As beginners, you may familiarize yourselves with picot, bpdc and fpdc to finish this project. After crocheting the base (oval shape) the 3 rounds will be repeated up to the top.

This is a chic and fashionable bag which can be useful while walking on the beach or storage of additional eco bags to grocery store.

I added two strings on each end at the bottom to secure the bag when folded.

Size of the bag is 11” x 11”

Hook: Stainless Hook US F5  /  3.75MM
