Some day I will make another one… even better!   Until that day I will get lots of use out of this YARNTASTIC makeup bag! Have a happy hookin time!

Holders

Attach yarn into the second row, 8th stitch from the edge. Slip
stitch across 10 rows. ~~~Tip: You can make these slip stitches as
tight or loose as you will need them to be. I would recomend making a
variety of sizes for a variety of utensils… I didn't and I wish I would have- may go back and change it.

Repeat from other side so you have two slip stitch rows. And weave in ends.

chaining you will slip stitch 13 stitches from the right. Turn, Slip
stitch back across the chain. ~~~Hint: You may need to make this

    I love this! I do have one question though. When you say 2 strands, do you mean to say like, 2 different strand from 2 balls of yarn?
