Crochet Drawstring Bag Part 1

To start a design you have to make a knot like 

 But don't pull the crochet thread or wool tight. You will notice there is a circle formed which is a center of your design.

Into that circle make 12 double crochet and make a flat base.

After making 12 double crochet make a slip stitch to complete the design. You will notice that you made a flower design.

 One thing always remembers that don’t make tight double crochet if you do that your base turns into a basket shape.

After completing, the first row, make 2 chains to start a 2^nd row. And in each chain of double crochet of 1^st row make 2 double crochet. The total number of double crochet in 2^nd row must be 24. And after making 24 double crochet make a slip stitch to complete the 2^nd row.

As a number of rows increases, the size of the design also increases by adding one double crochet in first chain and in next chain making 2 double crochet.

To start a 3^rd row make 2 chains and in 1^st chain of double crochet make single double crochet and in next chain make 2 double crochet. Repeat this process to finish the 3^rd row. The total number of double crochet in 3^rd row is 36.

To start a 4^th row make 2 chains and in first 2 chains of double crochet make single double crochet and in 3^rd chain make 2 double crochet. Repeat this process to complete the 4^th row. The total number of double crochet in 4^th row is 48.

To start a 5^th row make 2 chains and in first 3 chains of double crochet make single double crochet and in 4^th chain make 2 double crochet. And in 5^th, 6^th, and 7^th chain of double crochet make single double crochet and in 8^th chain make 2 double crochet. Repeat this process to complete the 5^th row. The total number of double crochet in 5^th row is 60.

To start a 6^th row make 2 chains and in first 4 chains of double crochet make single double crochet and in 5^th chain make 2 double crochet. And in 6^th, 7^th, 8^th and 9^th chain of double crochet make single double crochet and in 10^th chain make 2 double crochet. Repeat this process to complete the 5^th row. The total number of double crochet in 6^th row is 72. At the end you have to make slip stitch to complete the 6^th row.

You can similarly increase the base size of bag for example making 7^throw, make 5 single double crochet in first 5 chains and in next chain 2 double crochet.

To make a basket shape:

To start a 7^th row make 2 chains and in each chain of double crochet make single crochet. The total number of single double crochet in each chain should be 72. To finish the 7^th row you have to make slip stitch.

Repeat the 7^th row process step by step to make 8^th row.

Note: When you make any design in any row the chain is formed in upper side of deign which act as a single chain for next row.
