You'll need three
skeins of super bulky yarn,
a ten millimeter crochet hook
and a stitch marker.
To get started,
Chain nineteen.
For round one,
single crochet in the second chain
from the hook.
This single crochet counts as a stitch.
Single crochet and the next
sixteen chains.
Next, make three
single crochet is in the last chain.
Then working on the other side
of the chain base,
single crochet in the next sixteen chains.
Your stitches should match up
with the stitches from the other side.
And to finish round one,
make two single crochets
in the last chain.
Don't join the round together yet.
For round two,
make two
single crochets in the first stitch
and place your stitch marker here.
You'll want to move it
at the beginning of every round
from here on out.
Next, single crochet
in the next sixteen stitches.
then make two single crochets
in the next three stitches.
Single crochet
in the next sixteen stitches,
and finally, make
two single crochets
in each of the last two stitches.
You should have forty-four stitches
total now.
For round three,
make two single crochets
in the next stitch,
and move your stitch marker here.
You'll single crochet
in the next seventeen stitches.
Then make two single crochets
in the next stitch.
From here you'll single crochet once,
then make two single crochets in the next
stitch.
Repeat this once.
Then single crochet in
the next seventeen stitches.
You'll then make two single crochets
in the next stitch,
then a single crochet after that.
Repeat this once.
You should now
have fifty stitches total.
For round four, single crochet
in the next two stitches,
and move
your stitch marker here.
Then make two single crochets
in the next stitch.
Then crochet along the side
for eighteen stitches.
Then, along the curve,
make two single crochets
in the next stitch,
and single crochet
in the next two stitches.
Repeat.
Make two single crochets
in the next stitch
and crochet along the side
in the next eighteen stitches.
Then make two single crochets
in the next stitch.
Single crochet

Now we'll finish with two
single crochets in the next stitch,
single crochet
in the next three stitches,
two single
crochets in the next stitch,
and single crochet
in the last two stitches.
Now you will slip stitch to join,
and then chain one.
You should have sixty-two stitches total
and the bottom of the bag is complete!
Now we're
moving on to
constructing the sides of the back.
First, half double
crochet in the back
loop of the first stitch.
To do this, yarn over,
insert your hook in the loop
farthest from you on the "V,"
and pull through once.
You'll have three loops on your hook.
Yarn over, and pull through
all three loops to complete the stitch.
Continue this all the way around
the oval.
Slip stitch to join the round,
and chain one.
You should still have sixty-two stitches
as you build up the sides.
For round seven,
half double crochet in each stitch around.
Slip stitch to join the round,
and chain one.
For round eight,
half double crochet in the third
loop of the half
double crochet stitch below.
This loop is located
on the back of the stitch.
Half double crochet in this loop
and each stitch around.
Slip stitch to join the round,
and chain one.
Now will just repeat the last
two rounds until round eighteen.
So for rounds nine and ten,
half double crochet
in each stitch around,
then slip stitch to join the round
and chain one.
For round eleven,
half double crochet in the third
loop of the half

and then slip stitch to join the round
and chain one.
Switching it up for round

forming the bag handles.

in the first thirteen stitches
then chain twenty.
Now, skip eleven stitches
and half double crochet
into the twelfth stitch.
Continue to half double crochet
for the next nineteen stitches.
Chain at twenty again.
Skip eleven stitches,
and half double crochet
