Handles

Single crochet.
Count for each handle 24 stitches on the top edge of the bag.
Count stitches and mark the 2 handles -24 stitches for one handle + in opposite the other 24 st for the second handle.Between handles has to be equal number of stitches space thats crocheting as normal sg cr.The 2 handles length are not equal one is longer.First marker has to be where starts the longer handle second marker has to be over 24 st where is joining with the rest of the bag.The third mark is for the second handle ,leave space between the 2 handle,4 mark is over 24 st and then leave the second space between handles
Start first round (sg cr) and when you rich at the first marker do no not join make a chain of 80cm  and jump to join over 24th st from the edge of the bag.
Here you create the gap for the longer handle then continue sg st as normal till the 3th marker.Here will be the gap for the shorter strap 24cm length skip 24 st and join the shorter strap and continue as normal sg cr till the round is finished.The shoulder strap can be as long as you want,but the one in picture has 80cm .
From the second rd decrease at the third marker one sg cr and the same for the 4th marker (for the shorter handle)From the third rd no decrease no increase.Total 6 rounds.
