Pattern

Square

You may do up any granny square pattern (preferably flat ones), here's a very basic granny square pattern.

You may choose to CH 3 or do a standing DC as the first stitch.
End each round with SS to 1st stitch.
Aside Round 1, begin each round at corner; so either SS or attach new colour to 1st corner.

Round	Stitches	Count
1	*3 DC, CH 2* × 4	12
2	*(3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC) in CH-2 space, CH 1* × 4	24
3	*(3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC) in CH-2 space , CH 1, 3 DC in CH-1 space, CH 1* × 4	36

Repeat R3 - working :

• (3 DC, CH 2, 3 DC) in each corner,
• 3 DC in each CH-1 space and
• spacing each 3-DC group with CH 1.

For reference, I made 11 rounds and came up to 33×33 cm.

Repeat for the other square.

Strap + Side of Bag

• Attach yarn to/make standing SC in 2nd CH of any corner in BLO.
• Work SC BLO in each stitch for 3 sides of the square (Repeat row for wider side)
• Continue with FSC to make up length of strap

For reference, I made 100 FSC and came up to 100 cm. Repeat for the other square.

Assembling

• Place squares with the 3 sides aligned
• Join by SS or sewing
• SS the straps together by the BLO as well
• Skip stitches to make button holes;
• Work till 17 stitches left from the end
• Skip 1, make a loose CH, and continue SS in next 3
• Repeat till the end
• On the other side, sew on 2-3 buttons to attach your strap.

This makes your strap adjustable; since crocheted straps stretch with weight and shrink back if unused for a while.

Optional - Add a toggle button for closure {ensure button can go through and catch in the CH-1 space between the 3-DC groups}

And we are done~
