The bag is worked using the Magic Loop Technique starting with a Turkish Cast On creating a seamless design. First the main part of the bag is worked in the round following an easy lace chart creating the beautiful leaf pattern. Then the bag is divided into two parts, front and back, and worked separately in the flat with decreases for the top part of the bag. The straps are worked as I-cord tubes and joined together using Kitchener stitch.
