PATTERN NOTES
This bag is constructed in pieces, then seamed. First, two identical Mosaic Panels are created, then two identical Side Panels are made. The Mosaic Panels are seamed at the bottom, then the Side Panels are seamed per side. Lastly, two identical Straps are made and attached to the top of the bag.

You will be changing colors every row during the Mosaic Panels. You will always attach the new color to the first st of the row before beginning the row instructions. Instructions will simply say “With MC” or “With CC” but will not instruct on the attachment placement each time.
