Materials;
I used a G hook, Red Heart Super Saver yarn in what I believe is Light Blue, and approximately 2.5 feet of ribbon.
Abbreviations are as follows:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
ROUND 1: Start with a magic adjustable ring. Ch 3. 15 dc. Join.
ROUND 2: Ch 3, *2 dc in next stitch, dc in next stitch*. Repeat from * to * to end. Join.
ROUND 3: Ch 3, *2 dc in next stitch, dc in next 2 stitches*. Repeat from * to * to end. Join.
That's the bottom of the bag. Now,
ROUND 4: (In back loops only for this round), dc in each dc around. Join
ROUND 5: Ch 3. Dc in each dc around. Join.
ROUND 6: Same as round 5.
ROUND 7: Same as round 5.
Halfway there!
ROUND 8: Ch 1. Sc in each dc around. Join.
ROUND 9: Ch 1. Sc in each sc around. Join
ROUND 10: Same as round 9.
Now for the ribbon row (you'll thread it in afterward):
ROUND 11: Ch 3. Dc in next two stitches. *Skip 1 stitch, ch 1. Dc in next three stitches*. Repeat from * to * to end. Join.
Almost done!
ROUND 12: Ch 1. Sc in each stitch around. Join.
ROUND 13: Same as round 12.
ROUND 14: Same as round 12.
For the last row, I added scallops. I know, I know. But, hey! There's nary a pom pom in sight. That's gotta count for something, right?
ROUND 15 (optional scallops): Skip 1 stitch, 6 dc in next stitch, skip 1 stitch, sl st in next st. Repeat from * to * to end. Join.
Finish off and weave in ends.
Weave ribbon through round 11.
