Sides:
Continue to sc crochet (in the round) your piece until side measures 5 inches from
marker (or desired depth). Before fastening off, I usually slip stitch for 2 -3
stitches to make the edge a little smoother. Fasten off.
Side Pleats: (See photos)
Lay lower portion of the bag on a flat
surface and fold short ends up like
Photo A above. With short edge facing
you, fold each side of the top edge in
toward the center to make 2 pleats.
(see Photo B) Pin in place. Repeat for
opposite end. Starting at pleat, attach
yarn and sc through all layers of the
pleat and evenly around the top edge
of the bag. (72 sc). Chain 1, sc around 1
more row. Do Not fasten off.
