Tips

• To check your gauge, crochet a swatch of 16 sc stitches and 18 rounds. It should measure 10 cm by 10 cm. This pattern's stitch counts are verified, but gauge affects the finished size.
• Use a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to help keep track of your progress, especially when working in continuous rounds.
• For a sturdier bag, consider crocheting with two strands of yarn held together or using a smaller hook size.
