Alternate Handle:

If using any other type of handle that is a “solid” piece, after Row 2 of the beginning of the pattern, simple complete aK1,P1 rib until ribbing measures 2”, ending with wrong side; start with pattern for the body of the bag, until reaching

the opposite end and complete a K1,P1 rib for 2”, ending the wrong side and purl the row; bind-off next row in purlstitch.
