Bag measures 9" wide x 7.5" high when empty

Materials:  2 - 50 gr balls Deco-Ribbon (color #102 used for this bag). Or use 3 balls for a bigger bag. The striped colors of Deco-Ribbon show up especially nicely in this stitch.

Needles: 16" circular Crystal Palace Bamboo Needle size 9, large-eye blunt tapestry needle for sewing,

Needles & Hook for making Cord Handle: 16" size 8 circular needle and a size H crochet hook (or you may want to make a cord using your own favorite method)

Gauge: 16 sts = 4 inches in seed stitch on size 9 needles.

Tip: Make the Handle Cord first and then use up all remaining Deco-Ribbon for the bag.

Cast on 81 sts using circular needles. Join into round (being careful not to twist the circle of stitches) and work in k1, p1 pattern stitch for 8 inches or until desired length (a bag longer than 8" will use a 3rd ball of Deco-Ribbon).
Note: working an odd number of stitches in a tube on circular needles will automatically form a seed stitch pattern.  Cast off loosely.

Seam Bottom of Bag: Press center 6.5" of tube together and sew together , then form a "T" at each end to form a rectangular flat bottom (see photo below) and diagram.

Above shows the bottom of the bag.
