- Learn how to crochet a super cute and easy reusable market bag. Definitely for beginners because you only have to know how to do a chain, single crochet, and double crochet! This tutorial really is for everyone. Plus, SAVE THE SEA TURTLES! Amiright? I hope you all enjoy this video and thank you all so much for supporting my channel. You all are amazing!!! Enjoy : )
ALSO! A friend actually showed me a picture of a similar bag from Pinterest and asked me to recreate it and that's how I got this bag. But I feel like it is only fair to share their pin so make sure you click the link and support them as well! / 824229169289808125
Also I realize at about 8:00 minutes I said chain instead of single crochet. My bad!
ALSOOO If you like to listen to podcasts while you crochet (like me) and like true crime, then you should listen to the true crime comedy podcast Morbid. They are my favs and I constantly listen to them for hours without realizing it. I hope you guys check them out and enjoy it as much as I do!

Thank you for this... it's so much simpler
Oh thanks a lot for that.
Thank you
Rows 1 to 14 we ch 1 turn and sc in first ch. Or does ch 1 count as a st? Ty in advance x
For the base, I chained 81, since we go into the 2nd chain from hook. I also chain one at the end of each sc round before turning 😄
Cute bag and easy to make. I found that my 3 rows of single crochet at the top were curling, so I only did a SC in the large spaces and it was much better..
i must have done something wrong because the bottom of my bag is slightly bigger than the body, so it curves up in a strange way lol. loved the tutorial btw :)
Mine kinda does the same thing but when I have stuff in it, it stretches out to be just perfect. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
When you go about turning your work. To do that 6 rows that wrap around your project. When you’re going up the sides and are doing that last single crochet in the corner before you turn to the bottom of your project try adding a chain 1 to maybe add a little more slack so the tension isn’t so tight and turns easier. That maaaay help!
@@claudiahelen1 thank you!! i'll try it out next time 😊
I made this bag and it turned out perfectly but I found from experience if you don't keep very careful track of your stitch count in the rows you'll have this issue. Hope this helps
I should have 79 stitches at the end of my foundation row right?
Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is the first time I’ve been able to do something on this level.
Hi, Thank you very much for this tutorial. I am about to start this for my wonderful Sister. I am a total ( Well nearly) beginner so here goes.....😃😃🙏🙏💖💖
That is a stunning little bag! The color looks so sharp. Too cool for a market bag!!
I love this bag!! I made three so far…L/M/S. I’m addicted. So easy. Thank you for the tutorial. 🧶
Wooow that seems so durable! I reaally wanna make it now TvT but i havent finished this sweater im makiiingggg
It's super durable! And good luck on your sweater : ) Making a sweater is definitely on my bucket list
For anyone who raised an eyebrow at the 80 chains… I recommend looking how to crochet the bottom of a bag and then return to the video. less stress and I used double crochet instead of single!
I did 80 chains & it was way too long. Then l did 60 & still too long, like a canoe so lll attempt 40 this time. I'm using a 5mm hook but double strand cotton so it's alittle sturdier in the base 😊
@@lindaryan4389try using a 2mm or something extremely smaller than the recommend hook size
Very pretty bag . I m confused When we have to take 4 chains each corner ? and when we have to take sleep chain ?All 4 Also like to know how much yarn we need for each colour if I make with 2 colours .please guide me thank you
Bravo! Très joli et très bien expliqué,merci👍🏻👵🏻🇨🇭
This is a beautiful bag!! I just made it and it looks super awesome!! Also? Your voice is so nice and relaxing omg you should do asmr
Thank you!
Can’t wait use these for my next grocery trip!
Me too!
Good job on the handles!! Really smart technique
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. V clear & explanations
Thank you!
Very cute bag. I like how you did the handles. I will be trying this. 😊
I love the bag and appreciate the effort its taken to share it with us. I've decided to skip trying to make the bag as there simply isn't enough guidance for a beginner like myself. I really need to know harrow much yarn, if there is a turning chain, and does it count as a stitch? Do I slip stitch to join? When I feel capable of answering those questions for myself. I may come back and give it a try.
