PATTERN NOTES

Place stitch markers in fi rst and

last sts of both straight edges to

mark corners.

With tapestry crochet, carry

unused colour on WS of work,

starting at fi rst st of colourwork

round, even when not used

immediately. Carry yarn B

from beg of Rnd 11 to end of

Rnd 31.

Keep sts tight so colour carried

is not seen from the front.

To change colour, use new yarn

to work last pull through of st in

previous colour.

Each square on the chart

represents one stitch (1dc blo).

The design is the same on both

the front and back of bag.

When working from Chart read

all rnds from bottom to top and

from right to left.
