Hdc in 2nd ch from hook in each chain.

Continue to the corner end st, work 2 Hdc in end st. Continue around and down the back side of chain by working a Hdc in every stitch of chain, work 2 Hdc in end st.

thank you. :)

I hope I wrote this in a way that makes it easier for you!

Start by chaining 32.

For round one, make one half double crochet in the second chain from the hook.  Continue making a half double crochet in each stitch across until you get to the last stitch (which will be a corner).  Make two half double crochet in that last stitch.

Don't turn your work.  Continue crocheting around and down the other side of the chain by working a half double crochet stitch in every stitch of the chain.  End by working 2 half double crochet stitches in the last stitch.

Note, you won't be crocheting the rows going back and forth like usual.  You'll be crocheting all the way around the bag from the bottom to the top and won't have any seams to sew when it's done.
