How the bag is built

Colour carries the story.

1
Stitches hold the line.
Tight single crochet builds a drum-taut cylinder — the bag keeps its silhouette empty or full.
2
Bands speak before words.
Each kaanás is a known pattern — fuchsia on indigo reads as a wish for the bearer.
3
Contours keep colours honest.
Near-black lines between bands stop the palette bleeding — contrast, never compromise.
4
The base spirals outward.
The round starts at the centre and winds to the rim — geometry you can trace with one finger.