Hi there! I used about 350 yards of each color. And each ball of yarn has 425 yards but sadly I think this specific yarn has been discontinued. You do a slip stitch to join. And as for a turning chain, you actually have a couple options. You can do the traditional chain to begin your round/row, and that can count as your single crochet. Or you can not chain at all and place a sc right into the first stitch (but that’s a little harder in my opinion). Or you can chain one and also place a sc into the first stitch. For beginners, the first option is probably the easiest! I hope this helps :)
thanks for sharing the video..your pattern is easy to learn
Well, if you ch 80, then sc in second ch from hook, you don’t have 80 stitches and when you go around on 15th row, you have 13 stitches on the ends. So what I’m wondering is how the number of stitches is going to come out when you do the handle spaces on top. One stitch can throw the whole thing off. Also, this is going to be a huge bag. Do you slip stitch at beginning of rounds. Love your bag, but too many unexplained instructions or number of stitches
for the handles you have to do it two times over right? - so the 140 sc + 8 times around is just for one side of the bag and you have to crochet the same thing for the other two holes on the other side of the bag right?
I love your bag😍 I’m going to try to make some. Thank you for the tutorial 🥰
This is lovely! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I didn’t have that size hook so I used a 3.75 hook and my bag is looking huuuuuge but hopefully it comes together 😅
Hopefully it turns out! Good luck : )
I’m also using a 3.75! I’m a total beginner and have unraveled and restarted a bunch but am trying my best!
how did it come out?
@@tayachesher5284 literally MASSIVE 😂😂. I’m really petite so it looks even more big than it should.
@@LyssAix omg 😂 i started out with a 2.75 but it was taking forever so i switched to a 3.75 and i almost finished the base but it looks HUGE!!
I love this bag! I'm working on my 5th one.
Saving this for later. Looks cool!
I used a 5.00 mm hook. I now know the importance of hook sizes lmao
Nice bag love the handles
Here from Tiktok
how many grams of yarn did you use?
I absolutely love this bag. I have one question though. When we get to the “mesh” area of the bag you don’t show the second row where we sc into the post. Where do you insert your hook? I’m getting an unsightly gap between the top and bottom posts. I notice your example does not have an opening where the posts meet. I’d include a photo but don’t see that as an option.
How much wool balls did you use?
I need to know how much I have to buy.
I used about half for the lower colour and three quarters for the upper bag colour. Both yarns are 8ply, 100g
Hi! Do i need to chain one before proceeding to the next row?
hello! im curious on how you color switched, when/how did you add the 2nd color?
Thank you! This was really helpful ❤️
Very clear tutorial , thank you for sharing .I like crochetting too
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I love how my bag came out :)
Yay! I love hearing that. Thank you for your feedback:)
Did your become round ???
@@heaven6354 it came out just like the bag in the tutorial
@@boluoresegun4713 how long did it take ?
@@heaven6354 it took me around 3 days with breaks in between due to the small sized crochet hook
Love the bag! But I didn’t hear *how much* yarn to buy. I looked at the transcript and your description, didn’t see it there, either! Anybody know??
I have a question...
I'm not englisch speaking, I hope you Will understand...
You finisched the 10 rows and you start to make your bag. Chrochet around....
Do you put 2 stich in de same stich on the corner?
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Do you have instagram? I want to tag you for the bag that I made 😊
Every time I make this bag my handles end up crooked. I am very careful when I join my chain together to make sure flat sides are together. I can’t understand why they always end up twisted. Any suggestions?
Very nicely donee. I also have a ton of this yarn so now Im super excited to see how mine turns out. :)
How do you do the colour change?
Very clear explanation, thanks!
How many skeins did you buy to make the bag?
Easy way to do it thanks a lot 😍🌷👏🏻
this is such a cute bag omg i love it sm thank you 😊
What are the dimensions of the finished bag? I really like the design but I don't want a huge bag
Hi, how much yarn do I need for this bag? Thank you 🌸
I am looking through the comments, trying to find the answer to that very same question.
