Materials Used:

• 3-3.5 mm Crochet Hook
• 1 mm Transparent PVC
• Cord or Bag Handle
• Ruler, Pencil, Needle, Hole Punch

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
   • Gather all materials: crochet hook, PVC, cord or bag handle, ruler, pencil, needle, and hole punch.
2. Cutting the PVC:
   • Measure and cut the transparent PVC according to the desired size of your beach bag. Use the ruler and pencil to mark the measurements on the PVC.
   • Use the hole punch to make holes along the edges of the PVC, about 1 cm apart. These holes will be used to crochet around the PVC.
3. Crocheting the Bag:
   • Insert the crochet hook into the first hole of the PVC and start with a slip stitch.
   • Crochet a single crochet stitch into each hole around the edges of the PVC. This will form the base of your bag.
   • Once you have crocheted around the edges of the PVC, you can start crocheting rows to build up the sides of the bag.
   • Continue crocheting in rounds, using single crochet or your preferred stitch, until the bag reaches your desired height.
4. Attaching the Handles:
   • If you are using cord for handles, measure and cut two equal lengths of cord.
   • Attach each end of the cord to the top edges of the bag using a strong knot or by sewing them securely with the needle.
   • If you are using pre-made bag handles, attach them to the bag according to the manufacturer’s instructions or by sewing them securely to the top edges of the bag.
5. Finishing Touches:
   • Ensure all knots are tight and secure.
   • Trim any excess thread or cord.
   • Optionally, you can add decorative elements such as tassels or beads to the bag.

Tips:

• When punching holes in the PVC, make sure they are evenly spaced to ensure a neat and uniform crochet edge.
• Choose a durable and weather-resistant cord or handle material to ensure the longevity of your beach bag.
