Work in spiral, un-joined rounds, moving the marker up each round to mark the beginning of the round. Pull on the tail end to close magic loop. Do not join, place marker for beginning of round.

Round 1: Ch 1, and work 6 sc into the loop. With two strands held together, begin with a magic loop. Increases are staggered to keep edges round. Two strands of yarn are held together throughout. Outer edge of bag is worked separately and crocheted on to front and back. Use a stitch marker to keep track of start of round. Note: Front and back of bag are worked in un-joined spiral rounds.
