Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you've been enjoying my tutorials😊❤ Holding your tension and getting hand cramps is a very common problem for beginners. The more you crochet, the more your hand will get used to holding the yarn and maintaining tension. As you gain experience, your hands will find a more comfortable and efficient position.

​@@AdoreCreaCrochethey! I crochet alot since Years but since i work in Retail normally , my Wrists hurt alot so, would you recommend a Yarn Bowl for tension? ❤😊

Hi, thanks for your comment. Nice to hear that you have benefited from my video tutorial and have used it to create a bag.🙂 I would recommend that you take the inside measurements of the bag and cut some solid fabric according to the measurements with seam allowance included. Sew the parts together, press the top edge down and hand sew the lining to the inside of the bag.

Thank You very much 🙂 I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the project! am sorry to say that I do not have a written pattern for this project. But if you have any further questions to the project, I will be happy to assist you. Happy crocheting!❤😊

Muchas gracias por tu amable comentario.🥰 Lo aprecio mucho. Depende de usted si desea forrar la bolsa. Puede ser una ventaja hacerlo, para fortalecer la bolsa y hacerla más estable. Pero personalmente no he optado por invertir en él.❤

Muchas gracias! Me encanta su canal! Y gracias a la traduccion puedo seguir sus trabajos❤❤❤

Thank you so much🥰 It's great to hear that you love the pattern! Don't worry too much if you've made a small adjustment. If you've been crocheting the squares without the chain 1 spaces, it might affect the overall size and shape slightly, but it shouldn't drastically alter the appearance of the finished bag.😊

@@AdoreCreaCrochet You're very welcome and okay that's good to know, thank you very much for your help 🙂

You're very welcome, and I'm delighted to hear that you've made it to the stage where you'd like to line your crochet bag! Adding a lining can not only enhance the bag's durability but also give it a more polished look. While I don't have the capability to provide specific links or URLs, you can find many tutorials on how to line a crochet bag by searching online. To get you started, here are the general steps you would typically follow: Gather Your Materials: Fabric for the lining Sewing machine or needle and thread Pins Scissors Measuring tape Iron and ironing board Measure and Cut the Fabric: Measure the inside of your crochet bag to determine the size of the lining needed. Add some extra fabric for seam allowances. Prepare the Fabric: Iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles. Fold the fabric in half, right sides facing each other. Sew the Sides: Sew the sides of the fabric together, leaving the top open. You can use a sewing machine or hand-sew it. Attach the Lining: Turn the lining right side out. Place it inside your crochet bag to check the fit. Use pins to secure the lining in place, ensuring it's evenly distributed and aligning with the top edge of your crochet bag. Stitch the Lining to the Bag: Carefully hand-sew or machine-sew the top edge of the lining to the top edge of your crochet bag. Finishing Touches: Trim any excess fabric if needed. Make sure all seams are secure. It's always a good idea to check out video tutorials or detailed guides online for a visual demonstration. Many craft websites and video platforms like RU-vid offer step-by-step instructions on how to line crochet bags. You can search for "how to line a crochet bag" to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences. Happy lining, and I hope your crochet bag turns out beautifully! 😊🧶

@@AdoreCreaCrochet 👍😘

That's fantastic that you've started your project! To assemble the side granny squares to the front and back, you can follow the steps that are shown in the video 21:04 minutes into the video. Good luck with your project, and I hope you finish it in time for Christmas! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.😊❤

Hi🤗 Thank you so much ❤️ The slip stitches are only to join the rounds. They will never count as a stitch, so do not work into those. Best of luck with your project 🥰

Hi there! 🥰I'm glad you love the project! Blocking can help to give your squares a more polished and even look, especially if they tend to curl or if you want them to all be the same size. It's not strictly necessary, but it can make a big difference in the final appearance of your bag. If you're new to blocking, there are various methods you can try, such as wet blocking or steam blocking. Feel free to ask if you need any tips or guidance on how to block your squares effectively!

I'm thrilled to hear that your project turned out cute! The size of each bag can vary depending on factors like your yarn weight, hook size, and tension. If you made your square following my tutorial, it's likely around 4 (10 centimeters) wide and tall. However, to get an accurate measurement for your specific square, you can use a ruler or measuring tape to measure it directly. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Thank You very much for your kind words😊 You are very welcome❤ I used Drops Paris approximately 400 grams.

