Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

Adorn this bag with covered buttons and a sweet matching lining. Choose D-shaped handles or ones with slots; pattern can easily be adjusted to fit your handles but I would recommend having previous crochet experience for this pattern.

Pattern uses worsted weight yarn.

UPDATE: I’ve been tracking down some similar handles which can be found here:

I have to say I haven’t used these nor am I familiar with these retailers but they look like they would work.

ERRATA:

Row 13 should read:

♥Work 1 dec sc in nx 2 sts, 1 hdc in nx st; Rep from ♥ 2 more times, hdc in ea st across until 8 st rem;
♥Work 1 dec sc in nx 2 sts, 1 HDC in nx st; Rep from ♥ once more, work 1 dec sc in last 2 sts, ch 2, turn (22)

If you have already worked the bag as written, this small error would not affect the look of it.
