Lay down the squares in the way they have to be joined.

Join them by the way I have which is the Flat Slip Stitch Seam. You can find the detailed tutorial on it on my channel here

Strap:

In Blue:

We will have two straps. Join the yarn in one of the two corners on the top.

Ch85 (or as long as you want the strap to be).

Join with a sl st on the other corner of the same side of the bag.

Ch1

R1(on one side of the bag): hdc into every stitch on the granny square including the ch1- sp, corners and one in the joining point of the squares. Once you have covered the whole side of the square, you’ll reach the place where it is turning.

After making the hdc in the corner of the square you were working in, make an hdc in any space next to it, another hdc in the joining point of the two squares, and another hdc in any place before the corner of the next square.

You’ll have 3hdc before working in the next corner.

Continue working hdc into the side of the next square till you reach the corner.

Ch85 (or whatever you had made for the first strap)

Join with a sl st on the other corner of the same side of the bag.

Ch1

R1(on the other side of the bag): hdc into every stitch on the granny square including the ch1- sp, corners and one in the joining point of the squares. Once you have covered the whole side of the square, you’ll reach the place where it is turning.

After making the hdc in the corner of the square you were working in, make an hdc in any space next to it, another hdc in the joining point of the two squares, and another hdc in any place before the corner of the next square.

Continue working hdc into the side of the next square till you reach the corner.

R1(on the strap): hdc into every ch on the strap (preferably in the back bump), sl st on top of the first hdc - (85 hdc)

Fasten off.

Turn the bag and join the yarn in the corner of the strap and hdc into every ch as you did for the previous strap, sl st to first hdc - (85 hdc)

**

R2(on the inner side of the bag):

Join the yarn in the corner where the strap is towards the inner side and hdc into the corner and every st on the granny square.

After making the hdc in the corner of the square you were working in, make an hdc in any space next to it, another hdc in the joining point of the two squares, and another hdc in any place before the corner of the next square.

You’ll have 3hdc before working in the next corner.

Continue working hdc into the side of the next square till you reach the corner, hdc into corner.

R2(on the inner side of the strap):

hdc into every st on the strap, i.e., the other side of the hdc from R1, sl st to the top of the first st - (85 hdc)

Repeat the same on the other strap as well from **

Fasten off. Weave in the ends.

And you’re done!
