Cut Rope
Cut nylon rope in half, making 2 pieces approximately 27 inches long each. Set aside.
Handles (make 2)
With C, ch 6, leaving a long starting tail.
Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (5 hdc)
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, hdc in each st across. Repeat row 2 until work measures 32 inches long. Fasten off.
Lay 1 piece of rope in center of handle, so that handle extends approximately 2.5 inches past rope on each end.
Using a separate piece of yarn for sewing, fold edges of handle around rope and sew together into a tube, only where it covers the rope. Leave the extra 2.5 inches unseamed at each end. This creates a flat tab at each end that will be used to attach the handle to the bag.
Finishing
Lay bag flat with RS out.
Place one handle on top of the bag so that it is centered horizontally and the flat tabs overlap the top of the bag. Use the long tails to sew each flat tab in place.
Turn bag over and repeat for the other handle, lining it up with the first handle. Weave in all ends.
