          \n
        • Chain 31<\/strong> stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • This chain determines the width of your bag

          \n\n\n\n

          • Work 1 hdc in each chain<\/strong> across<\/li>\n\n\n\n

              Step 4: Repeat Rows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Repeat Row 2<\/strong> until your piece measures about 20\u201324 inches long<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                \ud83d\udc49 This long rectangle will be folded to form the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
