Hi to all. The pattern instructions have me completely lost. It states: Rows 43-68, rnd 69 handle set up. k15, purl 30, slip the next 30 stiches to a holder, turn work around and cast off 30, k1, p26, k32, turn, cast off 30, remove the marker as you come to it. Does this make sense to anyone. Thanks in advance for your help in this.
You’re going to be working on one strap or handle at a time. Starting at the beginning of round marker, follow the directions to k15, purl 30 then slip the next 30 stiches to a holder. Don’t knit these 30sts, just slip them to a holder.
Turn your knitting as you would at the end of a row and work back toward the beg of round marker. Cast off 30, k1, p26, k32. You’ll be knitting past the marker so remove it as you work past it.
Turn again to the outside of the bag and continue with the cast off 30.
You should end up with about 30sts on the needles and 30sts on hold (these are the handles) with gaps of 30 cast off sts between the handles.
