    If you would like to reinforce the straps follow the instructions below:

    Round 1: With bag lying flat, begin at the point where the right strap meets the body of the
    bag and pick up each stitch along the opening of the bag. Continue picking up the stitches all
    around the strap at a rate of 3 sts per 4 rows, then 4sts per 5 rows (i.e. pick up 3, skip a row,
    pick up 4, skip a row, pick up 3 skip a row, pick up 4 stitches, skip a row, etc.).

    Round 2: bind off all stitches.

    Turn the bag over and repeat the instructions for the other side.

    Weave in ends and steam block.
