HOW TO MAKE THE HANDBAG?

We will work this project in the round.

It measures 35 cm wide x 14 cm long.

Base

Oval

Chain 23 sts and single crochet. When you reach the last chain, work 3 single crochets in the same stitch and continue working on the other side of the chain, turning it completely until you reach the other end. When you reach the last chain, work 3 single crochets in the same stitch and continue working in single crochet until the end of the round.

You have made an oval, which will be the base of your bag.

Bag body

From now on, you will begin to crochet without increasing, inserting the hook through the center of the chain in this row.

When you reach the end of the row, continue crocheting in the round, decreasing 1 stitch on both sides in the 4th row.

When you have completed 8 rows from the beginning of the base, work the last row in slip stitch.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Sewing handles

Place the handle in the center of the bag and, with a tapestry needle and t-shirt yarn, join it, making the necessary passes until the base of the wooden handle is completely filled.

Repeat the operation on the other side and... your bag is ready!
