Hi everyone,
This crochet seashell bag is very easy and quick project, and very fun to make it. The bag is started from the middle and continued in between two round pieces, made some increases on the way to make shape like Seashell. I used wool yarn for this project and the bag turned out so cute, extremely lightweight, and very strong.

Continue with the foundation chains like this for total of 112 chains. At the end, you will attach the handle to the other side, making sure the handle is not tangled, after you attach to the other side, you will make one more foundation chain and 1 regular chain, and fasten off. Weave the ends.
Done with the bag.
