I made your checkered crochet bag. It took about 7 hours. It is just perfect and so cute! Your tutorial was super easy to follow. This is the first time I've followed a tutorial with no written pattern, and it was great.
Thanks so much! That’s really nice to hear!
Beautiful, Isa. Proud of you🙏🏻❤️

I want to thank you so much for your this since It's easy to follow ur guide
Thanks so much :)
Easy tutorial to follow! I highly recommend watching the whole video first she gives tips if this is one of your first project that I would have loved to watch before just going for it!! Bag is supper big and I love it !
Thanks so much!
I finished this bag a while ago and it is very cute. I often wear it. Thank you
Thanks so much, I’m glad you like it!
When you are changing color for the squares on the sides (a new row) - do you have to chain 2 (so it goes up in height) or do you just keep going in circles? Hope it makes sense😅
Because when you are making the bottom, you chain 2 when starting a new row
You don’t have to chain 2 when doing the sides, the height will just add itself by going in circles :)
Hi, after you made 60 chain and 2 chain more which first stich that you worked for your first double crochet? is that the 60th chain?
Yes, it’s the 60th chain :)
I made the bag but I don't understand how the do the strabs can you make another video and make the straps
Great tutorial thank you so much but when I colour switch do I cut the end of the dark pink?
Thanks! When you switch colors you don’t cut the other color, you work it into your stitches as you go. I hope that helps :)
@@IsabelPost thank you it makes sense now!! 💖
When starting the straps, do you only make a a slip knot with one color? If so, how do you reattach the other color to make the straps both colors again?
Yes, you attach the second color just like you did all the way at the beginning when you added it for the first time.
so do i keep going around or do i chain 2 and do that same thing again?
You keep going around :)
Hello! I trying to follow your tutorial but it feels like my piece isn't really working so i wanted to consult you :) I made 3 lines of squares and now im at the 4th line but my work has a straight structure rather than a bag-like one. I think i couldn't understand how you got to the shape in 07:52. If there are any tips that you could give me it would be great! Thanks
The straight structure is correct for the first row of squares. When you have finished the fourth line of double crochets you start working in the round into every side of the straight structure. I hope that helps 😊
I'm planning on making this to match with an outfit I got I've been crocheting for around sum months now and I'm 10 I was finding more tuts on the checkered bag and i finally found the one I was looking for tysm.!!!!!!!!!!
Ps:am very lazy and I have school I get no time TvT but ill try okay???
That’s so great! Good luck making the bag! :)
I would really like to ad a zipper but idk how to do it on this kind of beg 😢
Hii I have a question, I’m on the second layer of the edge/circle and I’m stuck on the sides. I just didn’t understand if I’m supposed to change colors or not (I’m at the layer after what you did at 7:46 ) and one more thing I rll like your tutorial it’s amazing and tysm!!!♥️🫶🏻
Hey, you do the same color on top of itself for 4 rows and on the 5th row you change to have the opposite color on top of it. I hope that helps! I’m glad you like the tutorial! Good luck finishing the bag ❤️😊
Omg!!! Tysm for replying I rll appreciate it and yeah it rll rll helped and I definitely will come back to another one of your tutorials and videos!!! ♥️♥️🙏🏻
I’m glad I could help ❤️😊
I really loved the tutorial 💗
I recently started doing it but it got messed up idk why. But can you please tell me the total no of foundation chain , it'd really help me out.
Thanks so much! For the foundation chain you need 60 + 2 for the turning chains. I hope that helps 💗
Hi can I make this bag with cotton thread Needle a number3.5 and thank you very much for the tutorial 💗
Of course. Just might want to add some stitches every square and you might have to make an extra row of squares to get it to be the same size, but you can definitely do that :)
@@IsabelPost thank you 💗
how did you tied the bag together? like the bottom and the sides
You make the sides onto the bottom of the bag so, there is no need to attach after
@@IsabelPost thank you 💕
09:26 - straps.
what brand and type of yarn did you use? also ty this was really pretty and helpful
Hi, thanks so much! I use cotton yarn from two Dutch stores called the action and the zeeman.
hii is 100 grams of yarn for each color okay for this kind of project?
