Reinsert your hook back into Row 1, using Medium Teal Yarn to repeat the process.
Creating the strap holes back at Row 1

You may block your piece at this step as well as weave in your ends utilizing your yarn sewing needle.
You will lay your fabric in the middle of the piece leaving 2 inches or so of space before applying fabric glue surround the fabric unto the crocchet piece.
Next, with your yarn sewing needle a 2 long strands of yarn, fold the piece, horizontally and inside out with the fabric facing you, you will begin to sew the edges of the piece together, securing the sides in place to become a tote.
HAPPY CRAFTING!
