THIS is the bag. I'll have to email you pictures of mine. She crocheted the handles too. Didn't use tubing.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>AngelaAngela :o)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17130229349606669348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042567.post-43053171978855882042007-04-25T22:27:00.000-07:002007-04-25T22:27:00.000-07:00Susan, the way I start is with 17 chains.

You will increase by one stitch on every row before the 2hdc and after the 2hdc. The 5hdc in the middle remain constant. Therefore, row 3 will be: 6hdc, 2hdc in next st, 5hdc, 2hdc in next st, 6hdc and so on. If you can read a crochet diagram, go to this blog: http://feiticeiradasagulhas.blogspot.com/<BR/>She has a diagram for making the body of this bag. I had to figure out how to do the handle part but it wasn't hard.MikKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733921910852483627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042567.post-39597762352096807322007-04-24T09:50:00.000-07:002007-04-24T09:50:00.000-07:00I checked out the spanish you tube link that you p...I checked out the spanish you tube link that you posted and i think I understand the concept much better... the only part that stumps me is the number of starting chain stitches! I have no spanish and as far as I get with numbers is cinqo, or cinq in french which i assume is the same.<BR/><BR/>I started and frogged my version a few times, now I am hoping to get restarted today!Susan J Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706646375716992138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042567.post-4801819447244080942007-04-21T17:49:00.000-07:002007-04-21T17:49:00.000-07:00Oh I LOVE that one, Michelle!!