Yes 😊
Hello I am 11 years old and I learn crochet in the summer vacation and here I am working on the bag I hope to succeed and also how much did I use Yemeni threads means 2?
Good luck making the bag! :)
I just finished mine. It took me 4 days though 😭.
It turned out pretty cute.
Yay! That’s actually pretty fast! Crocheting always takes me longer than I expect it to. I’m glad you like your bag!❤️
Hi. Can I know the lengths (m) for each yarn? Since both of these yarns are about 120g
It’s about 180 meters per 120g :)
@@IsabelPost thank you 🌸
Hi.. How many double crochet in the each side?
Hey, I don’t understand exactly what you mean, but it’s one double crochet in each stitch.
so i have to make another side an connect them? sorry i really dont get it
No, it’s all made as one piece. First you make the base (the bottom of the bag) and then you make the sides by going around the base.
At the 7:48 i don't understand it , do we go around or we go straight in knitting it, i don't know if you understand what i am saying and pls. Reply because i really need dis
Hi, you just keep going around in circles to build up the sides of the bag. I hope that helps.
how do you transition to and connect the other side of the bag?
You make the sides around the base. So you don’t need to attach the sides, because you make them in a continued loop around the base :)
@@IsabelPost so when i complete the first side, which how do i go back to the bottom to start the other side
You only make one row on the first side, then you go around the base and do the first row on the other three sides. The instruction for the sides are at 4:03. :)

Hello, What’s size of ply the yarn and the hook? Thank u
Hey, it’s a weight 3 yarn and a 4 millimeter crochet hook :)
Guys I don't get it... how do you make your work go around and hollow like a bag? Mine just looks flat
How many chains did you make at the beginning? pls
60 chains + 2 for your first double crochet
Thank u
Can u tell me what's the name of the type of ur bag handle?
I don’t know sorry 😬. It’s kind of in between a shoulder bag and a tote, but I don’t know if this style has a specific name.
How do you make this bag smaller in size?
You make less squares when working on the base of the bag.
What do I do at the straps when the decrease has reached the point where it only has one stitch and I’ve reached the point where it’s going on to its last row of the squares. (I hope you understand what I’m saying)
Hey, do you mean when you have to change to a new color at the end of the row/the end of that square? Could you maybe tell me the timestamp in the video that you are having trouble with? Then I can help you a bit better :)
13:19 for here for the strap right we kept doing decreases at both end and eventually you would reach a part where you are only switching between the colours to get the length of your strap right.
But right before the last row of switching between the colours and making my decrease (this is the third row by the way) I’ve reached the point where the decrease of the other colour no longer have two stitches to go into on the third row of changing colours to complete that square to reach to the part where I’m just going up to form the length of my strap
I think I get what you mean. You have to do a decrease and a color switch at the same time. So you start doing the second to last stitch in that color and when you have the last two loops on your hook your going to go into the last stitch and pull your other color through instead, then make that stitch until you have the last two loops left and then pull through all the loops of both stitches. I hope that helps :)
@@IsabelPostokay thank you sooo much I’m gonna try these instructions and then tell you if it works out😊
Can i make this bag with a little thick yarn 😭❣️iam really confused rn please tell
You can, but if you use thicker yarn the bag will be bigger. So you might have to adjust the pattern a little bit. Make sure you also use the right hook for the yarn ❤️
@@IsabelPost thankew very much this will help me alot 🥺❣️
Hi, how many grams of yarn did you use?
Hi, I used about 150 to 200 grams of yarn :)
im super confused on 5:19, when you say to put 12 stitches on the side but for me there's only 4 because i made 4 rows like u said
You make multiple stitches in each row. You have to see where you can place stitches in the side. The most important thing is that you have 12 in the end. I hope that helps.
tysmm! @@IsabelPost
No problem 😊
how long does this take to make? its super cute
Thanks! I think it took me about 8 to 10 hours total :)
Im so confused like how did u get the other side ? Do i have to do it again ?
