Plarn bag

Chain 32.

Rnd 1
Hdc in 2nd ch from hook in each chain.
Continue to the corner end st, work 2 Hdc in end st. Continue around and down the back side of chain by working a Hdc in every stitch of chain, work 2 Hdc in end st.
Rnd 2
Hdc in each st down to first end. Work 2 Hdc in the 2 end sts, and then Hdc in ea st down to other end. Work 2 Hdc in ea of the 2 end sts. Do not connect at end of rounds, just continue working Hdc in ea st to create a seamless bag.
Rnd 3
Hdc in each st down to first end. Work 2 Hdc in the 3 end sts, and then Hdc in ea st down to other end. Work 2 Hdc in ea of the 3 end sts.
Rnd 4 – 30
Hdc in ea st around entire bag. End so at side of bag to begin flap.
Row 1 (Flap)
Ch 2, turn. Hdc in ea st across back of bag only to create flap.
(Crochet less one st on either side of back to bag to create a smooth flap overlay.)
Row 2 – 15
Ch 2, turn. Hdc in ea st across for flap. ( I did 15 rows before dec’s to create a tapered flap.)
Row 16 – 26
Ch 2, turn. Work 2 Hdc together over next sts (1 dec made) then Hdc in ea st to lasts 2 sts of row. Work 2 Hdc together over last 2 sts to create one dec.
Row 27
Ch 2, turn. Work Hdc in ea st. Finish off and weave under ends.
Edging
With right side facing and using J hook, attach plarn with a sl st to right side of upper edge of flap.
Sc evenly around complete edge of flap to create smooth edge. Finish off.
Strap: (edited 07/25/08 to clarify strap beginning)
Using N hook, start strap at side of bag by joining plarn with sl st with right side facing out 6 sts from flap. Sc across top edge of bag in the next 5 sts (toward flap.) *Ch 2, turn. Work Hdc in ea of the 6 sts.* Repeat between *until strap is 42” long. (Make sure your strap is straight and not twisted.)
End so your strap can be attached to other side of bag. Working from the inside Sc in ea of the 6 sts across the top edge of bag at opposite side to attached strap. This way your work doesn’t show the attaching of sts.
On the outside press down to flatten your strap attaching sts so it lays flat.
Leave long your end so you can reinforce your attaching sts of the strap by intertwining through your attaching sts to strengthen.
Finish off and weave under ends.
Attach a velcro strip under flap if desired.

Special Notes
Check at the end of each round that you have the right number of stitches.
Work into the back loops of all stitches and chains unless instructed otherwise.
Always turn clockwise as viewed from looking down on your work.
The back ridge is the line of bumps on the back of a chain, as opposed to the smooth chain on the front.
When you have turned and started a new round do not skip the first dc, work into it.
The foot is worked in rounds but you turn after joining each round using a Special Join:
This manoeuvre takes a lot of words to describe but is quick to do. It moves the working yarn from one side of the work to the other. When you turn and work you will get a much tidier result than the usual method.
1. Insert hook under both loops of first dc of the round and pull through a loop.
2. Withdraw hook from that loop.
3. Leaving a little of the working yarn loose in the back bring working yarn under hook between the dropped loop and the loop on the hook.
4. Reinsert the hook in the dropped loop and pull that loop through the other loop on the hook.
5. Holding the loose working yarn at the back firmly pull up the modified slip stitch you have just done very firmly so it is tiny.
6. Pull on the loose yarn at the back to firm up the loop on the hook.
7. Pull on the working yarn at the front to pull all the loose yarn through.
