Tips

• Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to help keep track of your stitches.
• To ensure your bag matches the intended size, always crochet a gauge swatch. The final size can vary significantly based on your personal tension and yarn choice.
• For a sturdier bag, use a slightly smaller hook size than recommended for your yarn, or use two strands of yarn held together.
