    I would say I am a beginner and have never done the star stitch but decided to just jump in and give it a go. I am now half way through and this tutorial is very easy to follow with very clear instructions. I can’t wait to finish and make more. Thank you 🌟

    This video is really helpful. It’s quick and easy and works up quickly. I’m making it for my aunt and I’m sure she’ll love it! It took less than a day and the star stitch looks really cool. I was able to do this and I just started crochet like a month ago and I am a beginner. Thanks for making this video

    Sending feelings of hope to the Ham family. I'm at 21:14 into this video and Melanie is holding up a rainbow bag. Outside my widow appears the most gorgeous rainbow after a storm! This is also right after I watched Robert's gorgeous film about Melanie and their family. It might be a coincidence, or...

    This tutorial and pattern were just amazing. Thank you. I modified it slightly by doing a solid color for the base and a separate color for the top part of the bag. I also put a star on the side of it and made it a bit shorter. Truly just a wonderful bag and a perfect christmas gift. Thank you again.

    Love this project! I'm already on my second bag but I keep running onto a problem. I find that in the first row of stars I make 30 and then in the second i have 31. I'm not sure where I'm fitting in one extra star.

    • @28pinkdancer
      @28pinkdancer 3 роки тому +1

      so she is putting a hdc into the slip stitch from the previous round. slip stitches do NOT count as stitches so placing a hdc there will create an extra stitch every round. if you go back in her tutorial she says to make sure that you SKIP the first hdc that was placed in the slip stitch. this is most likely why you have 31 starts rather than 30, but it could be something else. i hope this makes sense!
