I was able to follow the pattern for this bag up to a certain point. Once I got to the color chart, it was difficult to follow. I ended up just crocheting the first round in the color chart for the entire bag. Also in round 56 after the eyelet round, I did 3 sc in the ch-3 spaces and then sc to the next eyelet. The book says sc in the next 11 sts. I had more than 11 stitches to the next eyelet. I did my own thing and it still came out okay.
