I have been searching for an easy way to make a rectangle bottom bag, this is an excellent and easy pattern. I can’t wait to try it. Heading to my scrap yarn right after this post. I’ll let you know how it comes out. 😊 Thank You!
That is wonderful. I will actually be releasing another easy flat bottom design later this spring that is also very easy and can create an even wider bottom.
I like so many of the features of this bag. I like the box bottom, the straps on the sides, the rope for the handles. My favorite part is using scrap yarn. Thanks for the project.
Cute bag. Crocheting the sides of the bag adds stability to the bag. I hang mine on the head rest of my car, keeps all my emergency stuff in one place and easily accessible. Again cute bag, I'm making one. Thank you 😊
I crocheted a market bag over the winter of 2021-22 to weaR summer of 2022 - but did not LOVE it. Got many compliments - but I just don't LOVE it. Plus too stretchy. I LIKE this folded bag technique - just not the handle. I'm going to crochet or knit an i-chain for the handle. Also liked your 'ragg ' cakes'! tfs!
Acrylic yarn is stretchy. If you use cotton yarn it will have less stretch, but most people have more acrylic yarn scarps. An I-chain handle would be nice.
I am glad to hear that. I really love simple patterns that have a clever twist. Just make a longer starting chain and make it taller. Remember that the width of your project should be the equal to the width of the front and one side of your bag.
Nice! I’m going to make one. I’ve already made a thick scrapghan using double thickness of yarn (UA-camr Darlene Michaud’s method), and now I think a I’ll make a bag. I was fussing around trying to learn how to crochet an oval bottom, but I like your method of box stitching a bottom. Wish me luck! 😊 Thank you for the video.
Just from watching (and maybe because I'm not the best at sewing) I feel like crotcheting the sides and the loop for the rope looks easier! I might change my mind when I try it 😂
You are welcome. I have another take on this bag that I will be doing later this spring. It will be a different style but still be one piece with a flat bottom, worked flat.
Hi! I just finished making my first scrap yarn bag, using your tutorial. I didn’t have that measuring tool you used to measure for the stitch to turn the bag into a flat bottom.I just used a measuring tape and followed your directions. I think it turned out ok. But I have question. You didn’t show what the inside of the bag looked like once sewn. My 2 inch stitch triangle flapped around so attached the with some slip stitches to sides of the bag. This made the bag a little sturdier to stand up. I don’t know if I’m making sense. I really enjoyed the process of making this bag. 😊
The little triangle are suppose to be on the side of the bag but I have seen them left on the outside as well. You can either sew them to the bottom of the bag or to the side. Both ways work.
This is really cute, I love it! I will definitely have to try making one. May I ask where you purchased the rope? I have no idea where to look! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I'm not done yet but I have done everything you said to do but when I put it together it definitely does not look like a bag. I feel like I have done something wrong. But this is my first time making one so I know it probably won't come out exactly the way it supposed to. I'm just gonna go head and finish it and see what happens. I love this video thank you.
Can you explain what doesn't make it look like a bag? It is a simple rectangle that we will crochet the edges together to make a bag shape then slip stitch the corners to give it a flat bottom. You could sew the sides together and sew the corners if you like. If you remain stuck, just leave a new comment and let me know what it does look like.
It is an easy way to make it flat bottom. I wanted to keep the video short, but in the future I would love to do a video showing how to figure out the measurements to use this technique to make any size bag with any width.
Here are the written instructions. www.windingroadcrochet.com/crochet-scraps-bag-free-pattern I used a size H hook and yes you can make it a solid color.
Can you explain that better. I am not sure how you would save yarn by folding it a different direction. I also think that would make sewing the bottom harder.
I believe it is called a quilter's square. You can find them in the quilting/fabric section of the craft store. I also like to use it for checking gauge because it holds the swatch flat and doesn't stretch it.
Fantastic!!!! Reminds me of the vintage bags from 60s & 70s...a time that I treasured. Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you that was fun easy and fast! I made bags for my granddaughter and nieces! They have taken them everywhere! So thank you for the smiles 😊

