Connect squares between one another in the process of making the last row due to the scheme. For side cuts, leave 1 lower square open from both sides. For arm-holes, leave 1,5 upper squares open from both sides from back and front. Fasten arm-holes 5 rows of single crochets, neck-hole – with 4 rows of single crochets and 1 row of “shrimp stitch”. Fasten lower edge and side cuts with 5 rows of single crochets.

Fasten the obtained rectangular with 1 row of single crochets. Then, fasten the long sides of rectangular due to the scheme 2. Size of rectangular is 28 x 18 cm.

Assembly

Sew the obtained purple rectangular to the 2/3 black detail – this will be flap and back side of bag. Fold the rest 14 cm of black detail inside under the flap. Make side from both sides in the following way: 1 row of “shrimps stitch” and 3 rows of single crochets from RS.

Sew sides to the back part of bag. Twist a cord of 20 threads of yarn in the following way: measure threads of 3 m 10 cm long, twist, fold in half and make a knot.

Sew cord to the sides of bag, the rest part of cord, which isn’t sewn – handle. Sew 2 pieces of adhesive taps to the inner side of flap of lower part of back and to the bag itself, as fastener.
