Work 8 rows of Loop St (that is repeating the 4 rows of Loop St twice)
Drop the Fizz and continue in St st with Deco-Ribbon for 4
inches or as desired for height of bag.

With a large eyed tapestry needle sew the 2 sides of the bag on
the inside (note that the purl side of st st on the bottom is the outside of the
bag)
I made a single twisted Deco-Ribbon handle for this little bag.
If you prefer, crochet a handle, make I-cord handle or simply braid 3 strands of
Deco-Ribbon.
Sew handle in place.
