• 3mm polypropylene nautical thread
• Pair of wooden handles (customizable)
• 2 wooden beads (20mm)
• 2 articulated rings
• 2 carabiners
• Tapestry needle
• Nylon thread for sewing
• Crochet hook compatible with 3mm thread
• Scissors
• Lighter (for sealing ends)

Step-by-Step Pattern

Step 1: Foundation Chain

• Chain 54 loosely (do not tighten chains; this ensures flexibility).
• Turn your work, skip the first chain, then work 53 double crochets (dc) along the chain.

Step 2: Row 2 – Motif Row

• Chain 1, turn.
• Start from the second stitch:
  • Half double crochet (hdc) in the first stitch,
  • Slip stitch (sl st) in the next,
  • Repeat hdc and sl st alternately until row end.
• Maintain this alternating hdc and sl st motif for texture.

Step 3: Row 3 – Single Crochets (Back Loops Only)

• Chain 1, turn.
• Work single crochets (sc) into the back loop only of each stitch.
• This adds dimension and texture.
• You will have 53 sc stitches.

Step 4: Row 4 – Repeat Motif (hdc & sl st)

• Chain 1, turn.
• Repeat the Row 2 motif sequence (alternating hdc and sl st).

Step 5: Repeat Rows 3 & 4 Alternately

• Continue alternating: one row single crochets (back loops only), one row motifs (hdc & slip stitches).
• Work 36 total rows, maintaining this sequence.

Step 6: Check Dimensions & Mark Corners

• After 36 rows, the piece should measure approximately 36.5 cm length × 25 cm width.
• On both shorter edges, count 22 stitches from corners and mark points for folding. These marks create corner folds.

Step 7: Folding Corners & Shaping

• Fold at marked points, leaving a corner edge of 21 stitches width on each side.
• Chain 1 and turn.
• Along each corner fold, work in the same motif pattern (hdc and slip stitch alternation) for 5 rows to sculpt the corners.
• Finish off threads but leave a tail on two corners for sewing.

Step 8: Sew Corners

• Using a tapestry needle, sew the corners on the right side (outside). The wrong side remains inside.
• Stitch through the little legs of the stitches to maintain a seamless finish.
• After sewing, fold bag right side out.

Step 9: Single Crochet Border

• Attach thread at corner on top row.
• Work single crochets alternating stitches over motifs and sc rows around bag’s top opening.
• Finish this round with a slip stitch.

Step 10: Slip Stitch Rounds

• Work 5 rounds of slip stitches around the bag’s top, using back loops only for a neat edge.
• Skip the last stitch on the final round to create a clean finish.
• Finish off and weave in ends, then seal with lighter.
• 

Step 11: Attach Articulated Rings

• Fold corners inward slightly and loop the articulated rings in the fold.
• Sew rings tightly to the bag using yarn and needle.

Step 12: Attach Wooden Handles

• Using nylon thread and tapestry needle, sew wooden handles securely to the bag’s ring attachments.
• Reinforce with multiple passes of needle to avoid loosening.

Step 13: Make & Attach Strap

• Create the strap by chaining the desired length (approx 80cm here).
• Crochet 3 sc into each chain returning on outer loops; then transition into double crochets and continue alternating for required length.
• Attach carabiners on each end and securely sew strap to bag.

Step 14: Tassel Decoration (Optional)

• Create tassel by wrapping thread multiple times around a small object (e.g., phone case).
• Tie off tightly, cut loops, and trim ends.
• Seal ends with lighter flame and attach beads before securing tassel on articulated rings.

Tips from the Tutor (Lany):

• Keep chains loose at the start to avoid stiffness in the base.
• Use back loop stitches to add texture and flexibility.
• Seal thread ends with a flame carefully to prevent fraying but avoid burning your work.
• Wooden handles add elegance—consider customizing with your own brand!
• Leave thread tails slightly longer for easy sewing.
