3. Turn Corner (Oval Shape)

3. At the beginning chain (first chain), work 1 additional sl st into the last unworked stitch.
4. Join the round using a sl st into the first sl st at the start of the row.

4. Round 2 – Reinforce the Oval

1. Chain 1 to start the round.
2. Work 1 sl st into each stitch across until the curved edge.
3. In the 4 curved stitches from the previous round, work 2 sl sts into each stitch (creating an increase to maintain the curve).
4. Continue working 1 sl st into each stitch along the opposite side until you reach the base curve.
5. At the curve, repeat the increase pattern (2 sl sts into each stitch from the previous curve).
6. Join with a sl st into the first stitch, then fasten off.

6. Additional Rounds

Work in continuous rounds:

1. For each new round, start with ch 1, then repeat: 1 sc into each stitch across and 2 sc into 4 center stitches at the curve.
2. As the bag grows in height, begin spacing out increases in the curve section:
   • Round 3 and onward: Add 1 stitch between each pair of 2 sc into the curve stitches.
   • Example: sc 1, 2 sc into next stitch.
3. Repeat this pattern for a total of 9 rounds or until desired bag height is achieved.

7. Shaping the Top Curve

1. After completing the main body, stop increasing in the rowing pattern.
2. Work 1 sc into each stitch without increases for a total of 3 to 4 rounds.

3. Finish with a sl st and fasten off.

Pattern Corrections

• Ensure the curve increases remain symmetrical in each round. Uneven increases result in distortion.
• Maintain even tension when working slip stitches, as they determine the base’s structural integrity.

Tips

1. Thread Selection: Use contrasting or light-colored thread during practice, as stitches will be easier to see than with darker yarns.
2. Customization: Add decorative embellishments like tassels or beading to personalize the bag.
3. Reinforcement: If desired, sew inner lining into the bag for extra stability and aesthetic appeal.
