| The jingle bells are pre-strung onto the yarn and crocheted directly into the project. |
The bag is crocheted, with the triangles crocheted separately then crocheted directly onto the bag.
To make this gift bag, just keep scrolling down to view the pattern information and instructions. Each set of instructions includes a photo illustration slideshow taking you step-by-step to through the entire pattern. And if you'd rather not sit in front of a screen while you're crocheting just scroll all the way to the bottom of the post where you will find a PDF downloadable/printable set of instructions. I offer a PDF where the pattern is given entirely with photos, or choose the PDF that is a written version only of the pattern.
