• Assembly

Count 20 stitches from the top center of the heart towards the left and right (center stitch included) and put a stitch marker in the 20th st on each side.

Starting from one side of the heart, insert your hook in the back loop of the 20th stitch and then into the front loop of the edge stitch of the handle. Grab a new piece of yarn and pull it through the loops.

Ch1 and sl st all around the heart to connect the handle to the heart. You will sl st from one stitch market to the other. Once you reach the end, cut the yarn, and finish off.

Repeat the same thing for the second side of the bag

Attach the two ends of the handle together using a needle and a piece of red yarn by going through the stitches on both sides.

Aaaaaand you’re done!
