Notes
Both versions of this bag are the same until you get to the finishing. Bag begins and ends with bottom flaps worked back and forth in rows. Stitches are then picked up along the edges of the bottom flap, by lifting a loop along the side edges of the bottom flap, and the loop between each cast-on stitch along the long edge, and remainder of bag is worked in the round.

Errata
’C4F’ should say, “slip 2 to the cable needle” ,not “slip 4…”.
