Add a direct eyelet circuit to an existing open cylinder
This drawstring study starts with the same four-growth, twelve-even-round cylinder used by the round-base tote. Its sixty base sc and 288 wall sc total 348. One eyelet circuit adds eight sc and twenty-four decorative chains. A separate seventy-two-chain cord returns with seventy-one slip stitches. Main outputs total 427, with the eyelet chains recorded separately.
Keep crochet pieces distinct from source panels
The cylinder and drawcord are two separately crocheted pieces. The eyelet circuit is a third source panel but is worked directly into the cylinder's existing final rim. It is not a detached ring made from an invented new foundation and sewn on afterward. Its receiving anchors refer to the actual twenty-four rim stitches.
Make eight openings without closing the mouth
Join the eyelet yarn at the marked rim start with an excluded routine slip stitch. Chain one without counting it. Repeat sc in the next old stitch, chain three and skip two old stitches eight times, then make the excluded routine join to the first new sc. Eight groups consume all twenty-four old tops. The eight new sc and eight chain-three spaces form a continuous open rim.
Thread the soft cord through every space
For the cord, skip the chain nearest the hook and return with seventy-one slip stitches. Thread it through all eight chain-three spaces in order, alternating inside and outside. Bring both ends out at the starting gap and tie them together. Check sliding, real length and cord thickness before use. The chain budget cannot guarantee physical clearance or make an overly thick cord slide through a tight eyelet.
Is the eight-reference finishing step another round?
No. It counts threading references after the eyelet SC have already been worked.
Can I select any short cord?
The supported numeric starting budget must be at least twice the rim count. The actual closure still needs a physical fit check.
Exact settings, stitch key and full original route
Open the Crochet Bag Panel Generator and choose drawstring. Use width twenty-four, body rows twelve, gusset width five, strap rows thirty, flap rows six, base growth four, wall rounds twelve, motif frame setting two and bag cord foundation seventy-two. Enter measured SC gauges twenty stitches and twenty-four rows per ten centimeters. Inactive settings do not resize a fixed source. Download the complete original bag project JSON before making changes.
Use compatible yarn, a matching hook, removable part and corner markers, scissors and a tapestry needle. US sc means single crochet, dc double crochet, ch chain and sl st slip stitch; UK mode translates the stitch names without changing the source geometry or quantities. Follow the complete cluster and back-loop definitions where used. Component row counts describe one copy. Main crochet outputs, extra chains, sewing pairs, basting and threading references have different units. Review the gauge guide and chart-reading guide before comparing measurements and receiving edges.
The original SVG below shows the actual generated component charts and a linked assembly register. Written references supply the complete seam route. Stitch Preview draws corresponding loop schematics; neither view is a real photograph or proof of a physically tested bag. Wash and measure the actual fabrics, pin every seam, preserve the named opening and reinforce the stated attachments. Record real dimensions, yarn behavior and finishing alongside the saved JSON before deciding how the finished sample will be used.

Direct rim eyelet circuit (make 1), round 1: On the existing 24-sc final cylinder rim, join yarn at position 1 with an excluded routine slip stitch. Ch 1 (not counted).
