The unique tulip shape is created by a specific arrangement and joining of the squares. We&#8217;ll use a yarn needle and a simple whip stitch for a clean, durable seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Arrange the Squares<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lay out <strong>four of your squares<\/strong> in a row.

This will create the tulip shape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-part-3-adding-the-strap-and-finishing\">Part 3: Adding the Strap and Finishing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you&#8217;ll create a sturdy strap to finish your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Crochet the Strap<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With your main color, <strong>chain (ch) 100-120<\/strong>, or to your desired length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Row 1:<\/strong> Work <strong>1 single crochet (sc)<\/strong> into the second chain from the hook and into each chain across.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Row 2:<\/strong> <strong>Chain 1<\/strong>, turn.

This is the most crucial step for a professional and durable finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blocking (Optional but Recommended)<\/strong>: Gently mist the bag with water and shape it.