For the straps: once you have finished conjoining one side how do you get to the other side. (If that makes any sense)
I just cut my yarn and wove in the tail and started on the other side with a brand new strand of yarn. Hopefully this is what you meant. :)
@@HerScience oh great thank you!
Are you adding a chain 1 when you turn, on the initial 14 row base?
On the 6 rounds around are you slip stitching to connect each row, or just keep going around in circle.
Hello! I believe I did add a chain on the initial 14 row base. And on the 6 rounds around you can finish with a slip stitch or not. It is up to you. Either will work. I added a slip stitch but sometimes I wish I didn’t because I don’t like having a line of stitches that look different than all the rest. But like I said it is totally up to you! :)
When turning I put it in the second chain like you did in the first round. I now read that you added an extra chain. Can I still finish the bag like this or do I have to start over?
Hey I’m a little confused about the beginning rows. So after you finish the first row and continue on with the next 13, do you have to skip the two chain in every beginning row? Thank you so much in advance❤️❤️
Someone posted written directions in the comments. But for the sc base rows, I did I ch 1 then a sc in the next stitch. You should have the same number of single crochet for each row. Hope that helps.
It is very pretty bag. What the size of finished bag ?
Great tutorial . My bag is commi g along nicely
Wonderful!
I never knew knitting was such mind f**kery
Hi the starting chains 80.
Grear help will do eco bag like this later super like
So sweet! Thank you
I’m stuck! I can’t visualize what you mean when you say to slip stitch at the end of the first row before you chain 4 to start the next row?
Hello! So what I meant is that to finish your row, you’ll place a slip stitch into the first stitch of that row to finish that row. Then, to continue onto the next row, you’ll chain four. The first two chains ‘represent’ a double crochet. Does this help?
I'm just curious, what do you do with the tail at the base? The one that you get from the slip knot. Do you weave it in?
Yes! That is exactly what I do :)
What are the dimensions for this bag?
Is there a written pattern I can follow along with?
I chained 140 for my handle and the 8 rows. After you finish off the handles they to short to put over your shoulder? Am I doing it wrong?
Hello! Because I use my bag mainly for groceries and such I didn’t make my handles very long to fit over my shoulders. But that is definitely something that you can alter the pattern for! If I were you I would experiment and play around with how long you want the handles to be. They will most likely be a few hundred chains long. Happy crocheting!
Hey you should have shown us how you switched yarn colours. I'm too beginner to know ahaha
Thank you for this suggestion! I actually have a video on my channel on how to seamlessly change colors if you want to check it out : )
Are the loops for the handle meant to line up in the center? I couldn't fit 28 more sc at the end of the first row with the handle loops, and now the loops are off to one side of the bag.
Yes they are meant to line up in the center so weight doesn’t shift to one side when carrying it. I would definitely suggest altering the pattern to fit your bag best :)
Hi there do you have a video on how to change your wool colors on a mesh stitch?
I don’t! I haven’t tried it myself, but I think it will be the same concept as a regular color change. ua-cam.com/video/1YahM7RQTZg/v-deo.html
That’s the link to my video on color changes
If that video doesn’t help let me know and I can make a video specifically for the mesh stitch and upload it :)
Question when your done with the 14 on bottom then need to add 6 more rows do you slip Stitch when getting back to the beginning
Yes!
I like this one a lot! I think I’ll subscribe. 😊👍
I’m really struggling with how to end and begin each row of the body of the bag. I’ve watched the video several times and tried to do it but it’s all wrong. Anyone? Help please.
How many garn will be needed?
How much yarn does this bag take? If you said I missed it. Sorry
hey i would love to know how yarn you needed.... like approximately. just for the shopping list. i really like that bag design!
Hello! So the yarn that I used is Loops and Threads Creme Cotton yarn but it has since been discontinued :( But I used approximately 300 yards of each color. I hope this helps!
Love it
i’m kind of lost :(( how do you move on to the 2nd row of the body?? like where do i insert my hook? i’m trying to figure it out on my own but it just ends up being wonky :( im so confused, pls help. 🙁
Hi there! So the easiest way to do it is to start off your first row with four chains. The first two chains will “represent” a double crochet. Then you will finish the first row. To finish the first row, insert your hook into the second chain (from your initial set of four chains) and place a slip stitch. Then to begin the second row, chain four again. Then yarn over, insert your hook into the first large space that was created when you chained two in the previous row, then finish the double crochet, and repeat. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further explanation! :)
@@HerScience thank you so much for explaining it so precisely. looking forward to finishing this project. take care!!
