Break yarn, with yarn tail through rem sts, draw up together. Knit (or use I-Cord knitting machine) two I-cords, in length about 1.2 m each. Don't bind off, place sts on waste yarn. Beginning stitches of l-cord should be placed on waste yarn too. Actually the length is required less (the cord part then should be dismissed), but shorter cord will be very heavy for fastening in knot. Now it is necessary to tie one Chinese knot on each cord. I do it before knitting of leaves, that it was possible to adjust length of free tails having dismissed superfluous from a cord. The knot has the name 《Good Luck Knot). Please use Google (or YouTube videos) to learn how to tie a Good Luck Knot. Pass a cords through the holes on the bag, each line in 2 adjacent holes (see photo).
