Step 1: Crocheting the Base

• Combine two strands of plush wool together for added thickness.
• Round 1:
  • Begin crocheting along the bottom of the bag.
  • Crochet two stitches into each opening around the base.
  • In corner openings, crochet three stitches for added stability.
  • Mark the first stitch with a stitch marker to track the start/end of the round.

• Round 2 and Beyond:
  • Crochet one stitch into each stitch without increasing.
  • Continue to crochet rounds until you achieve the desired height for the bag.

Step 2: Finishing the Main Body

• Once the desired height is reached, check it against the pocket flap for alignment.
• Complete the round by crocheting up to the stitch marker. Cut the thread and pull it out to finish this section.
• Hide the loose thread using a wool needle, weaving it back and forth to secure it invisibly.

Step 3: Preparing the Sides

• Fold the bag and align the right and left sides, marking them with stitch markers.
• Count equal stitches on both sides, ensuring symmetry by choosing an even number (e.g., 8 stitches on each side).
• Remove middle markers and prepare to crochet the sides.

Step 4: Crocheting the Bag Sides

• Start at the first stitch marker and crochet across to the second marker, adding a stitch marker to remember your starting point.
• After completing the row, turn your work.
• Decreasing Rows:
  • Chain one, skip the first stitch, and crochet the second stitch while decreasing by stitching off two stitches.
  • Place a stitch marker to mark the decrease.
  • Continue crocheting to the marker and decrease similarly at the end of the row.
• Repeat this process with decreases until the side panels are complete.

Step 5: Attaching the Pocket Flap

• Position the pocket flap and secure it with thread to ensure it doesn’t shift while sewing.
• Use slip stitches to sew the flap to the body of the bag.
  • Make sure not to sew too tightly to avoid puckering.
• Complete the stitching process, verify the alignment, and hide the thread ends for a clean finish.

Step 6: Finalizing the Closure and Hardware

• Attach the closure mechanism by aligning its position on the flap and the bag.
• Secure the metal parts and press them firmly into place.
• Add carabiners and the bag strap for functionality.
• Optionally, sew in a lining for a polished interior.
