Step-by-Step Instructions

Base

1. Start with a magic ring. Chain 1 (ch 1), then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. You should have 6 stitches.
2. Round 2: Work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. You will have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
3. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, then 2 single crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. You will have 18 stitches.
4. Round 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, then 2 single crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. You will have 24 stitches.
5. Continue increasing in this manner, adding one more single crochet before the increase in each round, until you have a total of 72 stitches.

Body

1. Round 1: Single crochet in each stitch around. You will still have 72 stitches.
2. Rounds 2-30: Repeat Round 1. This will create the body of the bag, giving it a sturdy and uniform texture.

Fringe

1. Cut strands of yarn approximately 10 inches long. You will need several strands for the fringe.
2. To attach the fringe to the bottom of the bag, fold each strand in half.
3. Insert your hook through a stitch at the bottom edge of the bag, pull the loop of the folded strand through, and then pull the ends of the strand through the loop to secure it.
4. Repeat this process around the base of the bag until you have added fringe to your liking.

Strap

1. Chain 80 stitches. This will form the length of your strap.
2. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. You should have 79 single crochets at the end of this row.
3. Fasten off the strap and sew each end securely to the inside top edges of the bag, ensuring it is well-attached for durability.

Finishing

1. Weave in all loose ends securely using a yarn needle. This will give your bag a clean finish and prevent any unraveling.

Now you have your very own Bohemian Fringe Bag! Enjoy using it for your outings or gifting it to a friend. Happy crocheting!
