I just learned how to crochet. This is the very first "project" other than like a simple blanket or scarf. It turned out great. This video was do helpful and easy to follow. Thank you so much
This is the first crochet bag I made and I’d consider myself a ✨seasoned✨ beginner. It came out great and I made it over 1 week of working on it little by little 😊
This is perfect! I've been looking for just the right tutorial and this is it. Most are very holey and the holes in this bag seem to be smaller, so thank you for that. I cannot wait to make a few of these for when I go to the store or our local outside market.
omgg i’ve never crotcheted anything in my life before this, and it actually came out so cute!!! doesn’t look like yours at all but i’m still so proud of myself. thank you!!!
This was my first crochet project over a year ago and I’ve advanced to pretty complicated patterns, but I find this bag so useful, I’ve come back here to make two more. Thank you for helping introduce me to a wonderful craft and for providing such clear instructions on a very functional item.
I'm a beginner and this is my first project. I finished it a while ago and it turned out really good, thanks for making this tutorial, you're really good at explaining, love it!
I just made this bag within three days and it turned out great! Super cute and easy to make. Only problem is that the bag doesn’t hold that much weight, and I’m afraid it will stretch out if I use it too regularly with too much weight.
I used cotton, stretched out a ton when I put books in it. Surely if I add veggies or anything with weight, it will stretch. Not sure how to use it now.
Making this for mother's day. My mom loves the environment(aka hates one use plastic bags which rip easy) and gardening and I knew she'd enjoy this adorable bag. Useful for carrying freshly picked veggies or just everyday items. Super easy and quick to make. 10/10 recommend. Wish me luck that she loves it!!
I hope your mom loved the market bag. If you’re looking for another functional gift to crochet for her, the grocery bag holders are excellent for storing the plastic bags we do acquire, to be reused later.
This is fantastic, easy to follow, easy to see, well truncated, and the presenter has a delightful voice. I am making dozens of these out of cotton. The long handles are great and i will NEVER worry about them breaking! I think i can make one of these in just a few hours! Thank you so much, Mei! Best of luck!
I found some exquisite Lion Brand yarn at my local dollar tree. It is super fine weighted and I've been at a loss of what to make. I will be using it to make this tote bag. It will make a beautiful accessory for summer beach season. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
I loved this so much! This was my first "big" project and it came out soooo good! Easy to follow video and now I am going to make bags for my sisters for their birthday!
Hi, im working on my bag right now, and i just wanted to say that this tutorial is very good, very easy to understand, AND i actually learned how to half double crochet qith this tutorial, very nice!
This is a great tutorial! I made mine a littleeee smaller (ended up only needing 50 chains for the handles) and it took ~10 hours! This is my first bigger project besides some little shirts and coasters. So happy with it!!
I’m going to learn to crochet to make a crochet bag for my friend who loves to crochet to put her crochet stuff in ❤️ I’m so excited to give it to her since last year I kinda bombed with her bday present… I’m using this to learn how to crochet! Also, i blinked and you had a full bag lol
I JUST FINISHED AND IT LOOKS SO GOOD! VERY EASY!! THE ONLY EXPERIENCE I HAVE IS BASIC KNITTING (like a square) AND CROCHET A CIRCLE BEFORE AS PRACTICE!! I did make some mistakes but don't worry the imperfection makes the bag even more special :)
I have been searching for hours looking for a cotton yarn bag!!!! This one is perfect!!!!! My favorite stitch!!!! My winter project for Christmas gifts next year. I cannot thank you enough!!! Hugs😢
Beautiful pattern. Simple and pretty. Thankyou for the lovely clear explanation. I love your stitch markers. I never thought about using Bobbi pins. Thankyou
Such a great project! I am a total beginner. This was my first time crocheting, and this project was perfect! Super easy to follow with your directions and video- thank you!! Also gave me a chance to get comfortable with the hook. So happy with how it turned out!! Thanks for the great video :)
Hi! I just watched your crochet tote bag tutorial and I love the how it looks, and you were so easy to understand and it was just the right amount length of teaching too! I really enjoyed learning how to do this pattern from you. I have a ball of cream cotton mix yarn ready to start the project right now!! Lol TYSMFS!! Will be subscribing and can’t wait to check out some more of your patterns!! Thanks, take care! 💛🧶👜😁👍👍
Hey, I'm new to crochet, but ibe been into fiber arts for a while so I know quite a bit about yarn. Is there anythingbspevific you'd like to know or do you want me to just give you an overview?
