CROCHET BAG PATTERN

Row 1: Sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain until the end. Ch 1, turn. Join round with sl st.
Rows 2-7: Sc in each stitch across row. Ch1, turn. Join round with sl st.
You will now change from rows to rounds.
Round 1: At the end of Row 7 of the bottom of the bag, instead of turning the fabric to start the next row, you will now crochet around the entire perimeter of the rectangular fabric you just completed. That means you’ll ch1 (place stitch marker here to mark the beginning of each round), and then sc in each stitch around, making sure to do 2sc in each of the four corners of the rectangle. Join round.
Round 2-6: Ch 1, sc in each stitch in the round, join round.
