Beach bag madness

Okay here is that beach bag that I promised. Just for a reminder I ran out of the gray yarn when, so I kinda of switched the colors to improvise the project (that's why there isn't two gray stripes at the top). To my surprise it actually came out not that bad. For those who don't know what the symbol means its stand for the rap group Kottonmouth Kings.  However, the pattern that I am posting WILL NOT have the symbol that's on the bag. It will just be a plain beach bag and will most likely be smaller because i revised the pattern to not make it so big and long. The
reason being is that I haven't figured out how to put the chart pattern onto my blog, but until that day I figure out how to do, I'll be making a lot more blog post and more projects to come. FYI the pattern is for 2 colors, and that doesn't mean it has to be green and gray the bag can be two different colors of your choice. Well here is the patterns.
