10. Put 3 double crochet stitches into the first space of the row just made.

11. Make 2 chain stitches.

12. Continue making clusters of 3 double crochets in each space with 2 chains between—to end of row. The last stitch in the row will be 1 double crochet taken into the top of the 3 chain stitches which were used in turning the row below.

13. Continue making rows like these two until there are 6 rows. This makes one side of the bag.

14. Taking up the threads on the other side of the first row of chain stitches which you made, make other side of bag like first side. (See picture below.)

15. Fold the two sides of bag together, along the row of chain stitches first made, and fasten them together with single crochet stitches along the edge, catching each side.

16. Make 1 row of single crochet all around the top of the bag.
