MOUTH

• Attach yarn below the eye and using Surface Stitch, make the smile. 

HANDLE

Find the two stitches on the center of either sides (on the last SC round of the bag) and place stitch markers. 

• Starting with left side, attach the yarn, Ch 1, 1 HDC in the same stitch as chain, 1 HDC in the next stitch. [2 HDC]
• Ch1. Turn. 1 HDC in same stitch as chain, 1 HDC in the next stitch. [2 HDC]
• Repeat the previous round depending on the required sling length.
• Slip stitch these two HDC stitches on the right side of the bag (onto 2 SC sticthes - where you have placed the marker)

You can add lining with magnetic closure or zipper (or) you can place add a chain to the bag and add a button to the front for closing (as I have done here). This is such an easy pattern and you can gift this to any kid and they sure will love it.
