1. Start Body with Magic Ring and Popcorn Stitch Round

- Each popcorn: 5 treble crochet stitches (tr). Essentially, yarn over twice, insert hook, pull through 2 loops repeatedly, close cluster tightly.
- Separate popcorn clusters by chaining 3 stitches (except last cluster where chain 2 to keep equal width).
- Pull ring tight and secure.
2. Increase Round – Doubling Popcorns
- In the next round, work two popcorn stitches in each chain space between clusters to increase size evenly.
- Separate with chain 2 between popcorns, chain 3 between sets.
- Complete the round by slip stitching to starting chain.
3. Subsequent Rounds Adding Popcorns & Increases
- Follow the rule: work two popcorns in each increase space, one popcorn in normal space.
- Chain 2 or 3 to space clusters.
- Continue rounds until you complete 5 rounds of increases, creating a half-moon shape approx 34 cm tall and 29 cm wide.
4. Continue Body Without Increase
- After 5 increase rounds, continue popcorn rounds without increasing to build height, usually about 14 more rounds or as needed for desired bag length.
5. Crochet Ears (Make Two)
- Chain 13.
- Starting from 4th chain from hook, make one double crochet (DC) stitch per chain across.
- At last chain, add 7 more DC stitches in same stitch to form round ear shape (total 8 DC in last stitch).
- Adjust yarn tension and finish ear off. Repeat for second ear.
6. Crochet Sheep Face
- Begin with magic ring in brown yarn.
- Chain 3 for height (counts as first DC).
- Make 7 DCs in ring; join with slip stitch.
- Chain 1, then follow increases with DC or as shown to shape face.
- Embroider or glue small beads for eyes.
- Place face centered on bag front.
7. Assembly – Attach Ears and Face
- Position ears near top edges of bag front piece.
- Sew firmly with yarn needle, securing multiple passes.
- Attach face by sewing or gluing securely in place.
8. Work bag edging and opening
- Crochet 2 rounds of single crochet (SC) around the bag opening for neatness and durability.
- Adjust stitch counts to keep opening even.
- Secure yarn ends invisibly.
9. Add Magnetic Clasp
- Attach clasp to back of bag flap and bag body so it closes firmly but discreetly.
10. Crochet and Attach Straps
- Work chain stitches to match or double the width of the bag, plus approx 10 cm for tying ease.
- Reinforce strap by crocheting a row of SC back over chain for strength.
- Attach straps on each side securely with single crochet or stitching.
- Adjust length according to child/adult size.
