Sorry for the late response! I usually round to the near number so it could be either higher or lower. If you plan to only buy 100g and you run out, you can remove one round off the top!
I came here as a beginner and her video is the first that popped up. Now I can only watch what she makes because her voice is soothing, her hands are so pretty to look at and her detailed explanations make crocheting easier. I think this is my one and only crochet teaching channel I'll ever use.
For everyone saying they suck at crochet and they can’t do it, this took me 5 tries as a beginner. Just work really hard on stitches from chains and learning to do clean stitches, you’ll get it.
took me a few tries and finding the right comments but I successfully made the bag and its so adorable and prefect for on the go. I ended up making 3 bags with 1 ball of yarn.
@@ShyPlarisan If you are a beginner i don't think this project would be quick but it's really simple and easy and the results will definitely make you proud. Hope this helps.😊
I’ve just finished it for my sister as a gift for her birthday. It’s so freaking beautiful! But it’s not the perfect bag because I’m still beginner but it tured out beautifully! I’m so excited to give her and see her reaction 🫶🏼
VivCrochets makes every crochet project I've ever done so simple and easy. Her voice is pleasant and understandable unlike other crochet youtubers. Her work is so simple yet so beautiful. Thank you so much for teaching me how to crochet this VivCrochets
@@annayleen one more doubt.... Ugh in each round we would do chain right and should we do 2hdc in the same chain at the other end in each round?...I did 3 of 4 rounds I did thd chain and all but that side curved and the other side is straight
@@Animewave193 mmm i'm not sure if i understood ur question correctly but i think you're only supposed to do 1 hdc in each stitch after the first round so it will look straight:))
I made this beautiful brown bag as a beginner and now I can hold my phone! I’m working on another one mustard yellow with chunky yarn! Thank you for this tutorial!!!
@@deenac1064 instead of increasing every time you get to the side of the bag (every half round) instead make your way around the entire thing, and then increase.
I'm learning because crocheting just seems so soothing and beautiful, i got my hooks from my grandmother. She passed away awhile ago so that's another reason im learning, thank you for this easy, understable, and amazing video.♥
This was the very first crochet project that I worked on, and it turned out pretty good thought the sides were a mess. I made this bag about a year ago, and since then, I have massively levelled up my game, and I now do so many advanced crochet projects basically daily, mostly amigurumi and other useful stuff. Now that I've found the video again, I am thinking of reattempting this but sadly I don't have the original bag to compare it to. Over all I have to say a big thank you for teaching me some of the basics and giving me one last push to finally give crocheting a go! I can't even thank you enough you have changed my life. Literally! ❤
Yes her voice is very soothing and one other thing I do is first I follow the directions and then while I’m doing whatever I have toI listen to Lori beats❤❤❤
Beginner level : 2 Starting on oct 14 2021 8:00pm currently on round 1. I stopped at 8:39pm. Started again at 2:04pm. 2:14 done with he first round :D Round 2! Started : 3:53
Hey Viv! I’m an 11 yr old self teaching myself to crochet :) and I have to say, ur videos have helped me so much! Ur beanie video was so helpful, but I haven’t had the motivation to do a big project like that, so I looked to see if you had bag tutorials, and you did! This I so cute I’m going to do it with single crochets, btw new sub ❤❤❤
i’ve finished it,i thought it was the same as yours lol,it kind of shrinks smaller and smaller but it turned out very good and pretty,thanks for the tutorial it was really helpful!
slip knot, ch 35 hdc in first st x2 hdc rest of row x1 in the last ch, 2 hdc flip work, 2hdc in same loop (2in both sides) hdc rest of sts except last 2hdc in last ch. sl st in first st of work ch 1, hdc in same st hdc in every st sl st at first of round, ch 1 cont for rest of body. (18 rounds) fasten off strap- tie yarn into work where strap will be ch length of strap (55) sl st strap onto other side front and back.
Hi! Thank you for the amazing video. This video is so easy to understand. Mine is a little bigger and starts with 40 chains but when getting higher the crochet is conical seems like I skipped some chains and need to restart again 😂
I just learnt how to crochet the other day and I love your videos so much. The tutorials are so thorough and easy to follow. By the end of the week I'm definitely going to have a bag and a bucket hat! Thank you so much for your content!
i love love love this project, A LOT. The slip stitches do slant as the rows increase, but they slant beautifully. I mean, if this shoulder bag was for sales and i'm the buyer, i would've thought that the slant was just the part of design!
if your using a more bulky yarn or just a thicker one i recommend a 5.5 mm a 6 mm 6.5 mm or a 7 mm depending on the size of your yarn you could even use bigger ones
I finishedmaking this yesterday and i really love it thankyou for this!! Its really pretty and unlike others crochet bag tutorial which needs sewing and I dont really understand how to sew for their videos but your video doesn’t need sewing so I could do it except the fact that I had to restart a few times because I kept thinking the slip stitch was the last stitch so I was increasing but I learnt my mistakes:D THIS BAG IS PERFECT but the only thing is that the width of the bag strap seems a bit too small for me so maybe ill make it with two hdc instead but otherwise thank you for this tutorial the bag is really nice!!
