Crochet strap of hollow bag crochet

Establishing the placement of strap

Prior to crocheting or sewing the straps, we will first confirm their precise location:

Gently fold the bag along its vertical midline and affix a stitch marker at the midpoint of both the front and back sections.
From each of these midpoints, measure outward four complete mesh spaces, placing a marker
Once these two markers are in place, the original midline markers are to be removed, leaving two markers on each lateral side of the bag.
You should now observe a total of 21 stitches spanning the distance between the remaining markers—this segment will serve as the foundation for attaching the straps.

Crochet strap

R1:
Continue progressing with single crochet stitches until the stitch marker is reached. Upon arrival, chain 90 to establish the first strap; ensure the chains lie parallel and untwisted, granting the strap a refined finish.
Counsel identical action for the opposing strap, anchoring it to the frame on the opposite side. Thus, the piece now possesses two chains that constitute the shoulder straps.

R2:
Commence a round of single crochet encircling the entire opening, including across the newly created straps.

At each of the four edges where the strap and the main body converge, work a two single crochets into one single crochet to smooth the junction and mitigate excess fabric bulk.

R3:
Duplicate the procedure of the previous round. Conclude this round with an invisible slip stitch, a technique chosen to eliminate the appearance of a joining seam.

R4:
The hook inert the inner edge to proceed with an additional round of single crochet to provide reinforcement to the straps themselves.

At the same four corners where the straps and the body meet, execute the same two single crochets into one single crochet to ensure consistent tapering. Conclude this round, consistent with earlier practice, using an invisible slip stitch to produce a tidy finish.
