for the bag
Hook size: T-shirt yarn: 8.0 mm.

• Colors: There are no color codes for the yarn I used for the base of the bag. You will need yellow for the bottom and a light blue shade for the upper side of the bag. You can use whatever yarn you like.
• T-shirt yarn: I used “Hoooked Zpagetti Solid” T-shirt yarn (700 g, 120 m) from www.hoookedyarn.com.
• Cotton/thin yarn: You can also use multiple strands of a different type of yarn. When using Size 3 yarn, use 5-7 strands to achieve the same size as 1 strand T-shirt yarn.
• Stitch markers: Optional but helpful for keeping track of rounds.
• Yarn needle: For weaving in ends.
• Scissors: For cutting yarn.
• Optional: Lining fabric (to strengthen the bag), magnetic closure, or a zipper
