ch 1, turn.
Row 2: Sc in top of last dc; *ch 2, holding last loop of
each st on hook, dc in each dc, yo &
pull yarn through all loops on hook (reversed shell made); ch 2,
sc in next dc; repeat from * across to last shell; reverse shell as before,

Finishing:
At the end of the last row, DO NOT TURN.
Fold piece so that wrong sides are together an sc
evenly around edge.
Drawstring:
Using the bag as a guide, make a chain of desired length.
Using your crochet hook (needles might split the yarn) &
starting at the base of row 15, on the seam-side of piece
from the outside, weave chain through the bases of the
upright shells. Tie ends together.
Designer's Note:This pattern can be modified to do a lot
of other things too. If you do modify it in some way, email me the
changes & a picture of it. I will be adding a page for these
as soon as I get enough to put up.
