Cuddles The Caring Bear has got your back so you can keep the good vibes rolling, just load up the heart-shaped front pocket with sweets and treats to take along for the ride! Lining will protect small items from falling out of the bag through the stitches and will prevent your bag from stretching; it can be finished on a simple sewing machine or by hand (instructions are included in the pattern). Shoulder straps are elegant, but at the same time designed to be practical. They are stabilized with an additional center-pull cord and can be adjusted to the required size using buttons. The pattern is written row-by-row using US crochet terms, along with crochet diagrams, step-by-step photos, and a conversion chart to UK terms.