Thank you very much, Ma'am. Pls. Don't stop sharing your works ❤️❤️❤️

Hi there🙂 i live in Denmark so bought the yarn at a local shop. But Drops Paris is available on amazon US and all over Europe and may other places aswell.

Thank you! 🥰Lining your bag is a great idea-it adds stability and durability, especially if you've crocheted with a single strand. It can reinforce the structure and prevent stretching over time. Plus, it offers a polished, finished look. If you decide to line your bag, consider using a sturdy fabric that complements your crochet work. Happy crafting! 😊

Thank You very much for your comment. I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying my tutorials and the yarns I use in my projects! I often use Yarn from Drops Design. And I buy all of my yarn in online stores here in Denmark where I live. But Drops yarn is also available in many other countries and on Amazon.com.

@@AdoreCreaCrochet Thank you so much!😊💖

I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful! The size of the smaller hook used in the tutorial is 4mm. Feel free to experiment with different hook sizes to achieve the look and feel you want. Happy crafting! 🧶✨

Hi there! I'm delighted that you found the tutorial lovely. The size of the bag and the amount of yarn used can vary based on individual preferences and the specific yarn you are using. Happy crafting! ❤😊

I'm glad you like the pattern and concept of the bag! 😊It sounds like you're putting in a lot of effort despite the challenges. Dealing with splitting yarn and loose stitches can be frustrating, but don't worry, there are ways to troubleshoot these issues. Firstly, make sure you're using the appropriate hook size for the yarn you're using. If the hook is too small, it can cause the yarn to split and the stitches to be tight. Conversely, if the hook is too large, it can lead to loose stitches. Secondly, pay attention to your tension while crocheting. Try to maintain a consistent tension throughout your work. This might take some practice, but it can greatly improve the appearance of your stitches. Lastly, if you're concerned about the bag maintaining its shape, lining it with a natural tote bag or similar material is a great idea! Not only will it add stability to the bag, but it can also give it a professional finish. Keep experimenting and don't get discouraged! Crocheting is all about practice and patience. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance. You're doing great!❤🤗

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you liked the instructions. I'll make sure to include a step-by-step guide on how to attach the squares to the back panel in one of my next tutorials. Stay tuned! 😊🧶

Congratulations on starting your first crochet project! Weaving in ends is an important step to ensure your work stays secure and looks neat. Here's how you can weave in ends for the daisy granny square tote bag: Thread the yarn tail onto a yarn needle: Cut a length of yarn from your project, leaving a tail of about 4-6 inches. Weave in the tail on the wrong side: Turn your work to the wrong side (the side that won't be visible when you're using the tote bag). Insert the yarn needle under the stitches: Thread the yarn needle through the stitches on the back of your work, going back and forth for a few stitches. Make sure to weave in the tail in different directions to secure it. Trim the excess yarn: Once you're confident that the tail is securely woven in, trim any excess yarn close to your work, being careful not to cut the stitches. Repeat for other ends: Repeat this process for any other yarn ends you have from joining squares or changing colors. By weaving in the ends in this way, you'll ensure that your tote bag looks neat and the ends won't unravel with use. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! Happy crocheting and enjoy making your daisy granny square tote bag! 🌼🧶

Hi 😊 Im sorry but i don´t exactly remember, but i do mention it in the beginning of the video. You are very welcome for the tutorial, and thank you for commenting❤

Adding a cloth lining to the bag is a great idea! To make it more sturdy. I would make the lining after assembling the pieces, then you can take the exact measurements inside the bag, and ude them to make the pattern for the lining. Bets of luck with your project. Im sure it will turn out great🥰

Choosing the right yarn for a tote bag is important, especially if you're concerned about its strength and durability. Both acrylic and cotton yarns can be suitable, but they have different characteristics. Acrylic Yarn: Pros: Acrylic yarn is often more budget-friendly, comes in a wide range of colors, and can be quite durable. Cons: It might not have the natural feel of cotton, and it can be less breathable. Cotton Yarn: Pros: Cotton yarn is natural, breathable, and has a softer feel. It's also durable and can hold up well to weight. Cons: Cotton yarn may be a bit heavier than acrylic, and it can sometimes be more expensive. When making a tote bag, consider the purpose and your preferences. If you want a lightweight bag, acrylic might be a good choice. If you prefer a more natural feel and don't mind a bit more weight, cotton is a great option. I recommend that you both tie knots and weave in the end afterwards. Feel free to experiment with small swatches using both yarn types and securing methods to see which combination you prefer for your tote bag. And don't worry about asking questions - that's how we learn! If you have any more, feel free to ask. 😊🧶

