Crochet Poinsettia Tote Bag

 This is a simple crochet bag with nylon yarn and a 4 mm hook using Suzette Stitch. I start of with a chain of 45 + 2. The base of the bag are only single crochet. 1 single crochet in each stitch and do increase in the corner. 

The 1st round, each corner do 4 single crochet in that 1 corner stitch, so in my case it will be 45 + 4 + 4. The 2nd round, do increase (2 single crochet in 1 stitch) in each of that 4 stitches at the corner (both corner). In my case, I will have 45 +8 + 8. You can stop here and work on the Suzette stitch or do 1 more row of increase, in which I did, to get a wider base. Can't do more than that as the corner will become too roundish. 

Now to work our way upwards, do Suzette stitches. Do a chain 1, in the next stitch do a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch. Skip a stitch. In the next do a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch. Skip a stitch and repeat until the end. At the end of the row I did not join it with a slip stitch but instead, like an amigurumi, I continue. So it goes round and round upwards with no joining stitches. Do add a marker to remind you where is your starting point.

Work until you have the height you want and at the end, do a slip stitch and do one to two rows of single crochet to make a border for the top. If you want to make a bag strap, can refer to my other video on it but as for this bag, I crochet a wooden handle to it. 

Once it is ready, I sew the Poinsettia flower in the middle of the bag.
