Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.
This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
I have made this
fantastic pineapple boho beach bag before, with the pattern from http://ambrosiascreations.blogspot.in/2014/06/pattern-pineapple-crochet-market-bag.html?m=1.
I am using the
same inspiration with a small tweak to get it a little smaller.

We will now
work our handles to finish off this cute little beach bag, without cutting
yarn. We will make two straps of about
30 ch. So mark four points where you
will attach the straps. The first point
is the starting one where we are presently – so place markers in 3 more
spaces. This is not an exact science..
it all depends on how you like the bag to look – so go a bit crazy, and
create..
Right then.. I
worked about 30 ch and then sl-st in the 1st (of the 3)
markers.
Now either you fasten off at
this point and weave in ends, or you sl-st all the way to the next
marker and work 30 ch which you will then join to the last marker.
If you have
chosen to fasten off, then re-attach your yarn at the next marker, work 30 ch
and join to the last marker.
Fasten off and
weave in all ends.
Place all of
Barbie doll’s beach stuff in this bag and take her to the beach in her bikini,
won’t you?
Hope you too
have a fun day at the beach.
