  1. I’m confused by the instructions on how to do the edging. Am I to work 1dc into the end of each row down the left side, that seem to bunch up the work?

    Please help? I’m new.

    1. Hello Emily,
      Yes you work 1 row of dc evenly … here are the instructions….
      Work 1 row of dc evenly down the left side edge, round the lower edge, and up the right side edge, to the top of the bag, working 2 dc into the end of each of the 2 rows (the corners).
      You need to work 2 dc into the corner turns so that it lays flat.
      I hope that helps,
      Louise

  2. I love the pattern! But I’m working on the edging and I just wanted to clarify: when I’m done with the edging there should be one row of double crochet across the top, but four rows of double crochet along the sides and bottom. Is that correct?

    1. Hello Jacob,
      Yes, you are correct, there are more rows of double crochet on the bottom edge of the bag and one row along the top edge of the bag – as you can see in the photos.
      Happy crocheting!
      Louise
