- Cut 12 – 7″ pieces of t-shirt yarn (I used color A).
- Using pieces of t-shirt yarn, tie rope handle to the bag (one on front, one on back) as shown. — I tied to rows 6, 13, and 23 approximately 3.5″ in from the edge when bag is laid flat.
- Feel free to add a fabric lining to this bag! Check out my tutorial HERE.
- Hide all tails.
And that’s how you make the Double Waves Beach Bag!
Happy Crocheting!
