After five rows, make 1 ch and cut the yarn with the matchstick.

Sides of Bag:

Mark 11 stitches from both left and right ends, leaving 27 stitches in the middle. Work only in the back loops.
Start with 27 sc in the back loops for one row, then continue with 27 sc back and forth for 11 rows. Make 1 ch and cut the yarn.
Attach white yarn: Make 27 sc back loops for one row, then 27 sc (straight into both loops) for rows 13 to 36. Make 1 ch, cut the white yarn.
Mirror the process for the opposite side of the bag with magenta yarn.

Completing the Body:
