    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.

    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

    • @IsabelPost

      You don’t have to chain 2 when doing the sides, the height will just add itself by going in circles :)

    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

    • @IsabelPost
      @IsabelPost  Рік тому

      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 😊

      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 :)

    • @tammy3698
      @tammy3698 5 місяців тому +1

      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

    • @IsabelPost
      @IsabelPost  5 місяців тому +1

      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 :)

      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.

      Yes, just ignore the color changes and keep going around with double crochets in one color :)

      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 :)

      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.
