MONEY BAG

This is a request from a co-worker.  Fortunately, I had made a drawstring bag for a customer on mine of Etsy that was used as the body of Trubbish from the Pokemon game.  The bag can be made in any combination of colors.  This one was made in taupe and seafoam green as a request from my co-worker.  I have given two options for the cord for the Money Bag.  I used option #2 since I could not find taupe colored paracord where I live.

MATERIALS:
Worsted Weight Yarn:  Taupe and seafoam green.
E crochet hook
Tapestry needle
Optional: Taupe paracord
