  Step 1

  LAY YOUR SQUARES OUT INTO THIS SHAPE

  IF YOU ARE USING DIFFERENT GRANNY SQUARES THIS IS THE TIME TO PLAY AROUND WITH THE PATTERN TILL YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR PLACEMENT

  NOTE THE MIDDLE ROW GOING DOWN THE PAGE OF 3 SQUARES WILL BE THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BAG

• 

  Step 2

  PLACE 2 SQUARES RIGHT SIDES FACING OUT TOGETHER

  MATCH THE SIDES STITCH TO STITCH

• 

  Step 3

  FIND THE CENTRE OF A CORNER BETWEEN THE 2 SETS OF 3 CROCHET

  MATCH THE 2 SQUARES TOGETHER

• 

  Step 4

  PUT YOUR HOOK THROUGH THE SINGLE CHAIN STICH HOLE AND THROUGH BOTH LAYERS OF SQUARES

• 

  Step 5

  SLIP STITCH TOGETHER

• 

  Step 6

  YOU WILL NOW HALF DOUBLE CROCHET IN EVERY MATCHING STITCH THROUGH BOTH SQUARES

  WRAP YARN OVER HOOK ONCE

• 

  Step 7

  GO THROUGH TOP OF BOTHE STITCHES MAKING SURE IT IS THE SAME MATCHING STITCH ON EACH LAYER

• 

  Step 8

  WRAP YARN OVER HOOK AND PULL THROUGH

• 

  Step 9

  THERE ARE NOW 3 LOOPS ON YOUR HOOK

• 

  Step 10

  WRAP YARN OVER HOOK 1 MORE TIME
  AND PULL THROUGH ALL 3 LOOPS

• 

  Step 11

  UNTIL 1 LOOP REMAINS

  THIS IS HOW TO DO A HALF DOUBLE CROCHET

• 

  Step 12

  CONTINUE JOINING YOUR SQUARES TOGETHER ADDING THEM AS YOU GO WITHOUT BREAKING OFF THE YARN

  TRY TO COMPLETE AN ENTIRE ROW EACH TIME

  GOING ACCROSS ROWS FIRST THEN DOWN EACH DOWN ROW

  MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR PLACING YOUR SQUARES IN THE RIGHT PLACES TO COMPLETE THE PATTERN

• 

  Step 13

  TWO LOTS OF 2 SQUARES JOINED

• 

  Step 14

  8 JOINED

• 

  Step 15

  ONCE ALL YOUR ACCROSS JOINS ARE MADE ITS TIME TO DO THE DOWN ROWS

• 

  Step 16

  WHEN YOU GET TO A CROSS ROAD IN YOUR JOINS MAKE SURE YOU GO INTO THE CENTRE CORNER STITCH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PREVIOUS JOIN ROW

• 

  Step 17

  ONCE ALL JOINS ARE DONE IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS

  NOTE THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL CUT A LINING TO SIZE AND ATTATCH IT IF YOU WISH I WILL NOT BE DOING THIS AS I HAVE BAG INSERTS

• 

  Step 18

  FOLD FABRIC IN HALF WITH TWO POINTS ON BOTH SIDES FACING UP

  THESE POINTS WILL BE THE TOP OF YOUR BAG AND WHERE YOU WILL ATTATCH YOUR HANDLES ( NEXT TUTORIAL)

• 

  Step 19

  FIND THIS POINT ON YOUR BAG

• 

  Step 20

  PULL THE POINT UP AND JOIN 1 SIDE TO ONE LAYER THEN THE OTHER SIDE TO THE BACK LAYER FORMING THE BOTTOM CURVE OF YOUR BAG

• 

  Step 21

  YOUR BAG SHOULD NOW LOOK LIKE THIS

• 

  Step 22

  FIND THE 2ND SQUARE DOWN FROM YOUR TOP POINT

• 

  Step 23

  JOIN THIS AND THE OTHER SIDE AS YOU HAVE DONE JOINS PREVIOUSLY

• 

  Step 24

  TO NEATEN UP USE YOUR CONTRAST TO HALF DOUBLE CROCHET ALL AROUND THE BAG OPENING ONCE SLIP STICH TO END

  SEW IN ALL LOOSE ENDS IF YOU HAVE ANY

  TIME TO MAKE THE HANDLES

  (NEXT TUTORIAL)

• 

  Step 25

  TOP OPENING FINISHED

• 

  Step 26

  INSIDE IS QUITE ROOMY
