Tips

Crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your finished bag will be the desired size and density. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round, especially in continuous rounds. For added durability, you can work all single crochet stitches through the back loop only or use a smaller hook size for a tighter fabric.