What is the yardage needed?
I'm using DK yarn and a 3.5 hook ( no idea if that will work lol) obviously my foundation chain will be different so what multiple shall I use. Or how many cm should I make it. Ty 🥰
The dimensions of your bag are totally up to you and changeable. Mine ended up being just about 34 centimeters across. Just add or take away chains in the very beginning to determine how long across you want your bag to be : )
@@HerScience ty so much for your reply. Thats my sunday taken care of 🥰
Is the strap big enough to go over the shoulder?
If it does it would probably be a pretty tight fit so if you’re wanting a shoulder bag I would definitely make the straps longer! Good luck :)
For the first 14 rows, does the chain count as the first single or should I do a single in the first spot next to the chain? My edges are always wonky.
That’s up to you. Whatever you choose just make sure to keep it the same for every row and that should help. But I alwaysss have the problem of a wonky edge because of this so I feel you. For this I believe I counted the chain as the first sc.
hello! for my chains, i did 50 instead of 80 because i am using a 4 mm hook, because the ‘measurements’ for the chains don’t match up, can you give me the measurements of the 28 chains you did when you were doing the handle? or approximately how much of the top row it ‘took up’ for example it took up half, or it took up a third or 2/5 etc!
The ratio of 50 : 80 is the same as 17.5 : 28 So I would suggest doing approximately 17-18 chains for the handle. I’m not sure if that will exactly correspond to your bag but I hope that helps.
@@HerScience thank you! you must be good at math to calculate that haha 🤣
What is the size when it’s done I did the foundation and it looks like a huge bag
Mine ended up being 13.5 inches long and 14 inches tall. But I used a thin yarn and a very small hook. I hope this helps :)
What are the dimensions
Im doing this bag right now and Im missing more detailed info. I dont know how many stiches should I have in each round, how to connect rounds etc. I cannot control if Im doing good or wrong. This video is for good crocheters, not for beginner.
she says everything you’re having issues with in the video. you’re just not picking it up
@@ava-nc9px no lmao she genuinely just doesn’t explain and demonstrate very well
when i'm doing my forst 14 rows, do i need to add an additional single chain before zig-zaggying back to do another row?
It’s not completely necessary but I find it makes the first sc easier and the edges are a little straighter
can you provide another video with you adding rows on the body?
Love this bag 😁
Can I use dk yarn?
Ty xx
For sure! Use whatever yarn you like. Just remember to adjust the amount of chains you make in the beginning based on how stretchy the yarn is and how big the yarn is :) Don’t feel like you can’t experiment a little with how big you want your bag to be by starting and restarting a few times! Happy crocheting
@@HerScience fab. Ty. I'll experiment the day away 😁
How much yarn does the bag take? I don't know how much to buy and yes. I will be using a 2mm hook.
Do you think I could use a stitch marker to make it easier for keeping track of the stitches? Or would that mess smt up? :)))
That would probably help!
I REALLY NEED SOME HELP. How do I combine the white because I am very new to Crocheting and I have never fused two colors togather. So if someone can guide me on how to do that it would really help.
Hey, I believe she has a vid on that's here's the link, I hope your project turns out amazing! 🤍 ua-cam.com/video/1YahM7RQTZg/v-deo.html
Is it possible to obtain a written pattern of instructions for this project?
Sure thing! I'll work on putting one in the description : )
@@HerScience Good morning. I was wondering if maybe I over looked the written directions, have you posted the directions somewhere? Thank you!!
Thankyou so very much for your simple directions. Just a quick question. When the base is completed plus the 6 sides, does it get turned inside out or just leave it? So the wrong side stays on the outer?
It’s up to you. I made this so long ago it’s hard to remember but I think I turned it inside out so that right side was facing out. Hope this help 😅 good luck!
