Notes:

This bag is made by first crocheting a flat, circular base with double crochet stitches. From there, you will continue to crochet in the round, working sets of chain stitches until you’ve reached your desired length. You can easily adjust this pattern to make it any size you’d like! To make the bag wider, continue to crochet a wider base (adding 12 stitches to each round, following the pattern) while ending with a multiple of 3. To make it longer, simply crochet for more rounds. Keep yarn needs in mind, of course! It does become long and thin when filled with items, so remember this as you choose your sizing! Have fun!
