This is my own design, one of our friend's 80th b'day tomorrow. As the wife appreciates handwork, by seeing it, she'll know that it is only me who has given it ! I always like my gift to be unique.
I think I made a ch. of 25,in the 2nd chain made sc, then sc till the last sc, made 3 sc in the last one, then continue doing sc on the other side, ending with 2 sc in the last one, join
2 Row- 2 sc, sc till the corner, make 3 sc, continue with sc till the end, join to 1st sc
3rd Row, do sc only in the back loop for this row
4 Row, sc all around in both loops till the size you want.
Then for folding, I made sl st over 5 sc, then sc, leaving the last 5 sc then made sc in each sc till the desired length, in the last row counted the stitches, then sc I think for 5, then made a loop of 3/4 ch for the button, then sc in the remaining st.
Hope the pattern is clear, in case of any doubt, pl. free to msg. In case you want a bigger bag, continue to make bigger chain the desired length, then continue in the same way, for a bigger bag, for base, do sc around for 4 rows, then sc on the backloop for 1 row, then sc continue like above.
