NOTES: This bag is created upside down by making the straps first, folding and creating the bag portion next, and then seaming up the bottom to finish. To adapt the strap length add or subtract an equal amount of stitches from the strap portions.
We'll begin this part by creating the straps & the top of the bag all in one. One of the best parts about this pattern I think is not having to create and attach the straps separately.
To begin CH 254 and SL to your beginning CH 1 to connect
*Place a ST marker in the CH 2 corner points to keep track of them.
ROUND 1:
CH 1(does not count as a ST), SC in the first 13 sts, SC/CH2/SC in the next ST,
SC in the next 100 sts(strap), SC/CH2/SC in the next ST,
SC in the next 25 sts, SC/CH2/SC in the next ST,
SC in the next 100 sts(strap), SC/CH2/SC in the next ST,
SC in the last 12 sts,
Lay your piece out and make sure you do not have any twists, SL to your beginning SC to connect
ROUND 2:
CH 1(does not count as a ST), HDC in the first 14 sts, HDC/CH1/HDC in the CH SP,
HDC in the next 102 sts, HDC/CH1/HDC in the CH SP,
HDC in the next 27 sts, HDC/CH1/HDC in the CH SP,

Don't miss the first ST after your corners! When working HDC sts in the same direction the top of the stitch is to the right of the post. If you can't find the top 2 loops go ahead and just place a 2nd HDC in the CH SP.
