Designer Note: This bag is made “upside down.” The CO edge is the top of the bag and the base of the bag is the mitered BO. The flap and strap are knit on after the bag is finished. The strap has a running stitch on either side as both a design element and to help keep the strap from stretching. Note - on charts where you’ve done a CC1 knit rnd, where the chart then shows a black bar on white, purl on the RS with CC1.
