To Make the Handle
1. At the top of the first cluster of double crochet stitches from the side, make 2 single crochet stitches. (See picture, [page 118].)
2. Make 1 chain stitch to use in turning.
3. Make 2 single crochet stitches.
4. Continue directions Nos. 1 and 2 until handle is 2½ inches long. Fasten the end of handle into the top of the first cluster of double crochet stitches from the other side of the bag, using slip stitch.
5. Make another handle on opposite side of bag in same way.
Note.—In fastening ends of threads, be sure to pull the last stitch very tight before cutting off the ends.
When Mary Frances had finished making the little bag, she hung it on the dolly’s arm.
“Doe to tool! Doe to tool, now!” cried Mary Marie.
