• Row 2 and Beyond:
  • Continue using the same stitch for the borders (back loop single crochets).
  • Repeat the body’s net stitch.
  • Alternate between borders and body for each row.

3. Color Changing Pattern

• Join the two colors, and continue alternating rows for 30 rows total in the sequence: pink → turquoise → white.

4. Adding the Hems

• Two Hems for the Borders:

  • Create a “hem” with 3 rows of single crochet stitches.
  • Repeat the same for the second border.

5. Adding the Hem for the Sides and Straps

• Side Borders:
  • Begin with turquoise yarn, creating a hem of 3 rows of single crochet stitches.
• Straps:
  • Chain 70 for the first strap, ensuring it is aligned correctly on one side.
  • Repeat for the second strap on the other side.

6. Finishing the Bag

• Work additional rows to secure the sides, straps, borders, and body of the bag.
• Complete with 4 rows of edging.
• Hide all excess yarn after completing Row 4 of the hem and the final strap.
