YOUR BAG IS NOW COMMING TOGETHER WITH THIS INTERESTING CONTRAST DETAIL. HI I KNOW I WAS GOING TO POST A HANDLE TUTORIAL BUT BECAUSE OF FLOOD DAMAGE I NO LONGER HAVE THIS ITEM OR CRAFT SUPPLIES A TUTORIAL CAN BE FOUND ON YOU TUBE WHERE I GOT THIS PATTERN IT IS BY bob wilson 123 JUST TYPE IN: GRANNY SQUARE BAG TUTORIAL PART 2 OF 3 OR PART 3OF 3
LAY YOUR SQUARES OUT INTO THIS SHAPE IF YOU ARE USING DIFFERENT GRANNY SQUARES THIS IS THE TIME TO PLAY AROUND WITH THE PATTERN TILL YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR PLACEMENT NOTE THE MIDDLE ROW GOING DOWN THE PAGE OF 3 SQUARES WILL BE THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BAG
PLACE 2 SQUARES RIGHT SIDES FACING OUT TOGETHER MATCH THE SIDES STITCH TO STITCH
FIND THE CENTRE OF A CORNER BETWEEN THE 2 SETS OF 3 CROCHET MATCH THE 2 SQUARES TOGETHER
PUT YOUR HOOK THROUGH THE SINGLE CHAIN STICH HOLE AND THROUGH BOTH LAYERS OF SQUARES
SLIP STITCH TOGETHER
YOU WILL NOW HALF DOUBLE CROCHET IN EVERY MATCHING STITCH THROUGH BOTH SQUARES WRAP YARN OVER HOOK ONCE
GO THROUGH TOP OF BOTHE STITCHES MAKING SURE IT IS THE SAME MATCHING STITCH ON EACH LAYER
WRAP YARN OVER HOOK AND PULL THROUGH
THERE ARE NOW 3 LOOPS ON YOUR HOOK
WRAP YARN OVER HOOK 1 MORE TIME AND PULL THROUGH ALL 3 LOOPS
UNTIL 1 LOOP REMAINS THIS IS HOW TO DO A HALF DOUBLE CROCHET
CONTINUE JOINING YOUR SQUARES TOGETHER ADDING THEM AS YOU GO WITHOUT BREAKING OFF THE YARN TRY TO COMPLETE AN ENTIRE ROW EACH TIME GOING ACCROSS ROWS FIRST THEN DOWN EACH DOWN ROW MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR PLACING YOUR SQUARES IN THE RIGHT PLACES TO COMPLETE THE PATTERN
TWO LOTS OF 2 SQUARES JOINED
8 JOINED
ONCE ALL YOUR ACCROSS JOINS ARE MADE ITS TIME TO DO THE DOWN ROWS
WHEN YOU GET TO A CROSS ROAD IN YOUR JOINS MAKE SURE YOU GO INTO THE CENTRE CORNER STITCH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PREVIOUS JOIN ROW
ONCE ALL JOINS ARE DONE IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS NOTE THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL CUT A LINING TO SIZE AND ATTATCH IT IF YOU WISH I WILL NOT BE DOING THIS AS I HAVE BAG INSERTS
FOLD FABRIC IN HALF WITH TWO POINTS ON BOTH SIDES FACING UP THESE POINTS WILL BE THE TOP OF YOUR BAG AND WHERE YOU WILL ATTATCH YOUR HANDLES ( NEXT TUTORIAL)
FIND THIS POINT ON YOUR BAG
PULL THE POINT UP AND JOIN 1 SIDE TO ONE LAYER THEN THE OTHER SIDE TO THE BACK LAYER FORMING THE BOTTOM CURVE OF YOUR BAG
YOUR BAG SHOULD NOW LOOK LIKE THIS
FIND THE 2ND SQUARE DOWN FROM YOUR TOP POINT
JOIN THIS AND THE OTHER SIDE AS YOU HAVE DONE JOINS PREVIOUSLY
TO NEATEN UP USE YOUR CONTRAST TO HALF DOUBLE CROCHET ALL AROUND THE BAG OPENING ONCE SLIP STICH TO END SEW IN ALL LOOSE ENDS IF YOU HAVE ANY TIME TO MAKE THE HANDLES (NEXT TUTORIAL)
TOP OPENING FINISHED
INSIDE IS QUITE ROOMY
