class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2728 <strong>SECTION 1 \u2014 Start the Mini Bag Base<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Mini bag keychains usually start with either an <strong>oval<\/strong> or a <strong>circle<\/strong>.<br>For this tutorial, we will make a <strong>round mini handbag<\/strong>, which is the easiest for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udea2 <strong>Step 1: Make a Magic Ring<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a magic ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crochet <strong>6 single crochets (6 sc)<\/strong> into the ring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pull the ring tight to close the hole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This forms the center of your mini bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udea2 <strong>Step 2: Increase the Circle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will now crochet in continuous rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Round 2:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 sc in each stitch \u2192 12 stitches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3

palm-sized mini bag.<br>If you want a larger keychain, add:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Round 5 (optional):<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>3 sc,

Sides of the Bag<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your base is complete, you will begin forming the height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udea2 <strong>Step 3: Form the Wall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To help the sides stand up neatly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Crochet <strong>1 round of BLO (Back Loop Only) sc<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates a small ridge and helps cleanly separate the base from the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large

edge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 round of slip stitches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option B: Stronger edge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul

functional-looking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udea2 <strong>Step 6: Start the

into a semicircle:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the middle stitch of each row, add <strong>1 increase (2 sc in same stitch)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates a gently

ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udea2 <strong>Step 9: Crochet the Loop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the

will hold the jump ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udea2 <strong>Step 10: Add Metal
