This bag is awesome! There will be more of these in my future and soon.

I did 10 rounds for the bottom. It measured almost 12 in. I did 7 rows of the sides in DC and then 1 row in SC before starting the handle rounds.

I did DC2tg and skip 2 in the middle of the sides, instead of skipping 4.

Handles:
SS to the corner, then chain 60. SS to the next corner, 2 SC in the corner. SC across to the other corner, SC2tg for the middle 3 stitches. Repeat for the other corners. 2 SC in the corner where I started. Then SC across and around the handles. SS to the starting corner and fasten off. Then I did the inside of the handles. SS to the corner, SC across bag to other handle, with 3 SC2tg in center 3. SC around handle, two SC in corner. Fasten off and repeat inside other handle.

And another. I really do love these bags! I made this one for Chelsea. I made this one just like my first one except I used solid colored yarn and added three stripes in the middle. I used Drops Alaska, black and gray. For the stripes I did my first gray when I started the middle, then every other carrying the yarn up at the end of the round. I did my rounds on both sides of the handles in gray. Started July 5, finished July 7.
