class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 single crochet in each chain across<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should now have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>20 single crochet

small chain loop on the flap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes the bag look cute and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 8: Finish the Bag<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Cut the yarn and pull through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a yarn needle to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hide loose yarn ends