Great idea!!
Very nice! I hope to make one. I at least want to use the idea of the rope. And thx 4 showing how to make a flat bottom. 🙂
You are welcome 😊 I like to use this trick often. It works with fabric too, to make a liner.
Love scrappy projects. And who doesn't love no-sew!!
For a beginner, sewing this one maybe easier, but I thought making it no sew would be fun.
I love the scrappy look! Great project for using up those smaller leftovers.
Yes it is and we all have those scraps hanging around.
I have found that using 2 strands looks even better because as you join a new color, it’s not so noticeable - it just blends.
That is true!
This is a great way to use up scraps. This bag turned out really great. Can’t wait to make one. Thanks
Thanks so much!
Beautiful purse!!! I made TWO of them already and am planning on making more!!! 💖
They make good project bags as well.
What a great way to use up scraps! Thank you! Your videos are wonderful!
You are welcome. I just love scrap projects.
Great tutorial and pattern! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I watched the video & I'm anxious to make myself a bag now. Thank you for sharing. You're easy to follow plus easy to listen too 🌻😊🌻
Thank you, that means a lot. I really try to make sure the sound quality is good and that I don't get squeaky or anything when I talk.
Very nice instructions on this bag! Easy emough to follow. Love how step by step she went. I will try making this bag. Love the hobo bag look.😊
Glad it was helpful!

❤❤❤i am new to crocheting and i made this bag following your pattern thank you 😁 now on my 3rd one
I am so happy to hear that.
Thanks for sharing this tutorial, I am making one for myself. 👍🏻👍🏻
Go for it!
@@WindingRoadCrochet I made it & it turned out awesome !!! Thanks again 😊.
LOVE IT! Such a clever way to use scraps to make something useful and beautiful. Thank you.
You are welcome.

I wanted to make a pattern that had no sewing, but sewing up the sides and edges works too. It is just your choice how to do it.
You made this look so easy, can’t wait to try it. Thanks!!
Hope you like it!
This looks like simple pattern to do. Thank you for showing this.
You’re welcome 😊
Love this. A great way to use up scraps!! Thanks.
You are very welcome. I really love scrap projects.

So easy and attractive. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure 😊

You are welcome!
Just finished making this bag…..well my handle is different. Thanks for sharing!

You are welcome. I have another take on this bag that I will be doing later this spring. It will be a different style but still be one piece with a flat bottom, worked flat.
Awesome bag I love the colours will give this a try, thank you.
Please do!
I'm making one now. I don't have access to my scraps so used a "scrappy" type yarn instead. The effect is the same.
lovely
Loved it, thank you!
You are very welcome.
Very nice and easy tutorial.simple way to teach.thank you.
You are most welcome

There is a link in the written pattern post. But I use dritz cotton rope that I find in the sewing or curtain section at my local craft store.
Once again great tutorial. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
This was very helpful
Wonderful
Love it!! Can’t wait to make it!! Thank you!!
I am happy to hear that.
Super cute bag! We all have plenty of scraps. What type of cake winder do you use?
Just one off of amazon. The brand was a bit odd.
Really lovely bag and easy thank you 🌹
You’re welcome 😊
Loved it making another
Wonderful!

Just for reference, in the UK size H hook is 5mm and worsted weight yarn is Aran...
Thank you
That's pretty cool ! 💜
Thank you
I luv this idea
Thanks
Ohhhhh I love
Thanks!
Nice n easy bottom thanks
You are welcome!
Nice bag. I'm going to try this.
Go for it!
Do you know how to add a pocket inside the bag after you line it?
Wonderful!!
Can this be made in a solid color,what size hook are you using and are there any written directions for this bag???
Here are the written instructions. www.windingroadcrochet.com/crochet-scraps-bag-free-pattern I used a size H hook and yes you can make it a solid color.
Cute!
Thanks.
nice one thanks for sharing video
You are very welcome.
I was wondering instead of folding it hotdog style could you fold it hamburger style and save some time and yarn?
Can you explain that better. I am not sure how you would save yarn by folding it a different direction. I also think that would make sewing the bottom harder.
Thank you
You're welcome
What kind of ruler are you using when you measured the corner?
I believe it is called a quilter's square. You can find them in the quilting/fabric section of the craft store. I also like to use it for checking gauge because it holds the swatch flat and doesn't stretch it.
ممتاز جدا ❤
Thank you
Hi which size crochet hook you used please
I believe it is a size H 5 mm.
I'm making it now how many inches is the Leigh
Finished bag is 12″ wide x 10″ tall x 2″ deep. When crocheting the base (before sewing the corners) the bag will be 14 inches wide.
😍😍😍
Ya!
How many chains
55
@@WindingRoadCrochet thank you for your video I crotches bags and beans for my children and sisters
