Let's get started! Cut 2 rectangles measuring 15" long and 17" wide.

Zipper

For the zipper I used a smaller hook, (3.0mm) the yarn. Since the yarn was too thick to fit through the holes on my zipper, I separated the strands of yarn and attached the ends.

Round 1: (3.0 mm) 3 sc in each top hole, once at the last hole ch 3 or 4 and continue with 3 sc in each top hole, once at last hole ch 3 or 4 sl st to first sc.

Round 2: Ch 2, 1 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc in sl st, hdc in next corner, 2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next 3 or 4 st’s, 2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next corner, 2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next 3 or 4 st’s, sl st to top of ch 2. Sew zipper onto bag
