Sewing your bag together.
First fold the sides in half long ways so stitch 1 is touching stitch 12. Wip stitch row 1 together. Repeat on the other side piece.
Then fold your middle piece together to find the middle stitch and mark it.
Put one side piece and middle piece together with the knit sides facing together.
Wip stitch them together, it won't be stitch to stitch for every color change you will need to skip a stitch for it to come out even.
Repeat on the other side.
When all the seams are sewn together, add a Rim
Pick up each stitch around the bag opening with color A using circular needles, knit 5 rounds and bind off.
Weave in your ends.
