I spent all Sunday afternoon on my front porch crocheting this listening to the rain and the birds chirping. What a pleasant day! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial!! I had a lot of fun making it and will definitely be making many more. Great way to use up some scrap yarn as well. You have a very pleasant voice to listen to and are very good at explaining things simply. Thank you! Have a wonderful day 💜

very easy to follow and relaxing to do. I decided to make 47 chains instead of the 27 to make a bigger purse and it's coming out beautiful. thank you.

Just made a pretty red one. Thank you! I wanted a slightly wider strap so I just went back up the chains with single crochets. Came out great!

Almost driven to tears made this bag for my daughter just like when I was a little girl n my mom made me a little crochet purse too 😍 Thx didn't knw it would b possible 🤣

I just made a purse out of two solid granny squares:) now I am ready to try this one.

I love this little purse...made 4 of these...thank you so much for this tutorial...!!

Fabulous! Lovely bag. Love how it looks and doesn’t look complicated. This will be my next project. Thanks for sharing and such clear instructions.

The best video for the beginners... Thank you so much

Loved making this bag. Thank you❤

could you tell me how double the size of this bag...i tried a larger hook and it worked a tiny bit...but its not shaped correctly compared to the one i did just as you did in this video. thanks in advance

Hello , I am not sure why but I am already having trouble forming a straight line at round 1 . The half double crochet forms a circle as I go down the knots . Could you kindly advise ? I am an absolute beginner !

Round 4 13:10

You have a really beautiful, calming voice and you give directions so well!! I’m a beginner but your video is so clear I feel like I might be able to do this

The stitches are beautiful! Ive made one and i love it. Only that mine is getting smaller to the top. I guess it was because i didnt keep track on counting the stitches. So it was my mistake. But i really like how it turned out nonetheless

So adorable. Thanks for sharing.

Such a lovely bag, I am so happy to have found this video, it is exactly what I have been looking for to create. Thank you for sharing!

your voice is so soothing

Hello, I just found your channel. Would you tell me please what is the size of the finished bag?

Finally I have finished making this bag and am soo happy 😇😎

For a stronger strap, try one cluster stitch on top of another.

Wonderfully explained

Thank you you explain it very clearly and show it well.

Hi! I started doing the purse last night and I just finished :D I'm so happy with the result, it is really beautiful! Thank you so much for the video, it was really helpful and simple to follow

Can you please let me know about how many yards of yarn did you use for this?

Very cute! I would like to make it bigger, could you please tell me the multiples of the stitches? Thank you and have a great day from Athens, Greece!

Can a zipper be added and if so do u have a tutorial on how??? thank you

How to Crochet Bag Purse Easy & Adorable

Love this !!! Liked and subscribed !!!

I was wondering what the multiples are for the foundation row. I'd like to make the purse a bit bigger. Wonderful video!

love it. want to do some for Christmas gifts...where can I get the yarn?

This is sooo beautiful thanks you sooo much 4 the amazing patterns!

very good teaching thank you so much.

I love shells 🐚

Thanks.. I made this with 51 chain. It's very easy and look pretty.

Thx for the video, its awesome

I made this its so nice thanks

Stitch a long rectangle and fold it in half. Stitch one side, the strap and the other side. Stitching the sides helps to keep the shape of the purse.

Thank you for the written pattern thank you

your voice is absolutely adorable!

I love this bag all the way frome south africa love you❤❤❤

12:47 -beginning of round 4 (ending with a shell) 16:07 - beginning of round five (ending with a single crochet)

wow!!you r just awesome!!😍😘

Mam you're really talented

Would it be okay if I used a thinner yarn or do you reccomend the same yarn thickness that you're using?

Love this pattern! How many multiples should be the foundation chain in order to make any size of pouch using shell stitch?

hi u Did really gud and also easy for me because I m beginner ,I will make it for sure.

Heyyyy How long does it take to make??? Thx in advance X X X

your explanation is awesome. thank you so much

Beautiful!

Also , thank you for sharing, I love your videos. . You have a soothing voice..

LOVE IT...

Mine went into a perfect circle on starting first round! Loosened and tried it again pausing the video over again but it keeps going into a circle! Not sure if it's because I'm left handed? Given up

just amazing dear

I can't find your written pattern for this bag on your Etsy site. It's saying it can't be found.

28:31 Did you chain one then cut the yarn or did you cut it after the slip stitch??

Hi shall v do the single crochet round more for thick bottlom

this is beautiful

I started the little cute cross-body bag, but after a few turns on the round, I kept liking more the shells from the first row. I think the difference is that the other shells have chains on the middle, like the ones the pattern asks in row 2. Can you help me understand what is the reason for these chains? Is it to add puffiness? I'm omitting these rows, and I liked them more, the only thing I don't know is what I'm losing.

As soon as I watch this video I new how to do it.First time trying and I'm half done with my purse

Just started crocheting one month ago and I made this pretty shell bag. It definitely wasn’t as pretty as yours but I’m still very happy with how it turned out :) ps. My mom said she’s impressed with my crocheting skills 😂

How many shells should we have at the end of round one of shells

Anyone else have a hard time figuring out how to count their stitches? When she points out the single crochets at 14:44 I have no clue what she's pointing at...

I like the purse.

Can I subject that you should say about how much yarn the project requires. Please and thank you

Awesome!

I'm new subcriber here 🤗 and I'm really excited to learn a lot from your valuable videos thanks for sharing ❣️❣️❣️ lots of 💓 from North East

Working on this now 🤗

love it

Is this cotton yarn polyester can you tell me more about the yarn. Thanks Love your videos and patterns.

Beautiful 👍

I love this but the only thing I changed was the handle/strap I did a chain of 100 and then I did a row of all half stitches I have an iPhone and I put it in my original trial bag and felt as though the strap was going to come apart other than that love it

Can I use cotton wool yarn for this? Help pls

I love it but when u said u count 60 mine got 62 is that ok ???

Could you please teach us how to make a travel nappy holder,please

sooo cute

How do the straps hold up? Do they stretch too much? I've ran into that problem before. It's a pretty bag.

where can I get the written pattern for this? I looked on Etsy, but this wasn't among your patterns. Is this a cotton yarn you used?

Can I use any yarn weight?

I love it

I love wooly wonders

❤️❤️❤️Love this tutorial! I want to make this bigger, to make a gift bag. To do that I'm thinking to increase the starting chain in multiples of 3. Do you think that would work?

round 4 end with single crochet 16:15 round 3 end with shell 12:55

How come mine stay flat and don’t keep the shape on the sides? I’ve tried about 4-5 times now

How long take making time one bag or hats

Can you do this pattern in blanket form ? I think it would look pretty as a blanket .
