I had already made 4 small crotchet bags & I have now altered & done the draw strings just like you have shown !, Do you know they are so cute . Thanks again xx
What a wonderful way to close and open a drawstring bag. I absolutely love this idea. Thank you so much for sharing. Think I will be adding this to ALL my drawstring bags.
I used to make draw string bags all the time using #10 doily thread. They're so handy for holding marbles used in board games like Agrevation or Mancala. I suppose a larger bag would be needed for the marbles of a Chinese Checkers set. I'm feeling a bit inspired and might have to make myself a little project bag. 😊 Thank you! 💕
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to find instructions for this! My mom knew how to do it, and showed me a long time ago but I couldn’t remember and she’s gone now. I’m so happy!
Hi Anja, made a couple for my daughter and grand daughter. I’m using them for Easter place settings Thank you for the idea. See you on the live really soon
As soon as i saw this video the other day, i went straight and start this drawstring bag project immediately. And i just finished it now ! Its so pretty. Thank u so much for this tutorial anja ❤️
Oh what a gorgeous little bag with such a clever, yet simple trick to it! Cuuuute! Terri at YarnJoy Podcast showed her bag & gave us a link to your tutorial!🥰 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
Love this. Thank you for the inspiration, I have already made several with plans for more. FYI: I created a defined bottom by stitching single crochet post stitches. I wanted it to stand up, if you will. I like it both ways, depending on your intended use. Thanks again. Stay well, healthy and safe!!
What are you doing to me Anja I have so many of your projects started 🙈 and now this one!! its perfect and I will be giving this a go thank you so much Anja xx
This looks pretty nice. I haven’t crocheted In a while and I’m having some trouble crocheting in the round with double crochet. It seems in some rounds I have to count the starting chain, but not in others. I feel like there’s something I’m not getting. By the way, we hold our crochet hooks and yarn very similar. I just started watching crochet videos and am surprised by the grips others use.
Hi Ophelia or Anja: I really enjoy your crochet tutorials. Everything that you do is so precise and wonderfully done. I particularly like all your pouches that you make. I am a lover of pouches and my daughter sews pouches for me, but I really like crochet pouches. This last pouch is really lovely and very ingenious, when I was watching it I just couldn't figure how you made the closing and opening, but leave to you Ophelia or Anja you made it just so wonderful. I thought I would drop you a short line to express my appreciation of your work. Take care and keep up the good work. shirley40
My son is turning 7 in a couple months and something he was talking about was an adventure bag… do you think I could add straps like a back pack for this? (I know I would have to make it bigger as well) It’s just the best bag I have seen and I love that it’s magic !
It’s witchcraft Anja. Love how simple it is to open the bag 🧙♀️. I just couldn’t work out how it would work. Is your new cotton yarn like king Cole to use ?
Anja..?? do you know how to do these circles in a way that you DON'T end up with the straight sides..?? there is a way to go round and keep it round...you alternate where you do the increase stitches and your circle stays round instead of becoming a hexagon (or whatever it's called when more sides)
Hello Christine, I'm sorry but although I can and do use both terms, I feel I must stick to the US terms as I always use them, and my viewers expect that of me now. Anja x
Do you think this is strong enough to hold a cell phone? I assume cotton yarn would be stronger for this. Edit: could we use the closing drawstrings as a wrist strap?
So simple a thing to add to this bag to make it so magical! or maybe how to upgrade your drawstring bag?? Enjoy making it! Anja x
Please let us know the finished measurements (or approximate) of this bag please? Thank you in advance 💜
The bag is so cute. What a fun ingenuous idea. I could see myself playing with my strings.
Ha ha, yes it's very addictive! Anja x

Hi Anja I’ve just finished making this bag for my nephew to put his keys in and it turned out superb. Thank you so much.

You are so welcome! Anja x
Anja, you’re a genius! ❤️❤️❤️

If you attach a safety pin to the end of the yarn you can weave it easily. Just a suggestion. Cute and wonderful item.
That’s what I do! I’ve kept a nice sized nappy pin from years ago,for this very purpose 👍

Wonderful Leanne, enjoy, and thank you, Anja x
Wow have adorable!! Do you think you could show how to make one larger in mosaic please?
Thank you so much for sharing this Anja!! Simple delightful!!
Great idea! I'll put it on the list! Anja x
Genius!
That's clever❤️
It’s witchcraft Anja. Love how simple it is to open the bag 🧙♀️. I just couldn’t work out how it would work. Is your new cotton yarn like king Cole to use ?
Yes, it is Janey, it's lovely! Anja x
Oh my goodness this is sooooo adorable! I have to make one of these. Where do I get the beads?
Hi Karen, I bought mine locally, but you can find them on Amazon or Etsy for instance, or there's shops like Hobbycraft, Hobby Lobby etc, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks what size beads?
Anja..?? do you know how to do these circles in a way that you DON'T end up with the straight sides..?? there is a way to go round and keep it round...you alternate where you do the increase stitches and your circle stays round instead of becoming a hexagon (or whatever it's called when more sides)
Can you do UK Terms as well as USA please
Hello Christine, I'm sorry but although I can and do use both terms, I feel I must stick to the US terms as I always use them, and my viewers expect that of me now. Anja x
😍😍😍😍
Could you please give sizes for the beads
please Anja. Thank you
The ones I used are 12mm, hope this helps, Anja x
Do you think this is strong enough to hold a cell phone? I assume cotton yarn would be stronger for this.
Edit: could we use the closing drawstrings as a wrist strap?
Yes it would be perfect for things like phones and purse etc, and you could indeed use them as a wrist strap.
Thank you, Anja x
