Bag Handle Straps

Pattern Note

There are rows in Round 31 for the handle straps. These are labeled as Handle Rows. You can repeat these rows until you reach your desired length of your handle straps. I liked my handle straps a little long. Whatever your desired length is, I recommend keeping the row length in multiples of two.

Round 31: CH 1 (does not count as SC), SC in the next 6 stitches. SC into the next six stitches. This will be your first Handle Row for your first handle strap.

Handle Row 2: CH 1, and turn your work. SC in the last 6 stitches. CH 1, and turn your work. (6 SC)

Handle Rows 3-84: Repeat Row 2. (6 SC) See Photo F. for a progress photo!

Once you have reach your desired length, skip twenty-one stitches from Round 30.

Afterwards

Align the last SC of the Handle Row 84 to the twenty-second stitch from Round 30.

Insert hook through both the last stitch of the Handle Row and through stitch twenty-two from Round 30.

Yarn over, and pull through both stitches. Yarn over and pull through both loops on hook. This is called a Joining SC. See Photo G.

Join SC in the next 5 stitches, making sure that the seam is facing inwards in the bags instead of outwards. The Joining SC should create a seamless look on the outside of your bag. See Photos H.-I.

Photo H. is what the Joining SC seam looks like on the inside of the bag.

Photo I. is what the Joining SC seam looks like on the outside of the bag.

Returning back to Round 31, SC in the next 12 stitches.

SC into the next six stitches. This will be your first Handle Row for your second handle strap.

Handle Row 2: CH 1, and turn your work. SC in the last 6 stitches. CH 1, and turn your work. (6 SC)

Handle Rows 3-84: Repeat Handle Row 2. (6 SC)

Once you have reach your desired length, skip twenty-one stitches from Round 30.

Join SC the strap to the bag in the next six stitches, making sure that the seam is facing inwards.

Finish Round 31 with 6 SC. SL ST into the CH 1 space.

Leave a 6” tail to weave in and cut off.

Finishing Touches

Cut a 24” strand of the yarn.
