        \ud83e\udea1 Step-by-Step: Crochet Shoulder Bag (Super Neat Look)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udd39 Part 1: Crochet the Base<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Start by making a sturdy oval base<\/strong> using single crochet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Ch 31 (this will be the base length).

        Round 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (30 sc), then work 3 sc in last ch.
        Continue working on the other side of the chain: sc in each ch (30 sc), 3 sc in last st. (66 sts total)

        Round 2\u20134: Work in continuous rounds. Place stitch marker at start. 
        [Sc in each st, and increase by 2 sc at each curve to keep the oval flat.]
        <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
        \u27a1\ufe0f After 4 rounds, your base should be a flat oval<\/strong> that lays neatly on a surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n
        \ud83d\udd38 Part 2: Build the Bag Body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        We now work upward in continuous rounds<\/strong> with hdc blo<\/strong> to create the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        Round 5\u201325: Hdc in **back loop only** around. (No increases)

        > Optional: Slip stitch in the first stitch and ch 1 at the start of each round to make a more visible seam line.
        <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
        \u27a1\ufe0f After 20+ rounds, your bag will be tall enough for essentials and hold its shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
