Tip: If working into the back bump is difficult, use a 5 mm hook to help ease into the stitches—then return to the 6 mm. Rows 2–5: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st across (20 sc). Body of Bag (V-Stitches): Row 6: Ch 4 (counts as dc + ch 1), turn. Dc in first st. V-st (dc, ch 1, dc) in each st across. (20 V-sts). Row 7: Ch 4, turn. Dc in ch-1 sp of first V-st. V-st in each ch-1 space across. (20 V-sts). Repeat Row 7 for a total of 35 rows of V-stitches. Closing Band: Row 41: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each ch-1 sp of V-st across. (20 sc) Rows 42–45: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st across. (20 sc) Sides & Straps: Note: If you're right-handed, you'll naturally work in a counterclockwise direction (to the left) as you go. You’ll follow a repeating sequence of: strap → side → strap → side. Strap: Ch 65 and turn. Join to opposite top corner with a sl st (be sure chain is not twisted). Side: *Sc across the 5 sc edge of the bag (1 sc per row = 5 sc). Sc in each V-st row-end space along the side (1 sc per row = 35 sc). Sc across the 5 sc edge of the bag (1 sc per row = 5 sc). Ch 65 for second strap and sl st to opposite top corner to join. Repeat from * until you reach the first ch-65 strap. This completes Round 1 of edging. Rounds 2–6 Work 1 sc in each chain and stitch around the entire bag. For the strap chains, I recommend working into the back bumps (back loops of the chain) for a neater edge. Tip: Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds. To finish, slip stitch to the first stitch to join or use an invisible join.
