Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to make the crochet item shown in the picture — a round–handle textured mini bag / pouch built from two ring handles.

🧶 COMPLETE DETAILED TUTORIAL

⭐ MATERIALS

• 2 plastic rings (6–8 cm)
• 3.0–3.5 mm crochet hook
• Medium cotton yarn (#2–#3 weight is perfect)
• Scissors, needle

---

🟤 PART 1 — COVERING THE RINGS

Ring 1

1. Make a slipknot on hook.
2. Insert hook through ring, yarn over, pull up loop.
3. Make 1 single crochet (SC) around the ring.
4. Continue making SC around the ring until the entire ring is tightly covered
   → usually 40–50 SC depending on ring size.
5. Slip stitch to the first SC to close.

Ring 2

• Repeat the same steps (40–50 SC).

🟤 PART 2 — CROCHET THE V-SHAPED PANEL (Shown on the left side of the photo)

This panel uses single crochet BACK LOOP ONLY (SC BLO) and increases at the center to make a perfect V.

JOIN TO RING 1

1. Insert hook into any SC on Ring 1.
2. Attach yarn with a slip stitch.
3. Chain 1.

You will now begin crocheting straight rows downward from the ring.

🔽 PANEL ROW INSTRUCTIONS

The first row sets the foundation.

Row 1

• Make 12 SC evenly spaced along the inner edge of the ring.
  (You can adjust: 10–14 SC is fine depending on thickness.)
• Chain 1, turn.

Row 2 (start the V-shape)

• Work SC BLO in first 5 stitches.
• In stitch 6 (the center stitch):
  → Make 3 SC BLO in the same stitch.
• SC BLO in the remaining 6 stitches.
• Ch 1, turn.

Row 3

• SC BLO until you reach the center stitch (this time it’s the middle of the 3-SC group).
• In that center stitch: 3 SC BLO
• SC BLO to the end.
• Ch 1, turn.

Row 4

Same as row 3.

Repeat

Work 8–12 rows total, ALWAYS increasing 3 SC in the center stitch.

This creates the ribbed triangle seen in the left image.

⚠ Tip: Make sure each increase always sits directly above the previous increase — that’s what forms the clean, sharp V.

🟤 PART 3 — ATTACH PANEL TO RING 2

When your V-panel reaches wide enough:

1. Hold panel against Ring 2.
2. SC directly onto the ring, exactly like you did with Ring 1.
3. Work 12 SC around the ring, matching the opposite side.
4. Slip stitch to secure.
5. Do NOT cut yarn — continue to Part 4.

🟤 PART 4 — CROCHET THE ROUND TEXTURED PART (Right photo)

Once both rings are connected by the panel, you now crochet around the entire bottom edge.

Round 1 — Base round

• SC evenly all the way around the panel’s edge.
  (Your stitch count does not matter! Texture pattern works on ANY number.)

Slip stitch to join.

⭐ TEXTURE PATTERN

This is what gives the beautiful wavy / pleated effect.

We alternate:

Round A: HDC all around
Round B: Front Post HDC (FPHDC) all around

Round A (HDC Round)

• Chain 1.
• HDC in each stitch around.
• SL st to join.

Round B (Textured Round)

• Chain 1.
• FPHDC around every stitch from the previous round.
• SL st to join.

---

🔁 Repeat

Repeat Round A + Round B 6–12 times:

• The fabric begins to curl inward naturally.
• The ridges create a shell-shaped pouch, exactly like the right-side photo.

---

🟤 FINAL SHAPING

• When the pouch looks as full as you want:
  → Fasten off.
  → Weave in ends with a needle.
• Gently stretch and adjust folds with your fingers.

Done! 🎉

You now have the exact textured mini handle bag shown in the image.
