STRAP:
Note:

How to crochet a dc foundation row: Ch 3, insert hook in third chain from hook, draw up a loop, chain 1 to make the base chain, yarn over, pull through 2 loops twice to complete the dc. Then insert hook into the chain 1 just made to make the next stitch.
Round 1: With G hook and green yarn, leaving a 12 inch tail for sewing to bag, crochet a dc foundation row 50 sts long. Ch 1, DO NOT turn.

Round 2: Rvsc around, working 2 rvsc in the ends. DO NOT join, you will get a nearly invisible join if you fasten off leaving a 12 inch tail, and use your yarn needle to join.

FINISHING:
Sew strap to sides about 1-2 inches down from top of opposite valleys. Whip stitch the openings in the bottom of bag closed.

ABBREVIATIONS:

Sc = single crochet
Dc = double crochet

I just sent my Niece in Australia 2 Easter Bags, but I would have rathered send her one of these!
 
My girlfriend was visiting out here in WA from PA and she brought with her her new passion. Felted bags. I fell in love with them, ran out and started right away with a kit. Have not been able to find any patterns or pattern books yet so got online and ran into your site. It is a real gold mine. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and patterns.