It's wonderful that you're making a crochet tote bag! I use my bag for a beach bag or for crochet and knitting projects, which the bag is perfect for. To address concerns about the sturdiness and preventing small items from falling out, here are a few suggestions: Lining: Consider adding a fabric lining to the inside of the tote. This can help reinforce the structure, cover the gaps between granny squares, and prevent small items from poking through. Base Material: If you haven't already, you might want to use a dense or sturdy yarn for the base of the bag, as this can provide additional support. Remember, the holes and gaps are inherent to granny square designs, but with some of these adjustments, you can enhance the durability and functionality of your tote bag. Happy crocheting! 🌼👜🧶

Hi 🙂 I used 25 Moss Green. Your welcome🥰

@@AdoreCreaCrochet Thank you so much! Can't wait to get started - Daisies are my most favourite flower - and this bag is just gorgeous with your colour combinations.

I am sorry to say that i do not remember exactly. Best of luck with your project.

Hi🥰You are very welcome. Im glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Ehen using some thinner yarn the bag will be a bit smaller, when using this pattern. You could make the sqaures larger by adding another round, like i did i this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YxxICTrLc8U.htmlsi=yBLSm-OdQGXccFuf Best of luck with your project😊

@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you so much! The result is great - I'm so happy with this bag :)

Hi😊 Yes absolutely you can, as long as you add an equal number of new squares to each side of the bag, you can make it exactly the size you want it to be. Best of luck with your project😊❤

@@AdoreCreaCrochet one last question. I made the bag for my friend. She is obsessed, but asked me to add button! HOW do I do this? Do you have a step by step to follow? Thank you so much.

Hi there🥰 In this video I use DK worsted weight 8 ply merino wool. So I gues that your sqaure will turn out much smaller than mine when using 4 ply yarn. But the design works great with 4 ply cotton yarn aswell😊 Best of luck with your project❤

Hi there😊 I used 27 granny suaqres for the bag. I sed the 4,5 mm for the squares and chains. and 3,5 mm. for the sc and handles.

@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you

How did you the back side of the border?

Hi! 🥰To determine the right zipper size, you'll need to know the dimensions of your purse. Measure the length of the opening where you want to add the zipper, and choose a zipper that's slightly longer than that measurement for a comfortable fit. For lining, you can use a fabric that complements your purse. Thanks for reaching out! 😊👜

Hi there🥰 I used Drops Paris, 10 ply / aran / worsted weight yarn. Best of luck with your project and happy crocheting❤️🧶

Thank you for your kind words! 🥰 I'm glad you've been enjoying the tutorials. While I don't have a video specifically about a simple tote bag without granny squares at the moment, I can certainly consider creating one in the future. It sounds like a great project🤗

@@AdoreCreaCrochet Sounds great, will be checking your channel for videos. Have a nice week :)

🥰❤️

Of course! I'm glad to hear you're excited to try making the bag. 🌼😊 Yes the square is 4 inches by 4 inches (10 cm by 10 cm) when using the recommended yarn and recommended hook size. However, you can adjust the size by changing the number of rounds you crochet or by using different yarn weights and hook sizes. Feel free to adapt the size to suit your project's needs or personal taste. Happy crocheting, and I hope you enjoy making your granny squares bag! 😊 If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.

That's fantastic!🥰 Congratulations on completing your project! Keep up the great work!💪

For the daisy granny square, I can not tell you exactly how much I used for each skein. Yes, it is a 4 weight yarn. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! Happy crocheting! 🌼🧶

Hello Michele! 😊Thank you for your kind words about the tutorial. Yes, you can absolutely crochet the project using double knit (DK) weight wool. However, keep in mind that using a different weight of yarn might affect the size and drape of the finished piece. You may need to adjust your hook size accordingly to achieve the desired result. It's always a good idea to make a gauge swatch before starting the project. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy crocheting!❤

@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you. I will go get my wool soon. I was told 4mm hook for DK. So irritated that I cant get the wool you recommend in South Africa xx

Yes I tie a knot with each color change, and I weave in the yarntails in the end to secure the yarn 🙂

Hello there😊 Yes sure! I used these three colors: off white uni colour 17, mustard uni colour 41, moss green uni colour 25.

