bag tutorial part 4- handles

we are almost done with our tutorial.

hope you are happy so far with your bag.

lets get started on the handles.

straps-make 2

i wanted my straps to be 20 inches 

so i chained 40 inches(we are going to use them when they are folded).

i didn't count since the number 

will vary according to the desired length of your handles

row 2-4 dc all through 

you should end up with something like this

fasten off leaving a long strand of your yarn that you will use to join the strap

hold two edges together,and using overcasting stitch join them as follows

 you should end up with 2 of these straps

attaching the handles to the bag

put one of the strap through one eyelet of the bag and then through the next eyelet on the same side of the bag as shown below

join the edges with a needle and thread to have one infinity strap through your two eyelets on one side

do the same to the other side

strap holders-make 2

row1     chain40

row 2-15  dc all through.you should end up with this

taking one strap-holder place two straps of  one side of the bag in the middle

bring the two edges together and using overcasting stitch join them as below

do the same for the other side and you are done....

i hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
