NOTES
CONSTRUCTION
You will make this bag by first knitting the Base flat, then picking up around the Base and knitting the Body of the bag in the round. You will knit the Strap Channel separately and then knit it together with the Body as you work. You will finish the Body by working the Flap back and forth in rows, then you will knit the Strap, insert it through the Strap Channel, and join the ends of the Strap using a 3-Needle Bind Off.
