Instructions:
Note: I did use some crochet in the sewing sections of this project – BUT this is completely optional!

Last R: K3tog; fasten off and weave in tails.
Assembly:
Sew 4 squares together to make one big square – optional: SC (single crochet) them together.
BACK:
2 options:
- a – either cast on 50 STS and make the back a separate piece to attach to front/ or
- b – knit up 50 STS on the bottom edge of the big square with right side facing and continue as one piece.
I knitted randomly Stocking Stitch and Plain Knit sections until piece measured approx same size as front (12/13 inches – 32/33 cm)
Cast off.
Assembly:
Sew the sides together to create the bag – optional: SC (single crochet) them together.
The way I did the CROCHET – after cast off I did not cut the yarn I continued working SC all along the edges; then I folded the bag together and slipped stitched the sides together – I also the made a few rounds of SC all along the top edge.
Knitted Top Edge:
Knit up a 100 STS along the top – 50 for Front and 50 for back.
Knit back and forth for about 4/5 rows to create a band; cast off and sew the small side together.
Handles:
I bought leather craft handles for my bag – but you can knit or crochet them!
