The bag starts at the bottom and is worked up to the handles. The nylon thread is durable and strong.

Finished measurements are (laying flat) strap measure 16”, bag width is 11”, and bag length (without strap) is 12”. The strap can easily be lengthened or shortened.

If you find the #18 nylon is too hard to find, you can also use Lion Brand 24/7 cotton or similar weight yarn.
