You only need to know how to single crochet and how to join a round to duplicate this single crochet bag pattern. It is worked in one piece from the bottom up, making it great for beginners.
I used a variegated yarn and was super happy with the way the spirals turned out. Depending on your tension, you may get a whole different design. I had to unravel a few times to keep the spirals somewhat consistent throughout.
Another thing I love about this bag is that it is solid and durable! At the same time, you might still want to line it to make it last even longer. Here is the tutorial on how to line a bag.

Handles
- Lay the bag flat to place your markers for the handles. Count over 14 sts on the sides of the bag and place stitch marker in 15th stitch. This leaves 20 sts marked off in the middle. Do the same on the other side. Stitch markers should align on each side of the bag. Do not crochet into the 20 stitches in the middle.
- Rnd 51: Ch 1, sc in same st as join and into each st up to marked st, * loosely ch 60 (or any number depending on how long or short you want the handles), sk the 20 sts marked off in the middle*, sc in next 28 sts; rep from * to * once; then sc in remaining sts; join with sl st in first sc. [56 sts and 120 chs]
- Note: Work into the back bumps of the chs to keep things looking the same on both sides of the handle.