Helloo, Im planning to make a crochet bag for a school project. Am wondering how many grams of yarn she used to make the grey bag? Quite confused since she showed only the details of the pink yarn at the start and hoping to make sure so I dont buy the wrong items haha. Thanks!
@@HiJuliaSpeaking It is I "heart" Yarn 8/4 cotton from Hobbii. She is using at least 2 skeins since it is doubled. She does not say how she used because you can make it the size you want. Never having used this Yarn from Hobbii I can not say for sure but 4 to 6 skeins, only because it us doubled.
mine just keeps building a square, the edges dont come up like a bag as in the video,,, any tips? ive been half-double crocheting all the way around for a lot of rows now.
Probably made a mistake in row 7 when you begin to go all the way around. Watch her video again. Pay attention to the turns. She skips the first row at each corner. Good luck!
Hi! At the start, did you unravel the entire ball of yarn to have 2 ends or did you cut off a bit. I'm a complete beginner and it didn't show what she did.
Hi. @@libbyb4067 No i didn’t unravel the yarn. I use “magic loop” to connect the yarns. This can be done when you’ve almost finish the first ball of yarn.
I don’t have the yarn to be able to do this yet, but I definitely want to try it! I tore my ACL and taught myself how to crochet so I have something to do/make. I only know the single crochet so I gotta practice the half double crochet but I definitely hope to try this soon in the future!! Very good tutorial and explanation! Thank you!😁
I feel like I messed up somewhere >< the row after joining the round the first time doesn’t have those convenient loops to crochet into even though I feel like I did everything correctly 😭
Hi Mei, thank you for a very comprehensive. I’ve tried making it and enjoyed it. Just one thing- my bag seems to widen as I crochet upwards so the end result is a little like an upside down bucket hat. May I ask what could I possibly be doing wrong? I see that your sample is straight. Thank you
I used a flimsier yarn so it can hold a few light things, but I’d be nervous carrying much weight. If you use a sturdier yarn it should be plenty good to hold two books!!
For anyone that made the bag, what kind of yarn did you use to make it stable, like actually hold things. I was wondering if the yarn she used is any good for holding heavier stuff
I’m learning to crochet and have been needing a bag! I haven’t made it yet but, do you think I could use #2 yarn for this? I don’t think it will be an issue, but I just want to know! If I don’t have a reply by Wednesday, then I’m making it! It’s Saturday btw!
May I ask how much yarn was used? Very cute bag and I have two skeins of 4 weight yarn 3.5 oz/100g each. I know you used a fine yarn but you doubled it but no where did I hear or see how much was used. I’m hoping I can use this yarn for the bag. Thanks !!
🤩I love this sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much ty just one question at 8:48 did you keep going around the the whole thing or did you go up in rows
Thank you for this! I have a question. I’ve been making it and I at the second stage of doing the straps. I got through the second layer on the first strap but how do I crotch the bag part. So I did the strap at 11:35 but after that layer how do I crochet the bag part? Thank you!
So I just made this bag (we’ll attempt to make lol) and instead of being a perfect square, my bad gets smaller and smaller towards the top and almost closing in at the very top where the straps go (almost like a real purse). I am not sure where I went wrong and I think it’s hideous lmaooo but it was only my second project so I guess I wont be that hard on myself. Any reason as to why the shape didn’t stay square? (It’s shaped very similar to almost a triangle now. Thank you!
i have this same issue & i saw another comment saying hers gets wider at the top, and someone said she was probably adding a new stitch. since ours is getting smaller at the top, i’m assuming somewhere we both dropped/ignored a stitch?? but i’m not sure how to fix that lol. it’s my first ever crochet project, learning as i go!!
i just finished the bag and it turned out so nice except... the straps ☹ because the stitch she used for the straps made then SHRINK in half so just make sure you either double the amount of chains that you want or do a different stitch. hope this helps😁
