Sock Monkey Bag

This was a gift for my cousin. She loves sock monkeys and I thought it would be cute to make her a sock monkey bag.

The directions are the same as the sock monkey ipod case form the previous post, just a little bit bigger. I did add arms to this to make the handle for the bag.

To make the arms, I made a long chain stitch and single crocheted till is was thick enough. but I found it more durable to only chain 6 or 7 how ever wide you want it and then single crochet till it is long enough. then switch colors and connect the arms together.

I also stitched the arms to the top of the hat to make the bag stay still and not flop around.

Also, on the bag, I made a flap that the pom pom hooks on so the bag will stay closed.
