Round 2: Start with ch 3 (replaces the first tr). Increase with 1 tr in each st, end with sl st (12)

Round 3: Start with ch 3 (replaces first tr), increase 1 tr in every 2nd tr, end with sl st (18)

Rounds 4-7: Repeat 3. Round (27m) (40m) (60m) (90m)

Round 8: 1 km in each stitch (90 stitches). Cut the yarn and fasten off the ends.

(If you are crocheting with a larger hook, round 7 can be done like this to avoid
Round 7: start with ch 3 (replaces first tr), increase in every 3rd tr, end with sl st =

Do not break the yarn.

Now crochet the bottom and sides together.

The bottom and one side are placed purl to purl and then crocheted together with kilometres. This creates a nice edge and detail on the bag, rather than being hidden inside the bag.

The crocheted part is ready and you can now add (not necessary), strap and closure (e.g. zip).

Your bag is now ready
