The bag is worked up by creating two separate flat panels which are then sewn together, and two handles are added. The handles are worked onto the bag in one piece.

It is highly suggested to have separate skeins of the main color (white yarn) to work from because some parts of the pattern require to use that color twice in a row. You can also work from the center pull and the outside end, however this can cause the yarn to get tangled. The other yarns are used one at a time, so there is no need for extra skeins or carrying of the yarn.

The dimensions of the finished bag are:
11.5in tall, 14in wide, two 24in handles

4mm Crochet hook
