Materials

US Size H-8/5 mm crochet hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.

Clover Quick Locking Stitch Marker set (optional, but helpful for marking the holding pieces together for seaming).

Gauge
16 sc = 4” (10 cm) across. Exact gauge is not critical for this project. Use tight stitches so bag has dense, stiff fabric.
