How to Sew the Front of the Bag
Lay out your granny squares according to layout pattern. Secure them with stitch markers in their correct positions.
Find the center line and fold the piece in half. Secure both sides with stitch markers to create the bag shape.
Begin seaming along the marked edges using single crochet joins. This method creates a more structured and dimensional edge.
Start following the first seaming line as shown.
Fold the two granny squares together. Locate the first single crochet position at the corner chain space. Pull up a loop and make a locking stitch. Work a single crochet in the same stitch.
Match up stitches between both granny squares one by one. Continue working single crochet joins along the seam. Repeat this single crochet joining method throughout.
Pay special attention at corner intersections. Work a single crochet into the chain space. Begin connecting the next two granny squares. Start with another single crochet in the chain space.
Follow the stitch pattern in sequence. Work single crochet joins consistently.
Demonstrate the process one more time. Continue repeating this joining method.
Complete all seams. Trim all excess yarn tails neatly. Weave in any remaining ends.
How to Sew the Back of the Bag
Insert your hook, then work a single crochet into the braid stitch.
Continue working single crochets in sequence, being careful to hide the yarn tails as you go, remember to maintain even tension throughout.
Complete all the slip stitches to join, pull through to secure everything neatly, trim the yarn tails for a clean finish.
How to Sew the Base of the Bag
Begin the base seaming. Follow the marked path direction. Work your stitches one by one. Keep the tension even as you go.
Insert your needle. Start working single crochet stitches. Repeat the previous seaming method. Continue working around the piece.
Complete all your stitches. Pull through carefully. Cut the yarn neatly. Secure the end.
Follow the marked path for final seaming. Work your way around steadily. Complete all joining stitches.
How to Assemble the Bag
Begin the last round by pulling out the yarn and making a slip stitch. Insert your hook in the same stitch. Start working single crochets in sequence.
We need to crochet a long chain for securing the ball charm. We made 22 chain stitches, but adjust based on your tension. Just make sure it's long enough to wrap around the ball.
Work single crochets in sequence. Repeat until you reach the end.
Slip stitch to the first stitch. Fasten off and cut yarn.
Position the ball against the bag. Sew it securely in place. Reinforce the stitching several times.
Hide the yarn end in nearby stitches. Cut the yarn.
Repeat this process for all remaining yarn ends.
Attach the bag strap according to the video placement. Your bag is now complete!

Notes
Crochet Tips:
1. Keep tension consistent for a uniform spherical shape.
2. Don't overstuff - ball should be firm but not stretched.
3. Use stitch markers to track round beginnings.
Assembly Tips:
1. Align all squares with stitch markers first before seaming to ensure proper bag shape.
2. Keep joining tension consistent for professional-looking seams, especially at corners.
3. Double reinforce strap attachments with extra rounds of stitching for durability.
