NOTES
This two-coloured bag is crocheted in a tubular form with a closed bottom seam. It has an interior pocket made with filet crochet.  Note that the pattern shifts slightly to the right because of the natural skew that occurs when crocheting in the round. Crochet stitches do not stack perfectly on top of each other causing the start of each round to shift slightly.