Hi viv! im on my 4th round and the crochet is flat and isn't curving up like yours is even though I'm pretty sure I followed the video right is there a reason for that? (btw i love your videos they're the only one that actually helps me make these things):)
Hello! As long as you didn’t add stitches, it should start curving. Try folding it flat along the foundation chain. It should have straight edges and look like a rectangle
hi, thank you so much for the tutorial, really easy to follow instructions and straight to the point!! can i just ask, when we’re halfway through a round and reach the end of the row, what exactly do we do? are we supposed to slip stitch and chain 1 as well or work half double crochets around it?
@@VivCrochets Thank you for your reply. However, just to make sure, we do that only in round 1. The rest of the rounds until we finish should have only one side with double crochet and a slip stitch. Correct?
Not exactly! We’re working in a sort of spiral. So once you finish one round (an entire circle) you slip stitch, and start the next round. Next round you work all the way around in a circle again
I have a few questions, my bag started to curl a lot at the ends so it started to look like a banana how do I fix that? Also my bag got really short even tho I did the same number of stitches as you can I fix these? Ty
Sorry for the late reply! Do you mean that the ends where the straps are began to curve up? If you're using this bag to hold sort of heavy things, you can line it with fabric. But since it's made of a soft material, it will curve like that unless it's lined with something stiff. And if it's too short, you can just keep adding rounds until you get the length you want!
Idk what happened but my sixth round is so much different then yours, the side is like going wider and wider and yours is straight😢can you please explain to me why’s that happening?
I love the tutorial but when I make the bag the starting side (the one you slit stick into) is slanted out. Did anyone else get this problem I think I did something wrong I just don’t know what.
just finished mine as my first project and yeaaaaa it didn't turn out right. i don't really know where i messed up at but my bag started getting longer at some point and the top portion was longer than the bottom. ;-; soooo i might try again in the future maybe but rn i don't have the willpower to try this pattern again :( I'm going to keep on practicing though and try not to let this get me down.
And other question! … are we supposed to skip the first stitch every time we start a new round and are we also to do the double stitch twice in the first hole we’re starting with every time ? I hope this makes sense
Hi! Been working on this project and I'm having a bit of trouble with it...the angle on one end of the bag is more steeper than the other end. Trying to figure out whats going wrong but I was wondering: how many stiches are you supposed to have once you've completed the second round? I think that'll help me out.
Mine keeps on increasing on one side and i I don't know what to do. Also do we have to half double crochet in the same stitch we did the slip stitch??😢
Thank you! If you’re not getting straight edges, it means your stitch count is off. It sounds like you are missing stitches, maybe the last one? Count your stitches after every round and it should be straight!
hi! my bag is getting wider as i add more rounds and i think that i may accidentally be increasing cuz i'm having trouble with figuring out the end and the start of each round. any tips? thanks for the tutorial btw :)
Hello! Yes, it sounds like you’re increasing. It can really helpful to mark where your first stitch is! So after you chain, do your first half double crochet, then put a marker (I use a bobby pin) in the V of that first stitch. At the end of the round, count your stitches. When it’s the same number as your first round, slip stitch into that V with the stitch marker and do your first stitch into that same V and move your stitch marker
thank you sm! this is veryy helpful btw if u don't mind answering, is there something wrong if my slip stiches are in a straight line and not slanting like yours?
Not sure why, was it straight when the bag was getting wider? You might have been sometimes half double crocheting into your slip stitch from the round before
@@VivCrochets ooooohhh yes, it was straight when my bag was getting wider and i waaas probably seeing the slip stiches as half double crochets. Anw I'll try to fix it and will keep this in mind tysm u're a life saver! ur tutorials are the best!
Hello! Do you have any idea why one of the sides of my bag (the one with the slip stitches) is inclining to the outside? Are we supposed to do the final half double crochet of the round in the previous slip stich or just ignore it? Thank you
I wish you would have shown another round or 2 with the non-slip stitch end. Mine kept coming out wonky on the one end. I ripped it out at least 5 times. So I decided to do the slip stitch on both ends. 🤷🏼♀️
I’m trying to make a bag I’m going to try to watch it all day every day and when it’s summer I’m gonna get some crocheting at Shaeda and then I’m gonna start crocheting this I’m gonna try to be an expert because I have never crocheted and I have an 11 year old so this is gonna be very hard
This is so cute and I’m excited to make this! I’m new to crocheting and was wondering if you’d mind explaining when to double crochet under the entire v of the chain vs when to only go through half of the v? Thank you! Love your videos :)
Thank you! We go under half the V for the first round only. This is when we’re working into the foundation chain! From then on, we work under the entire V
