DIY Drawstring Bucket Bag | Crochet Tutorial

[@kathrync5978]

I love watching and listening to your voice - it is SO gentle and lovely. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@pilotracoon80]

Thank you so much! This is a beautiful bag that I'm going to try to make for my mum 😊

[@piaffe25rider]

Its Perfect!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@sonias1love]

A great project and will love to attempt it hopefully very soon but have 1 question and recommendation: 1) what is staggering rows (I'm 1 yr into crocheting and haven't heard of this term; 2) could you film a closer and a little slower. Please do not feel offended I wish I could get a better view, especially with the "staggering." Thanks for sharing,

[@yarnTh3ory]

Hello! Thank you!
1. Check out this very informative article on staggering increases. It explains the difference between staggering and stacking. geekandyarn.com/how-to-stagger-increases/
2. For the next tutorial I will definitely make sure the zoom my camera in.
Let me know if you have any questions once you get started on the project.

[@bleather100]

The written pattern is not staggered, correct? Why not change it to staggered increases to help us?!

[@wendysulphur]

Thank you for sharing your delightful tutorial. I've just made a bag with purple/pink flat macrame cord.

[@koukiburger3148]

How many skeins of macrame did it take u to make it ?

[@wendysulphur]

@koukiburger3148 I bought 2 x 3mm, 200m from Amazon and used about half.

[@dianegriggs1373]

Very nice purse, I love the closure.

[@yarnTh3ory]

Thank you!

[@JeleCROchet]

I love it😍 Today I will buy my cord and try to make one for me☺ Thank you!

Love this! What are the finished dimensions? I’m thinking of using lighter yarn (what I have) and want to know when to stop increasing. Also considering Alpine stitch!

how do you attach the first lobster clasp to the i-cord? I don't see a tutorial for this on your channel

Can you guide me how to attatch the lobster clasp with the i cord chain?

[@jessieneumann1949]

Hey there! I love your tutorials. When you say braided cotton cord, is this the same thing as macrame cord? Thank you!

[@yarnTh3ory]

Hi! Thank you! Yes, it’s a type of macrame cord.

[@shutxupandsmile]

Hello! Love the pattern. Where do you buy your cord yarn from? Thank you.

[@yarnTh3ory]

I purchase my cord from the brand Bobbiny🧶

[@JoVan142127]

Thank you

[@cindydupoux5709]

In Round 3. Do you alternate stitches? Ex 2 sc in the 1 st, 1 sc in the next 2 sc after. Or is it 2 sc in the first stich and after that its only 1 sc ? Im sorry if this is confusing

[@busybeingbianca]

Hello, I love your work! What specific color from Bobbiny did you use for this bag? Also, is Bobbiny what you prefer or is any macarame cord from Amazon okay? Thank you so much! :)

[@yarnTh3ory]

Thank you! I used the color coffee. Bobbiny is one of my favorite brands due to their quality. A close second is the brand Perfect Yarns. They are on Etsy and carry a 2mm braided cotton cord in a variety of colors.

[@busybeingbianca]

@@yarnTh3ory thank you!! I cannot wait to get to work on this project in the exact color! Really appreciate you responding! I just started crocheting in May

[@TheDabblingHook]

Hi there. Just came across your channel. Great tutorial.

[@yarnTh3ory]

Thank you so much!

[@silentlightcrafts]

I'm using a thinner yarn and smaller hook (3.5mm), and I'm left handed. The first 5 rows are curving like a bowl instead of laying flat like yours... would you be able to tell if that's because of the thinner yarn, the fact that I'm crocheting in the opposite direction (I'll turn inside out to finish), or something else (maybe too much tension)?
Thanks for your excellent tutorial!

[@yarnTh3ory]

It’s mostly likely because of your tension. Try crocheting looser and it can help to minimize the curling. Please note there may still be some curling .

[@silentlightcrafts]

@@yarnTh3ory Thank you! I switched to a non-stretchy yarn (cottony ribbon) and it's laying mostly flat now... but also paying my dues as a beginner 😊

[@AdrianaDiazArizon-yx8lf]

I can manage to make my stitches to go up, they lay flat. Please help

[@caitlinallie3415]

Love it! Really want to make it! Do you know if I were to make the handle longer to be cross body length if it would hold up? Or would there be too much stress on the strap?

[@yarnTh3ory]

Thank you! I have made the longer strap using cord and it worked great. Just keep in mind that the strap will stretch so make it slightly shorter than the desired size as it will eventually stretch a little.

[@lenaboyce5693]

If I wish to make it bigger jus continue the repeat pattern for a few more rounds?

[@yarnTh3ory]

If you want to make it bigger you have two options:
Make the base bigger by adding a few more rounds.
Make it taller by adding more rounds to the body.

[@luizaidziorek4195]

Can I use acrylic or polyester yarn?

[@monicamorris7848]

Thank you for this video. When staggering the rounds, are you joining at the end of the round or is this continuous rounds? Is that what the stitch marker is for?

[@yarnTh3ory]

Thank you! This bag is worked in continuous rounds. The stitch marker is used to indicate the end of each round.

hello whats the length of the bag please?

[@michelmaxwell2318]

Can you use T shirt yarn to make this bag ?

[@yarnTh3ory]

You definitely can!

[@sarahmcglashan]

Could you tell me what a BLO stitch is please?

[@yarnTh3ory]

BLO means back loop only. Check out this great blog post that explains it very throughly. www.sigonimacaroni.com/how-to-crochet-in-the-front-and-back-loops-only/

[@ginaagate2791]

Correct me if I’m wrong, the video pattern for Round 3 says 1 sc in the first then 2 sc in the next st and your written pattern says the opposite..

[@yarnTh3ory]

Hi Gina! In the video (minute mark 5:11) I made note that I staggered my increases so the steps in the video vary slightly from the written instructions. Staggering the increases is optional. I creates a smoother circle. You can place in your increases (the 2sc) in the order that you prefer. Please let me know if you have any questions about staggering increases.

Hi, how do I make this a backpack as well?

[@bleather100]

You can easily change the hardware to make it shoulder, cross-body or backpack all in one! ua-cam.com/video/v2sR3iTmZEU/v-deo.htmlsi=JaIEYXinUDbKH3aL

[@joannecabanilla]

Hi, may i know what is the exact size of this bag in cm? Thank you.

[@bleather100]

I found it in the written pattern- 7” diameter x 10” height (approximately 18 cm x 25 cm)

[@robymontano842]

hi,it looks so easy but when I tried I came out to something different☹️

[@yarnTh3ory]

Hi Roby! Message me on Instagram and I can help you trouble the issue. @yarnth3ory

[@kinawild6211]

What's BLO mean ?

[@yarnTh3ory]

BLO = back loop only. Meaning you would crochet into the back loop of the stitch.

[@kinawild6211]

@@yarnTh3ory thank you so much

[@SuperEvaganda]

Starting the icord on the first lobster clasp is very confusing and your tutorial doesn’t cover how you crocheted it onto the first lobster clasp only the second one

I just watch with captions if music is annoying (which it quite often is). Or if it’s in a different language.
