Bottle Bag Strap

Ch1, hdc in same st and next 3 stitches. Ch1 and turn
Row 23
Hdc across (4stitches) Ch1 and turn
Row 24
Repeat row 23 until strap is the length you like – I did 150 plus 1 more row so the crochet hook was on the correct side to sc it to the top of the bag.
Place the strap opposite the beginning strap, right sides together to the top of the bag and sc through each st to attach.
Weave in ends.
You can add extra strength to the join by weaving in ends between the strap and the bag.

Hi! I am in the U.S. Can you recommend a substitute yarn that I can get here?
Hi Nancy. Thanks for looking around my site!! Premier Yarns Hipster Cotton looks like a perfect match to the Abbey Road Freedom. It may even be the same yarn it looks so similar. Any other dk weight cotton or cotton/acrylic blend yarn would work too. As long as it has at least 50% cotton I think. Hope this helps 😊

I really like this project and I was wondering how much yarn do you remember using for this? I don’t see any amounts specific for this pattern.
Thanks!!
Hi Stephanie,
I looked back at my notes and the bag weighs 42g using abbey road freedom yarn. So i’d say you would be safe with any 50g ball of dk weight yarn. You also may not want the strap as long as I had made mine.This seems to be a very popular pattern…enjoy!! 😊
