Instructions
Chain 17 + 1 turning chain and work the bottom in rounds following the stitch chart in the main pattern. In round 1, work into both sides of the chain and increase as shown on the chart.
After 9 rounds = end of chart, you will have 96 sts. Place a marker here.
Continue working in rounds in the main pattern, increasing again as described above every 9th round, twice more = 112 sts.
After 25 cm from the end of the chart (first marker), fold the bag in half and mark the right side edge (= side marker).
For the buttonhole, work the following round starting from the side marker: 23 sc, 10 sl st, 46 sc, 10 sl st, 23 sc. In the next round, skip the slip stitches, work 10 ch instead, then continue in the main pattern across all stitches.
Finish the work after 30 cm from the end of the chart.
Finishing
Sew the button in the center, 7 cm below the buttonhole.
