    Great tutorial! I made a bit bigger of a bag (started with a chain of 45) with a bit softer/ looser of a yarn. The yarn is a medium weight yarn from heartland, so you can tell mines a bit more stretchy and less stable. I would say if you’re going to make this bag, use a similar yarn to hers (a bit thicker and stiffer) even close to a t-shirt/ corded yarn would be good. However if your like me and just trying to get rid of a certain color of yarn or something and it’s softer I’d suggest doubling up (using two strands of yarn to work with) or what I plan on doing is sewing a “satin” liner on the inside so the contents don’t stretch out the yarn.

    • @Annmarie949
      @Annmarie949 7 місяців тому

      I’m back! NEW CROCHET BABIES PLZ READ. I couldn’t figure out why my yarn looked so stretchy and loose, it turns out the whole time I was working in the round, I was crocheting into the back half of my stitches. Make sure your crocheting into the top of the stitch, your V’s should be pointing left, I just spent like 8 hours on this bag and got to the second to last step and realized I was crocheting into the back of the stitch, the v’s facing right. It’s not the creators fault at all I just got confused when looking at the stitches and got ahead of myself not paying attention. Do not do what I did, if you did it’s okay it still looks great just took us longer to get there lol.

    I made a bag like this with a drawstring at the top. I used a long nylon shoe lace, same color as my bag. To make spaces to thread the drawstring through, my last three rows (at top of bag) were: 1st row - single crochet in every stitch around. Join w/ slip stitch. 2nd row - chain 5, *skip next single crochet, then double crochet in the next single crochet, chain 2* repeat from * to * around. Join w/ slip stitch to 3rd chain of the chain 5 that began this round. 3rd row - single crochet in every stitch around. Join w/ slip stitch.

    Do have it be an even line... it is best to single crochet right after you do a half double crochet so it levels out more closer together or the bag won't look even and clean cut.
    Love the video, but of course for me that is one of my pet peeves that bugs me lol

      If your work turns out like this 🔺 then you are skipping loops. If it turns out like a trapezoid (keeps going outwords) then try losing up your first row (the foundation chain) or keeping a good tension for the whole project (not to loose but also not to tight so stay consistent).

    I think that the reason I find it so easy to learn from you is that you are able to take away my fear of failing at crochet! 'There is no right or wrong way, you can do what ever you want' I love when you say that ! - Really? No hard and fast rules? THANK YOU.
    So far I have made a lap blanket out of my stitch practice squares from the beginning, and am so close to finishing my second of two t v watching blankets, this last one is made with the waffle stitch....probably 7 X 3 1/2 feet each. You have been able to give me confidence! I want to make a little girls dress next. It is done solely with single and double crochet, but so cute.

    i loved the way you teach how to work on each row and what will happen if your doing it on different styles or patterns. Those information helped me understand how to crochet properly and neatly. im a beginner but i would like working with different patterns and styles and being working with projects now for 3 months. i really liked your video because its not confusing and it was on a step by step manner. i hope to see more videos of yours like this, and i would like to follow your techniques on how you do your projects. thanks for showing how it should be done and thanks for being generous in telling what will happen if you will do it the other way. :-)
