Row 25;Slip stitch in each stitch end. The construction of this bag is like a sandwich baggie.This might help you "see" how it goes together...Fold the bag with the first flap to the inside, along the edge of row 5.( this will be the outside of the bag when you are done)Sew the bag together catching all 3 layers at the top.Weave in ends and you are done. This bag couldbe made any size you want............................................................................
For the tea bag in the picture........Begin with 12 stitches. Make the flaps with the same amout of rows, and decrease the same as for the smaller bag, but work 28 rows for the body of the bag. For the tag I chained 6 so I would be crocheting 5 stitches for 3 rows. I thensingle crocheted around the edge. Make 2 of these.After "writing" tea on the front I slipped stitched the 2 pieces together.End off................
