Instructions

Bottom

Make 22 chain stitches + 1 chain stitch increase and work with the main pattern in straight and reversed directions to 24 cm height. Make the 2^nd detail in the same way. To make the bottom holeproof, fold the details and connect them by means of fastening in the following way: 22 single crochets along short sides and 30 single crochets along the lengthwise side = 104 single crochets.

Then, continue work with circle rows on these 104 stitches of the main pattern to 25 cm height from the bottom. In the next circle row, work in the following way for the handle self-belt: *10 single crochets, 3 chain stitches, skip 3 stitches*; repeat from * to *. Then, work again on all 104 stitches as you did before the self-belt. At 30 cm from the bottom, make the last circle row and finish your work with a slip stitch.

Handle

Make 7 chain stitches with brown yarn and circle them in the ring with the help of 1 slip stitch. Make 7 single crochets in the ring, then, work with the main pattern in circle rows on 7 single crochets to 2 cm length. Draw the handle through the self-belt twice, and make a knot on the ends.
