I would suggest you start off with extra chains than 32 that way it'll end up being wider, and for it to be taller continue with the pattern until to your desired length.
I love this! I have ALOT of cotton yarn rn and had been planning on doing something similar but I really like how you did this more than what I had in mind. I love the texture too! I was wanting a very small crossbody bag just big enough for my phone and a couple of very small items and I think this would work. Im gonna work one up and I still make it a little bigger around but I’m so glad I saw your tutorial! I hope to see more soon!
Thanks for the tutorial! I slipped stitched the bottom to secure and it looked great. I did notice the top of the case, the last single crochet row folds / rolls down a little and was thinking if I do a row of slip stitch around, it could fix this. The strap was very confusing, maybe demo it in a lighter color? Also, name the stitches. Are we continuing with a half double crochet? The transition from the first single crochet to the next stitches wasn't as clear. Other than that, the case was very easy to follow.
Thank you for the tutorial on this beautiful purse. I love it. I am having trouble with the strap and I cannot get it started off correctly. Do you have another video showing another angle on how you do this? Thank you
I love the look of this bag, and it's my first try at something round! I have it finished but can't seem to get the strap right. I chain two, make a SC in the first chain, put my hook through the other loop as shown and follow through, put my hook through the two loops as shown and follow through, do it again, but then have something that is not right. I have extra loops going across the work and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Sorry this is so long! Any suggestions welcome. :)
The part that helped me (and that I didn’t “see” from the tutorial) is to rotate the strap each stitch-that gives the ropy shape to mine. When I flip each time to aim into the two loops, it allows me to position the hook better.
here's a tutorial to make this strap (Romanian cord) that shows precisely what Carol Jones had mentioned on rotating the cord ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fITN-NuEImg.html
Hi Lynn! I had mine custom made and the seller is on etsy. I linked the specific store in the description field of the video if you're interested. I found leather tags at Hobby Lobby that just says "Handmade" as well.
This is a really lovely phone cover. It's very pretty. The only thing is, what about a having a cover/fastener to hold the phone in place to stop it from falling out when wearing it? How would you go about making this?
This looked super complicated and intimidating at first, but you made it so easy to follow along! I’ve only been crocheting for a few weeks now and you helped me learn a lot of cool techniques! Thank you so much! I’m sure my niece’s bag will be beautiful once I’m finished!
Same thing happened to me. I was adding. Xtra stitches. Very important to count your stitches and trial and error. I was off on the pattern but after a few tries I finally got it right and my bag came out beautifully.
I hope you don't mind me answering but I believe that by chaining 2, it makes less of a hole/space and if it doesn't count as a stitch, you really don't need it. You can just chain 1, turn and put your first stitch back into the same stitch. I have learned that from bag-o-day crochet.
I had to watch another video tutorial for the straps but finally figured it out! You have to turn it each time. The “V” from each stitch you do points to the two loops you need to go into next. Make sure you keep things loose or it gets really hard to get your hook through!
