Here’s how to crochet the bag with Solomon’s knots
Ch 43 for the foundation chain. Make a seamless bottom by crocheting Solomon’s knots (SK) on both sides of the foundation chain according to the chart.
Round 1: Crochet 1 sc in the 3rd ch from the hook. Then crochet 1 Solomon’s knot as follows: **stretch the loop on the hook to about 2 cm (0.8″), yarn over and pull through the extended loop, then insert the hook under the back strand of the extended loop, yarn over and crochet 1 sc*, repeat from ** to * once again, skip 4 ch and crochet 1 sc**, repeat from ** to ** another 7 times, then crochet 2 SK into the last stitch of the row. Continue by crocheting 8 SK along the other side of the foundation chain, into the opposite sides of the previous stitches, and finally crochet 2 SK at the other end as follows: 1 SK into the 2nd ch and 1 SK into the 1st ch = 20 SK.
Rounds 2–13: Continue without joining the rounds and crochet 1 SK in each space between the SKs of the previous round.
Round 14: Ch 3 in each space between the SKs and 1 sc in each sc from the previous round (the knot).
Round 15: 1 sl st in each stitch.
Finishing: Weave in the ends. Attach the handles with the snaps, one on either side of the top edge of the bag.
