Ch 3

Row 1: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, yarn over and draw up a loop, insert hook into next ch, yarn over and draw up a second loop. There should be 3 loops on the hook.

Row 2: Drop 2 loops from the hook and hold them at the base with your thumb so they don’t come undone. Yarn over and draw up a loop through the remaining loop on the hook. Insert hook into the first dropped loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Insert hook into the next dropped loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. There should be 3 loops on the hook.

Row 3-?: Repeat Row 2 until your i-chord reaches 5 x the height of your bag.
For me that was 30 inches (76 cm) because my bag, made in worsted weight cotton, measures 6 inches (15cm) tall. I worked to Row 98 to reach this length.

To end the i-cord, yarn over and draw yarn through all three loops on hook. Cut a short tail and weave in both ends of the i-cord.

Insert the i-cord into the hole (photo 1) from the front. Thread through the hole to the left (photo 2).
Continue threading through the holes in this manner.
Pull both ends of the drawstring to close the bell bag and tie it in a neat little bow!
