Round 8 – 1 sc in

Note:
Star st: First
finish your last sc with white, then insert your hook into the second chain
from the hook. Yarn over and pull a loop through. This is the beginning of a
single crochet stitch, but instead of completing the entire stitch, leave the
loop on the hook. Insert your hook into the next chain, yarn over and pull
through. There are now three loops on the hook.
Continue
to insert your hook into subsequent chains, yarning over and pulling through
until there are six loops on your hook. With six loops on your hook, yarn over
one more time and pull through all six loops. The loops create the
"spikes" that make up your first star.
Chain
one. This finishes the star. Next, insert your hook into the "eye"
that you just made. Yarn over and pull through. There will now be two loops on
your hook. Insert your hook into the space between the two last
"spikes" from the first "star." Yarn over and pull through.
There will be three loops on your hook.
Insert
your hook into the same chain where you worked the last stitch of the previous
star. Yarn over and pull through. There will now be four loops on your hook. Insert
your hook into the next chain, yarn over and pull through. Repeat in the next
chain. This will give you six loops on your hook.
Finish
this second star as you did the first one. Yarn over and pull through all six
loops on the hook. Chain one to close the second star. Repeat the steps above
to make stars all the way around. When you get to the end, make one hdc in the
last stitch. Once done Crochet two hdc
stitches into the eye of the star in the row below to make the top of the star.
Round 9- With white
start st all the way around.
Round 10-
2
hdc in each eye of the star.
Round 11-
With
black, 1 sc in each st.
Round 12-
26Now
you will repeat this changing the color of round 9 and 10 with whatever colors
you want.
After
you have finished your colors you do 4 rounds of hdc’s then it’s time to make
the holes for your handles. You can use st markers to mark out your holes. To
make you holes you need to do 1 round of sc and you need to ch 3 and sk 3
making sure that the hole evenly lined up with each other.
When you are done
making your holes for your handles you will do 4 more rows of sc.
You don’t have to
do this part but you can if you want to, I had some fabric around and cut 2 pieces
the same size of my bag and sew them
together leaving one side open, then turning it inside out and sewing it inside
my bag. If you do this don’t for get to cut holes in the inside bag to line up
with the outside bag so you can use your Grommet Kit.
Now you will use
your Grommet Kit by putting the one that looks like a top hat on the outside of
the bag and other part on the inside of the bag and using the hammer and long metal
part to hammer the 2 parts together.
Now after you have
done the Grommet Kit for all 4 holes on to the handles, which is just sc until
you have the handle as long as you want then just turn and sc to end, now your
handles are made. To attach them just put them through the holes and tie a knot
so them don’t come out. Enjoy
