Pattern Instructions

1. Make the Base (Dark Color Yarn)

1. Make a slip knot.
2. Chain 32 (not too loose or tight).

Side 1:

3. Turn and work into the second chain from hook:
   • Place 4 single crochets (sc) in this end chain for the rounded edge.
4. Work 1 sc in each of the next 30 chains.

End of Row:

5. In the last chain, make 4 sc (turn to work along opposite side).

Side 2:

6. Work 1 sc in each stitch along the opposite side of the starting chain (30 sc).

Join:

7. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc.
8. Place a stitch marker in this join.

2. Add Height and Build the Base

Round 2:

1. Chain 1 (ch 1) (counts as your first sc). Sc in the same stitch.
2. In next 3 corner stitches, make 2 sc in each (8 sc at rounded ends).
3. Along each long side, 1 sc in each back loop only of the 30 stitches.
4. At the next corner, 2 sc in each of the 4 end stitches.
5. Complete the round and join with a sl st to the marked stitch.

Round 3:

1. Ch 1, 1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch, 1 sc in next—repeat at corners for a smooth edge (as in video: 2, 1, 2, 1, etc.).
2. Work 1 sc in each back loop along the sides.
3. Continue this increase pattern around the corners to keep the base flat and broad.
4. Move the stitch marker up at the beginning of each round.

Repeat:

• Continue in this pattern for about 4–7 rounds. Each round, increase symmetrically at the corners for an even, flat base.
• By round 4, you should have 94 stitches; adjust for your own size if needed.
• For a wider bag, add extra rounds, keeping the stitch count increased evenly.

3. Build the Sides

1. After enlarging the base, work 1 round with NO increases—just 1 sc in each stitch around. This turns up the sides.
2. Color Changes: (Optional) After the desired rounds, switch to your second color for stripes or accents.
3. Continue working 1 sc in each stitch (no increases) for about 18 rounds in the dark color.
4. Switch to the lighter color for 16 rounds.
5. (Optional) Add more rounds in the dark color for extra height.

4. Finishing Touches

1. When you reach your desired height (about 20 cm), finish off and weave in all ends.
2. Attach handles to the sides (crochet or ready-made).
3. (Optional) Sew in lining for more strength.
4. Your stiff base handbag is ready!

Tip

Crochet tightly for a sturdy, structured look, especially on the base and sides.
