Worked various stitches from small to big around the oval so little things won’t fall out the bottom of the bag.

Used the thermal stitch for nice, strong, non-stretchy handles. Did the angled decrease side by not chaining when turning and then starting in the 2nd stitch.
Inspired by the handles on Double Knit Bag with I-Cord Connection Strap, I used Thalenta’s crocheted Icord video to make my loops.

Notes for next time:

• went up to the 56 st round on the doily pattern

• should’ve done more little sts rounds for the bottom

• 5 chain loops are verrry stretchy

• made approx 10 to 12, 5 chain loop rounds

• when filled with big, heavy stuff the adjustable handles just slid to their longest and the bag stretched from my comfortable hand carrying height all the way to the ground.

• 3 stitch wide thermal stitch stretches to almost uncomfortable skinnyness for carrying when loaded with lots of weight
