1. Pick 2 color (lighter and darker) of thick yarn (wool/cotton),
choose related hook's number.
2. Make the sample: 2 raws of ch with lighter yarn, 1 raw --
with darker.
3. Measure the sample, 10cmx10cm.
4. Choose width and height for your future AWESOME bag.
5. Count number of raws and ch to fit properly
according to measurements.
6. Divide bag's height on 3 parts: first two-thirds - for "body", last 1/3 - for handles.
7. Bag has 4 sides, every 2 of them have its own color map:
1st two sides: first- and second-thirds of bag's height made
with main pattern - *2 rows of ch (lighter color), then 1 row of ch (darker color)*,
repeat from * to * until you will get "body" tall. Then continue work, with the same pattern,
by reducing ch number,
through all the last third of height, to form handlers.
2nd two sides: 1/3 of height - darker yarn ONLY (raws of ch), second-third -- lighter yarn ONLY (raws of ch).
Leave 3 last raws of the "body" tall undone, and finish these 3 raws with darker yarn.
Then form handlers with reduced raws of lighter yarn.
8. Connect all sides, including handlers, with ch from inside, catching inner loops.
9. Chrochet inner sides of handlers with ch.
Bag is ready!
