How to read the pattern

Each step is separated by a comma. Ch1 and ch2 at the beginning of every row doesn’t count as a st unless specified otherwise. When there is a stitch followed by a number, that number of stitches needs to be worked in the same stitch. Example: "Lhdc2" it means that you have to crochet 2 Lhdc into the same stitch (increase). When there is a number followed by a stitch, that stitch needs to be worked over that number of stitches. Example: “6Lhdc” it means that you have to crochet 1 Lhdc in each of the next 6 sts. Where there are () in the pattern, work everything as a set, as many times as indicated. Example: (13Lhdc, Lhdc3) x 3 times, it means that you have to repeat the set between the () as indicated in the pattern. The rows with “holes” will create the holes for the cord and buttons. The numbers in the () at the end of each round/row is the total number of stitches in that round/row. These numbers are there just to check your work.

The cord

To make the cord we use the US E4/3.5 mm hook. Step 1 - ch2, insert the hook into the 2nd ch, yo and pull up a loop (two loops on hook, fig. 12), Step 2 - ch1 through the first loop on hook, drop the worked ch and hold it with your fingers (fig. 13), ch1 through the remaining loop on hook (fig. 14) and pick up the dropped ch (two loops on hook fig. 15). Repeat Step 2 until the cord reaches 82cm. Finish the cord by ing the yarn through both loops on hook, cut the yarn and fasten off.

Ch11, starting from the 2nd ch from hook, sc until the end of the row (10 sts), with sl st, ch1 and make another row of sc, with sl st, cut the yarn and wave in all ends and sew the piece in the middle. This way you create 2 holes to insert the cord to close the bag.

Assembly

Crochet the pieces together: insert the hook into the exterior loop of the side (fig. 16) and into the exterior loop of one (fig. 17), new yarn and sl st through both loops on hook (fig. 18).
