To change color, finish the last stitch of the row with the old yarn, but stop before the final yarn over.

• Introduce the new yarn by holding it behind your work, yarn over with the new yarn, and pull it through the last loops of the stitch.

2. Use the crochet hook to thread the string through Rnd 29, 2 SC at a time.
3. Attach the tag using a tapestry needle and the yellow yarn.
4. Weave in all ends.

Make the base firm ~ optional

1. Make another base (you may also use fabric stabilizer)
2. Turn the bag inside out, then place the 2^nd  base on top of the 1^st one.
3. With Yarn B and a tapestry needle, sew both bases together all the way around, one ST at a time.
4. Cut and weave in all ends.

Line your bag ~ optional

Lining the bag is easy – no need for major sewing skills (hand sewing works!). You will make a fabric pouch the same size as your crocheted bag, slide it in, and stitch up the top.
