This almost seamless bag works up quickly thanks to doubling the yarn while crocheting with larger hooks. The only seaming involved is the sewing of the handles to the bag, which is started flat from the bottom then worked up in the round.

Finished dimensions:
Bag measures 13 inches (33 cm) wide by 12 inches (30.5 cm) deep, excluding handles.
