Row 2) 100 sc, ch 1, turn

Sew the strap to the bag using the yarn needle. I sewed mine so it lined up with the bottom of the single crochet rounds. I placed mine in the middle of the bag so I can place it over my arm when crocheting standing up.
Lid (top):
I used the grey yarn as a contract for the lid.
Round 1) Ch 12, ss to join

Round 18) sc around (96)
Round 18) sc around, 2 ss, finish (leave enough yarn to sew the top to the body of the bag)
You can carry on the increase rounds if you want the lid to be on the outside of the bag.
Lid middle:
Round 1) Ch 12, ss join
Round 2 - 5) Ch 2, 12 hdc, ss join
Round 6) Ch 2, 6 hdc dec, ss join
Round 7) Ch 2, 3 hdc dec, ss join, finish leaving enough yarn to sew to lid.
Sew the middle to the middle of the lid. You now have space for a hook to stick up and stay in place.
Now sew your lid to your bag. I sewed mine so that the lid was on the inside of my yarn bag. This way I wouldn't need to have buttons for fastening etc.
