PROJECT DETAILS
Skill level: intermediate.
Approximate bag size: 35 × 35 cm (14 × 14 in), excluding handles, when the stated gauge is met.
Suggested handle length: approximately 56 cm (22 in) before attachment, with an approximate 24–25 cm drop after securing the ends.
Gauge: 16 single crochet stitches × 18 rows = 10 × 10 cm in blocked tapestry crochet.
Construction: two flat panels joined at the sides and bottom, with two handles added separately.

MATERIALS
Medium/worsted or light Aran-weight cotton or cotton-blend yarn in white and red. Suggested allowance: white 550–700 m and red 120–180 m. Use a 4.5–5 mm hook or the size needed to meet gauge, plus scissors, a yarn needle, stitch markers, and measuring tape. Yarn bobbins and fabric lining supplies are optional.

CONSTRUCTION AND YARN NOTES
As explained in the PDF, the yarn weight, hook size, yardage, back panel, handles, lining, and assembly are suggested construction assumptions added to the supplied front-panel chart. Actual requirements depend on yarn, tension, color-carrying method, and modifications. Finished size depends on gauge.
