PATTERN NOTES
This bag is crocheted in un-joined rounds from the bottom up until the full Bag Depth is met. Each strap is added one half at a time, then seamed in the center-top.

You will be instructed to place the removable stitch marker on the first stitch of the bag to denote the beginning of the round. Move the marker up to the first stitch of each new round as you work.
