You can make
this small bag in double crochet so that it will be made fast and still
beautiful. But the advantage of making bag in single crochet is it remains
stiff that that od double crochet bag.
Pattern for
double crochet bag:
R1: In magic
loop dc 16, cl
R2: dc2 in
each st, cl (32)
R3: (dc1,
dc2 in next) 16 times, cl (48).
Number of
base sts is same as above pattern in sc.
R4: same as
R7 above
R5: same as
R8 above.
R5: same as
R9 above.
R6 to R11:
dc1 in back loop of each st, cl (48)
R12 Join as
above then flap also I have made as above in scs.
It is more
simple quickly made so those who made it for order, this one is profitable.
The advantage of making the bag in sc design is that it remains stiff.
