  • Step 2: Arrange hexagons as shown in the diagram below.  Be sure all hexagons are facing up.  If doing multicolor hexagons like the bag shown above, avoid putting two of the same colors side by side.

  • Step 3: Seam together with hexagons facing up with a single crochet seam (sandwich sides together and work a single crochet through both layers of hexagons).
  • Step 4: After seaming all hexagons together, fold as shown below and seam up sides with a sc stitch (sandwich sides together and work a single crochet through both layers).  I did each side working from the bottom then upwards and repeating for the other side.

  • Step 5: With the same color yarn as used for seaming, work the top edge of bag in sc.  To do this, tie yarn into stitch next to the side seam, ch 1 and work a sc in each st around.  Join with a sl st to close round.  Fasten off.
  • Step 6:  Weave in all ends that remain on bag with a tapestry needle.