First you make the base and then you start going around it in circles. So you make all the sides of the bag at once. I hope that helps.
@@IsabelPost ohh, im sorry im 11 year old beginner, but you just earned a new subscriber, you so wonderful
That so impressive that you are crocheting such a large project at 11! You should be very proud of yourself :) I hope you enjoy making the bag and thanks so much for subscribing.
@@IsabelPost thank youu 💗
How do you go in circles?
Hey im a bit late to the party but how thick is the yarn youre using?
I don’t know what the yarn size is, but my yarn says to use a 4 or 5 millimeter crochet hook. I hope that helps :)
@@IsabelPost it does, thank you! :)
Hello how do we do the bottom below?
Hi, that’s the beginning of the video. The whole bag is made in one piece, so you have to do minimal sewing. You make the bottom first and then you work in the round to make the sides. I hope that helps :)
Hi. Can I use 50 grams of yarn each only?
I think you’ll probably need at least 150 to 200 grams total.
Quantas correntes a mais eu tenho que fazer pra bolsa ficar maior? 😭
Hi, if you don’t want squares you can just add however many extra chains you want to the starting chain of 60. If you do want squares you will have to add at least as many chains that will make up the bottom of the next square. So for example 12 extra chains for a 6th added square. Don’t forget to add the chain 2 after you have your desired amount of chains.
As an 11 year old who is dumber than a pencil in crochet tutorials I found this really helpful,well described and perfect for beginners!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! :)
Can someone tell me how big the size of the bag is if you follow this pattern 🥺
The base of the bag is 30 by 22 centimeters :)
@@IsabelPost thank you so much ❤ love the pattern:)))
is it okay to use only 100 grams for each color?
That should be fine :)
is this 4ply cotton yarn??? or 8ply
I’m not sure, it is worsted weight though.
@@IsabelPost thank you so much! I love your tutorials
Thanks so much!
How many meters yarn is used?
About 380 meters, but it depends on what yarn size you are using :)
what is size of this beautiful bag ?
Hey, the base of the bag is 30 by 22 centimeters.
@@IsabelPost nice. I love it. Thank you so much fyi 😊
Thanks!
What's the size of the yarn please?
Do you mean how many grams or the thickness of the yarn?
@@IsabelPost The thickness.
Do yarns vary in thickness? I am so clueless sorry.
Yes they do. I’m not an expert but this yarn has a little bit of information that says it needs a 4 to 5 millimeter crochet hook. So if your yarn says that you have the right thickness.
@@IsabelPost thanks. I aslo wanted to know.. Um the base , is it a total of 60 chains or 60+2 chains?
im on 4:11 and my bag started curving ;-; i dont know what to do lol
Do you mean the sides? Because those are supposed to be on an angle :)
If that’s not it, you can send me a picture on Instagram and I can see if I can help you figure it out :)
12:19
Did you say 16 or 60?
60 :)
Türkçe altyazısi olmadığı için ağlıyorum 😫
If you press cc, there should be automatic subtitles in English.
Can I make it in 1 color?
Yes, just ignore the color changes and keep going around with double crochets in one color :)
Sorry but it's very confusing tutorial 😢 I tried to make over 5 times but still I cannot work perfectly 😩
Is there anything in particular that you don’t understand? Maybe I can help. I have also already helped a lot of people in the comments, maybe check those to see if they can help :)
Can you please provide written pattern 😭
Not good tutorial.. too short cutted .. can not understand how you went from half to almost completed bag .. wished you made a proper video
That’s okay, I made this as a free tutorial two years ago. A lot of people find it very easy to follow and I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback. There are a lot of other free tutorials on UA-cam if this one doesn’t suit you. Or if you need more in depth instructions there are also many paid patterns on Etsy, those will have way more detail.
I JUST STARTED TH VID BUT NAH U MUST CLARIFY WHAT AMOUNT OF CHAINS I SHOULD MAKE BRUH I CAN GIVE UPDATES SO UH YA
60 chains + 2 chains for your first double crochet