Hi there, I the beginning of the video I go through all the materials and how much I need of each your color. Each skein weigh 50 grams😊

Hi there. Yes of course😊 I use Drops Paris: weight 4 or medium/ Aran /Worsted /10 ply

@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you so much for the reply

Hi thanks for your comment😊 When it comes to choosing the best ply yarn for making bags, the ideal choice can vary depending on the style and durability you're aiming for in your project. Here are a few general guidelines: Worsted Weight (4-Ply): Worsted weight yarn is a popular choice for bags. It's durable, relatively thick, and can withstand the wear and tear a bag may experience. It's a great choice for tote bags and larger purses. Aran Weight (8-Ply): Aran weight yarn is even thicker than worsted weight and provides extra sturdiness. This is excellent for bags that need to carry heavy items or for those that will see a lot of use. Bulky or Super Bulky Weight: If you want a very sturdy and quick-to-crochet bag, consider using bulky or super bulky weight yarn. This will result in a thick, dense fabric that can handle a lot of weight and is great for market bags and winter accessories. Cotton Yarn: If you're making a summer or beach bag, consider using cotton yarn. It's breathable and holds up well in humid conditions. Nylon or Acrylic Blends: For bags that need to be water-resistant or are exposed to the elements, consider using yarn blends with nylon or acrylic, which can provide added durability and water-repellent properties. Ultimately, the best ply yarn for your bag-making project depends on your specific design, the purpose of the bag, and your personal preferences. You can also consider combining different yarn weights for interesting textures and color patterns in your bag. Make sure to check the yarn label for care instructions and durability before making your choice.

@@AdoreCreaCrochet awhh ..thanks dear 🫂

Absolutely, a granny square tote bag can be a great project for beginners! The granny square itself is a classic and relatively simple crochet motif, making it a wonderful starting point for those new to crocheting. Plus, tote bags are practical and stylish items that you'll enjoy using. As for how long it takes, that can vary widely based on factors like your crochet speed, the size of the squares, and how much time you can dedicate to crocheting each day. Since you mentioned you're not super fast, no worries at all - the joy of crafting is in the process itself. Take your time, enjoy the journey, and celebrate each square you complete. You're building valuable skills with every stitch! If you're uncertain about the time commitment, you might want to start with a smaller tote bag or create a few squares to get a feel for the process. This way, you can gauge how much time it takes you and adjust your expectations accordingly. Remember, the goal is to enjoy the process and create something you're proud of. Don't hesitate to ask for help or guidance if you encounter any challenges along the way. Happy crocheting! 🧶🌼👜❤

@@AdoreCreaCrochet Thanks that will definitely help! I went to dollar tree and got a ton of yarn and surprisingly it's pretty good! i started making that bag but i'm slowly getting the hang of it!

Hi there! 😊The time it takes to make a granny square tote bag can vary depending on your crochet speed. Generally, making a large tote bag with multiple granny squares can take several hours to a few days, depending on how much time you can dedicate to crocheting each day. Regarding your hook and yarn choice, using a 5.5mm hook with yarn that recommends a 5.5mm hook should work well for your project. This hook size should give you the desired tension and stitch definition for a sturdy tote bag. Make sure to check your gauge as you go along to ensure the bag turns out as expected. Happy crocheting, and enjoy making your tote bag! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. 🌼🧶

You can try blocking your granny squares, by pinning them into a square shape and slightly dampen them, leave them to dry overnight 💕

Here are a few tips: Consistent Tension: Maintain a consistent tension while crocheting. This means that your stitches should be neither too tight nor too loose. Experiment with how you hold your yarn and how tightly you pull it to find what works best for you. Count Stitches: Count your stitches regularly to ensure you're maintaining the correct stitch count in each row. Mistakes in stitch count can lead to wonky shapes. Blocking: After crocheting, block your squares by gently wetting them, shaping them into a square, and allowing them to dry flat. This can help even out any unevenness and make your squares more uniform. As for cleaning up leftover yarn tails, here's a simple method: Weaving in: Thread the yarn tail onto a yarn needle. Carefully weave the needle under the stitches on the wrong side of your work, going back and forth for a short distance. Make sure the tail is securely hidden and won't come loose. Trimming: Once you're confident that the yarn tail is woven in securely, you can trim the excess yarn close to the fabric. Be careful not to cut the working yarn or any nearby stitches. Remember, practice makes perfect! Over time, you'll develop your own techniques and find what works best for you in creating tidy squares and finishing off your projects neatly. Happy crocheting! 🧶😊

Thank you for all the wonderful tips @@AdoreCreaCrochet

In general, when assembling crochet pieces, you want to make sure that the edges align properly, and the stitches match up. I recommend going back to the tutorial and carefully reviewing the assembly instructions.

