Sew
Make two handles:
Crochet two identical handles according to the desired length and stitch pattern. For each handle, leave eight single crochet (sc) stitches at both the top and bottom edges unworked; these unworked stitches will later assist in correctly positioning the handle on the bag.
Join the handles:
Fold each handle in half lengthwise, taking care to align the middle sections of both pieces precisely. Securely join the two middle sections with slip stitches (sl st) along the central portion, forming a single, robust handle structure.
Attach handles to the bag:
Position the joined handles evenly across the bag opening, ensuring that both are centered and perfectly aligned. Sew the ends of the handles to the bag opening .applying firm pressure to guarantee long-lasting durability. Finally, double-check that both handles are identical in length and placement before fastening off all stitches.
