TRIPLE FLAP BAG (C)







MATERIALS:
Worsted weight feltable yarn, approximately 7 ounces main color, 1 ounce of contrasting color
K and J hooks
3 Zinc Fender Washers 1.5 inch diameter with ½ inch hole

INSTRUCTIONS:
With main color, ch 44


GAUGE:
Unimportant, but bag should be worked loosely.


ROUND 1: Make 2 sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in each chain (41) to last chain. Work over yarn tail for remainder of this round. 3 sc in last ch. Work in the unused loops on opposite side of starting chain, sc in each chain. (42 stitches) Join with slip stitch in top of first sc. [88 sc]

ROUNDS 2-28: Ch 2 (this counts as turning ch and not the first stitch), hdc in each st around. [88 hdc]

Fasten off.

WEIGHTED FLAP:

Make 3

With J Crochet hook

ROUND 1: 30 sc in fender washer, slip stitch to join, ch 1 do not turn. This is the right side. Single crochets should be very crowded, this is so that when it is felted it will completely cover the fender washer.

ROW 1: Dc in 1 sc, hdc in 3 sc, sc in 3 sc, hdc in 3 sc, dc in 2 sc. Ch 2, turn.

ROW 2-10: Dc in each st. Ch 2, turn.


JOIN STRIPS: Holding two strips with wrong sides together, sc in 25 sts. Leaving the rounded end unworked. Repeat with third strip.

Fasten off leaving at least 12” tail for sewing flap to bag.


Lay bag flat and center flap on one side. Sew flap to bag.


Fasten off. Weave in ends.


STRAP:

ROW 1: Sc in same st as the beginning st of flap, sc in next 4 sts. Ch 1, turn. (5 sc)

ROWS 2-60: Sc in each st. Ch 1, turn. [20 inches]

Repeat on other side. Sew strap ends together.
