Last Rnd: ch2, hdc, 5dc, hdc in each sp around, in last space finish with hdc, 5dc, sl in 2nd ch, cut yarn and weave the end
Handle
Crochet 3 ch in the same length with double strands of yarn and braid them to create the handle
Note: make the chains a bit longer than the length you want for the handle as it is going to shorten slightly after braiding
Attach the braided handle to each side, weave all ends
Draw string
Make a long ch about 3 times the width, then insert it in and out in 4th rnd from the top to create a draw string
Note: you can use a darning needle to help you with this step
I hope you enjoyed crocheting this bag, see you in the next project
