Assembly
You are going to start attaching the squares together so you have 4 squares on one side of the bag and 4 squares on the other. You will also whip stitch along all of the edges leaving the opening at the top.
Strap (make as short or as long as you want. I made mine fairly long)
With pink - ch 90
Row 1: 1 dc in the 3rd ch from the hook and in each ch across. Ch 3, turn.
Row 2: 1 dc in the first st and each st across.
Finish off, weave in ends.
Place the strap in desired position on each side of the bag and sew in place.
Now you are going to add a border of sc along each side of the bag and all along the strap. So attach your pink yarn in any stitch and ch 1, then sc evenly around. Repeat on other side.
Doing this provides a more finished look and also keep the strap from stretching out too much.
Add lining if desired.