Hi there, Thank you very much for your comment. You will attach the back side to the bag exactly the same way as the front side. 🙂

I have not tried this myself, but I gues you would just have to change color every time you make a new petal.

@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you for your reply! I’ll have to try it and see!

@@TheNunu121 You are welcome🥰

Hi 😊 There are a few common reasons this might be happening: Tension Issues: One of the most common reasons for irregular shapes in crochet is inconsistent tension. If your stitches are too tight or too loose, especially around the corners, it can cause the square to warp. Try to maintain a consistent tension throughout your work. Stitch Count: Make sure you're counting your stitches correctly. Each corner of a granny square typically has a specific stitch pattern (like 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets in the same space). Missing or adding extra stitches can throw off the shape. Hook Size and Yarn Weight: Using a hook size that doesn't match your yarn weight can also lead to problems. If the hook is too large or too small for your yarn, it can affect the tension and overall look of the square. Blocking: Sometimes, granny squares just need a little bit of shaping. Blocking your squares (wetting them and pinning them in the correct shape as they dry) can help even out any irregularities and make your squares more uniform. Practice: Since you mentioned you're a beginner, keep in mind that practice is key. Your technique and tension will naturally become more consistent with experience. Keep practicing, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions or need further assistance! 🧶🌟

Hi😊 I used Drops Paris: 10 ply / aran / worsted. It helps to block the squares to make them look nice and even. Best of luck with your project.

Thank you for quick reply. Love watching your videos I finished my cardigan yesterday for my daughter I’m expecting in July ❤ what do you mean by block the squares, sorry for the questions I’m new to crochet xx

@@CourtneyWintle That's wonderful to hear about your finished cardigan! Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little one as well. 🥰Blocking squares in crochet involves gently shaping them into their intended dimensions and allowing them to dry flat. It helps even out stitches and makes joining them easier for a neat finish. Don't worry about asking questions-that's how we learn and grow in our craft! Happy crocheting! 🧶💕

Sure! Adding lining to a tote bag can give it a more finished look and add durability. Here’s a basic guide to help you: Prepare Your Materials: Fabric for the lining (cotton or polyester blends work well) Sewing machine or needle and thread Scissors Iron and ironing board Pins or clips Measure and Cut the Fabric: Measure the inside dimensions of your tote bag. Cut two pieces of fabric for the lining, making sure they are slightly smaller than the dimensions of the tote bag to allow for seams. Prepare and Sew the Lining: Fold and press a small hem along the top edge of each piece of lining fabric. Place the two pieces of lining fabric right sides together. Sew along the sides and bottom edge of the lining, leaving the top (hemmed) edge open. Use a seam allowance of about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm). Leave a small opening along one side or bottom edge for turning the lining right side out later. Box the Corners (Optional): To create a flat bottom in your tote bag, pinch each corner of the lining where it meets the side seam. Measure and mark a line across the corner perpendicular to the seam, typically about 2 inches (5 cm) from the point. Sew along this line and trim off the excess fabric. Repeat for the other corner. Attach the Lining: Turn the tote bag right side out. Insert the lining into the tote bag with the wrong side of the lining facing out. Align the top edges of the lining with the top edges of the tote bag. Pin or clip the lining to the tote bag along the top edge, ensuring it is evenly distributed and fits snugly. Sew the Lining to the Tote Bag: Sew along the top edge of the tote bag, securing the lining in place. You can sew by hand or use a sewing machine. Be careful to sew close to the top edge and remove pins or clips as you sew. Finish Up: Pull the lining through the opening you left earlier to turn it right side out. Press the top edge of the tote bag and the lining with an iron to create a crisp finish. Sew the opening closed by hand using a slip stitch or sew it closed with a sewing machine. Final Touches: Push the lining down into the tote bag and adjust as needed. Your lined tote bag is now ready to use! Adding a lining can be a bit tricky, but with practice, you'll master it. If you have any specific questions or run into issues along the way, feel free to ask for more guidance. Happy sewing! 🧵👜
