Main pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 4 + 1. Work due to the scheme. Start with sts before arrow A, crochet to the central st, make the 2^nd half without central st in reflection to the first half. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once.

Stitches control: 12,5 sts x 6,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

For the 1^st detail, make 53 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase with yellow yarn and work with the main pattern. In 3 rows from the set-up row, continue work with green yarn. In 9 rows from the set-up row, continue work only on the central 53 sts. In 15 rows = 23 cm from the set-up row, finish your work. Make the 2^nd detail of bag in the same way.

For handles attaching, fasten the set-up row of details with 2 rows of treble crochets with yellow. Sew handles between them, fold the 2^nd row and turn it around handle to WS and sew.
