to anyone wanting to make the bag smaller or larger: make the starting chain a multiple of 5+1 for the turning chain, and make the base larger or smaller by adding 5 rows per one square. to match the tutorial, add 10 rows for 2 more squares on the side. :)

[@backyardigan1347]

Hiiii, I don't really understand what you meant for the base part

[@figma_y]

@@backyardigan1347 the base panel i guess

[@kimberlybordelonthompson2274]

Usually, first two rows are base

[@casper1626]

@@backyardigan1347by base i meant the very bottom!

Recently made a tricolor of this (coffee, beige, white) as a gift and it turned out great. My mom loved it so much!! Thank u for ur kindness in sharing this amazing tutorial 🤍🌹

[@afkali4231]

I made this bag and it turned out perfect. You explain it good and even a complete beginner can understand this! Good job

[@annehavet1445]

I am going to try this one. You explained it so well and made it looked easy which I am sure it is not. You are a great teacher. Thank you.

[@KenikseCrochet]

amazingg!!! thank youuu

[@Zaddymak]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! It was concise and thorough. :)
For the lining, do you hand sew it or use a sewing machine?

[@KenikseCrochet]

Thank you! I used sewing machine and have tutorial on it, but if that is no option, you can hand sew it🫶🏼

[@MarinAmigurumi]

Wow very nice 🙂 I'll try to crochet this bag 🙂

[@dadabachir4811]

I like it. you are an artist 💖😇

[@KenikseCrochet]

Thank you💕

[@AyeshaAbubakkar]

thankyou so much for this tutorial. i made it and it turned out awesome and easy

[@KenikseCrochet]

Most welcome ♥️♥️

[@ladybugspritz]

when doing row 12, are the tails being floated on the incorrect side? i’m still working out which is right and wrong side and i thought when the tail is on my bottom right it’s the wrong side

[@KenikseCrochet]

Your right side is when you work your odd number rows, 1, 3, 5 etc

[@ladybugspritz]

@@KenikseCrochet that’s not super helpful when i can’t count rows 😭 i’m trying to base it off the position of the tail because that changes like the row number but i just don’t know if it’s on the right or left with odd rows

[@eminenindunyasi3736]

Maşallah çok güzel olmuş

[@KenikseCrochet]

Thank you!♥️

omg we have the same name!

[@daniellerose5502]

How long would you guesstimate it takes to make this bag? Thank you

[@BernerVRshow]

I did it in three days. Some hours every evening.

[@thanshee7588]

It took me 5 days in total, it depends on the amount of time and speed

[@KenikseCrochet]

Maybe 15-16 hours all together? This is what it took me🫶🏼

[@laybanoor2512]

Can you make 3D flower granny square bag ❤❤

[@KenikseCrochet]

I’ll keep this in mind 🫶🏼

[@ridzz454]

Can we add a zipper?

[@Chiara-xh9iu]

can I make it with a single color?

[@kelseystapenell5097]

You can. Just continue to single crochet across each row and ignore the steps to change colour

[@KenikseCrochet]

You deffo can!

[@soniamariadesousamarajofre7369]

Como fica o aversso?

[@KenikseCrochet]

I have tutorial on how to sew in lining, where you can see how reversed side looks like 🫶🏼

[@ge62neo]

​@@KenikseCrochetpls give link for sewing lining by hand

[@mehakkhosla1125]

can u use acrylic yarn??

[@kieraadams5244]

Yes!! I am right now and it turns out completely fine!

[@mehakkhosla1125]

also do u think if u don’t know how to sew you could crochet it together?

[@kieraadams5244]

@mehakkhosla1125 I'm not completely sure but I'd say yes, maybe do a slip stitch instead of sewing?

[@rawrright7349]

how much ply is the yarn pls ?

[@ladybugspritz]

it looks like 3? could be 4 with a tighter thread

[@ladybugspritz]

i’m using 4 with a 4.5mm hook and it’s a liiiitle bigger, but this is a “chunkier” 4 out of the others i own

[@rawrright7349]
