1. Fasten off sage green, leaving a long tail for sewing the button.

A simple, sturdy blush strap to carry your bag comfortably on your shoulder.

• Row 2: sk, 100 sc [100]

5. WithMe signature heart

The same little heart sits on every WithMe original — our way of signing it with love. Use any contrast colour from the project.

• Round 1: 3 tr, 3 dc, ch, tr, ch, 3 dc, 3 tr in a magic ring [15] — Ch 3 first (it doesn't count as a stitch). After the last stitch, ch 3 and sl st into the ring, then pull the ring tight — the dip at the top of the heart forms as you pull.

1. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the heart in place.

Finishing

1. Weave in all loose ends securely.
2. Sew the wooden button to the front center of the dusty rose body, aligning it with the sage green flap.
3. Sew the ends of the blush strap to the left and right sides of the bag using a yarn needle and warm cream yarn for a subtle attachment.
4. Sew the standard WithMe signature heart in warm cream on the bottom right corner of the sage green flap.

Tips from the WithMe studio

• If your base begins to curl like a bowl, you may have pulled your stitches too tightly; try using a half-size larger hook for the base.
• Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round to keep your spiral perfectly aligned.
• Block the base piece lightly with steam if you want it to lay completely flat before starting the body.
