NOTES

1. Read the pattern carefully before starting.
2. The beginning ch 1 does NOT count as a stitch.
3. Asterisks * * indicates pattern repeats. You need to repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed or repeat at specified locations.
4. When you see something like this 2 SC, it means you have to work 2 SC in the same stitch, and when you see something like this SC 2, it means you have to SC in the next 2 stitches.
5. This pattern can be easily adjusted to your preferred size but bear in mind that the amount of yarn will not be the same as listed. When adjusting the size of your bag, make sure to have an odd number for your foundation chain.