Perhaps u could re-look over yr tute then y'll be able to spot what y've done. I'm a novice so l haven't the foggiest.
It would've been helpful to see how you do the second row of the body of the bag... You didnt mention how to do it
Noted! :)
May I use wool also please tell me
I think wool would be super awesome to try for this project!
Thanks
Hi! how much yarn did you use for 1 bag?
I used a wholeee lot it seems like haha but that because I used such a small hook. The yarn that I used is called Loops and Threads Creme Cotton Yarn and it has 432 yards in a single ball of yarn. So I believe I used at least 325 yards of each color. Hope this helps : ) Happy Crocheting
Is there an approximate amount of yarn needed to complete? Meters/ Yards?
I used a wholeee lot it seems like haha but that because I used such a small hook. The yarn that I used is called Loops and Threads Creme Cotton Yarn and it has 432 yards in a single ball of yarn. So I believe I used roughly 325 yards of each color. Hope this helps!
Are the stitch counts going to be the same if you use the recommended size hook?
Yes, the product will just be larger
Can anyone tell me the measures in centimetres of the bag please??? Thanks
Base-34cm
Tall-36cm
#from previous comment
@@lama3824 thank you so much
Can you show how you changed colors?
I actually have a video on my channel explaining how I do my color changes. ua-cam.com/video/1YahM7RQTZg/v-deo.html
^^ here’s the link
But basically at the end of the round (the round before you want to switch colors) instead of placing the slip stitch with your current color to finish the round, you’re going to insert your hook where you would normally to finish your round, and yarn over with your new color and pull the new color through. The new color should be on your hook and you can take scissors and cut off your old color and begin working with your new color like nothing even changed :) I hope this made sense and good luck!
Hi! :) so we make two straps per side of the bag right?
Hello! So it is one strap per side of the bag. You're going to make one big long chain and loop in through the two holes you made the for handle straps (it will make a circle after you connect the last chain to the first chain). After you are done crocheting all the rows for the strap, then you are going to fold the strap in half (making a half circle) and then connect each layer with a slip stitch on the sides. Hopefully this makes more sense : )
@@HerScience Oh awesome! Yes that makes sense. :) Thank you and thank you for tutorial!
I forgot to chain 4 at the beginning of each row when working on the body 🤦♀️ is there a way to fix it without ripping out all of my rows?
Oh gosh! I hate it when I do that as well. Did you happen to only chain two instead of four at the beginning of each row?
Yes just two. I just kept chaining two and then going into the double crochets.
I did the same thing for a bunch of my rows on accident too. I decided not to go back and fix any of them because it took such a long time. But looking back on my bag now, it is very hard to tell the difference between the stitches I did correctly and the ones that I messed up on so I am happy I didn't spend the time going back to fix it. That is all the advice I can give because I can't think of a way to fix it without undoing all the rows. I hope this helps!
I’ll just start adding them now and hopefully not forget anymore lol thank you so much!
Do you have a tutorial for how to change color yarn?
Yes! ua-cam.com/video/1YahM7RQTZg/v-deo.html
The only problem is Im
Not sure if you are suppose to stitch any at the end to turn to the next row of the first 14 rows.. you never did say.. you just said to chain 80 then do single crochet then do 14 rows.. am I wrong??
You’re totally right that I should have been more descriptive. At the end of each row I placed a slip stitch into the very first stitch from that row to finish that row. Then, you can either chain one (in place of a single crochet) to begin the next row, or you can stretch out the loop on your hook ever so slightly and place a single crochet into the first stitch for that row. I hope this made sense and answered your question :)
@@HerScience okay that’s basically what I did so thanks
Hey what do I do if my handles are twisted after doing my second row of single crochets.. It wasn't twisted at the start.. Do I need to redo it from the beginning?
Could I do 140 rows of 8 stitches instead for the handles and then join the ends and close up the sides?
Hello! So when I did my bag (way back when) I accidentally twisted my first row too and I didn’t want to go back and fix it so I just started working into the stitches as it they weren’t twisted and it turned out fine. But you can also do 140 rows of 8 stitches and it would turn out the same :)
