Im an intermediate in crocheting and i absolutely loved this project. It took me a lot longer than anticipated but i thoroughly enjoyed. It didn't turn out as neat as yours but i'll be adding a lining inside.
Thank you so much for this tutorial fav project so far
You're very welcome! I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the project, even if it took a bit longer than expected.

i have just finished making this tote bag. although i must say the handle was a little bit short for my taste. i did 100 chains but it still was not long enough. although this was a very lovely tutorial. it was my first crochet project and i found it very easy to understand and do. thanks. 🤗🥳
Congratulations on completing your first crochet project! 🎉 That's a fantastic accomplishment, and it's great to hear that you found the tutorial easy to follow. Crocheting can be such a rewarding and creative hobby.
Regarding the handle length, it's common for individual preferences to vary. If you'd like a longer handle for your tote bag in the future, you can certainly adjust the number of chains to make it more to your liking. It's all about customizing your projects to suit your style and needs. Keep up the great work, and I'm sure your crochet skills will continue to improve with each new project you take on. 🤗😊🧶 Happy crafting! 🥳

Sehr schön 😍👍
Danke schön! 😊 Ich freue mich, dass es dir gefällt! Wenn Sie weitere Fragen haben oder mehr über das Häkeln erfahren möchten, helfe ich Ihnen gerne weiter. 🧶 Viel Spaß beim Häkeln
I've done a couple of your tutorials now, and as a new crochet-er, I've really admired how you hold your yarn in your left hand. I usually use my first finger to hold tension & after awhile my hand feels tired. Your hold looks so natural & comfortable. How do you keep the tension in your yarn?
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you've been enjoying my tutorials😊❤
Holding your tension and getting hand cramps is a very common problem for beginners.
The more you crochet, the more your hand will get used to holding the yarn and maintaining tension. As you gain experience, your hands will find a more comfortable and efficient position.
@@AdoreCreaCrochethey!
I crochet alot since Years but since i work in Retail normally , my Wrists hurt alot so, would you recommend a Yarn Bowl for tension? ❤😊
Made this bag according to your instructions . Thank you. How can I put a lining inside ? This will make the bag more strong.
Hi, thanks for your comment. Nice to hear that you have benefited from my video tutorial and have used it to create a bag.🙂 I would recommend that you take the inside measurements of the bag and cut some solid fabric according to the measurements with seam allowance included. Sew the parts together, press the top edge down and hand sew the lining to the inside of the bag.
I have a question for you, I've now watched more of your tutorials and the beautiful yarns that you use. And i wanted to ask where do you buy your yarn from?
Thank You very much for your comment. I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying my tutorials and the yarns I use in my projects! I often use Yarn from Drops Design. And I buy all of my yarn in online stores here in Denmark where I live. But Drops yarn is also available in many other countries and on Amazon.com.
@@AdoreCreaCrochet Thank you so much!😊💖
Me encanta esta trabajo! Es precioso!! Se tiene que forrar el bolso por dentro?❤❤❤
Muchas gracias por tu amable comentario.🥰 Lo aprecio mucho. Depende de usted si desea forrar la bolsa. Puede ser una ventaja hacerlo, para fortalecer la bolsa y hacerla más estable. Pero personalmente no he optado por invertir en él.❤
Muchas gracias! Me encanta su canal! Y gracias a la traduccion puedo seguir sus trabajos❤❤❤
OMG it looks so cute 🥰 ❤❤❤ thanks a million for the pattern. Can you tell me how tall and wide was each square please 😊
I'm thrilled to hear that your project turned out cute! The size of each bag can vary depending on factors like your yarn weight, hook size, and tension. If you made your square following my tutorial, it's likely around 4 (10 centimeters) wide and tall. However, to get an accurate measurement for your specific square, you can use a ruler or measuring tape to measure it directly. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
Thank you for sharing your work, it is easy to understand.
May i ask what kind of yarn do you used? How many grams to finish the project?
Thank you in advance ❤️❤️❤️
Thank You very much for your kind words😊 You are very welcome❤ I used Drops Paris approximately 400 grams.
Thank you very much, Ma'am. Pls. Don't stop sharing your works ❤️❤️❤️
Do you have a written pattern you could share too? I've watched the video to learn the granny square, but a written pattern would help me too. Beautiful project! Thank you!
Thank You very much 🙂 I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the project! am sorry to say that I do not have a written pattern for this project.
But if you have any further questions to the project, I will be happy to assist you. Happy crocheting!❤😊
Hi i love this and i was wondering if blocking the squares is necessary for the bad?
Hi there! 🥰I'm glad you love the project! Blocking can help to give your squares a more polished and even look, especially if they tend to curl or if you want them to all be the same size. It's not strictly necessary, but it can make a big difference in the final appearance of your bag. If you're new to blocking, there are various methods you can try, such as wet blocking or steam blocking. Feel free to ask if you need any tips or guidance on how to block your squares effectively!
Nice instructions 2ish u showed how to attach to the back panel
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you liked the instructions. I'll make sure to include a step-by-step guide on how to attach the squares to the back panel in one of my next tutorials. Stay tuned! 😊🧶
Hi, this is lovely! Thank you for sharing this tutorial. May I know what’s the size of the bag and how many grams of yarn did you use?
Hi there! I'm delighted that you found the tutorial lovely. The size of the bag and the amount of yarn used can vary based on individual preferences and the specific yarn you are using.
Happy crafting! ❤😊
I just started today, I hope I finish in time for Christmas so I can give it as a gift! How exactly do you have to assamble the side granny squares to the front and back? Thanks in advance!
That's fantastic that you've started your project! To assemble the side granny squares to the front and back, you can follow the steps that are shown in the video 21:04 minutes into the video.
Good luck with your project, and I hope you finish it in time for Christmas! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.😊❤
I love this pattern and great work! I have just realised I have been crocheting the sqaures without the ch 1 spaces and I don't want to have to start again. Would it still turn out right if I didn't do the sc into the ch 1 spaces on the top border of the bag and instead the stitches totalled up to 112 instead of 136? Just a little bit unsure. Thank you!
Thank you so much🥰 It's great to hear that you love the pattern! Don't worry too much if you've made a small adjustment. If you've been crocheting the squares without the chain 1 spaces, it might affect the overall size and shape slightly, but it shouldn't drastically alter the appearance of the finished bag.😊
@@AdoreCreaCrochet You're very welcome and okay that's good to know, thank you very much for your help 🙂
Hi, thanks a lot gor this amazing tutorial ! One question : Can you plrase tell me what is the size of your smaller hook ? I did not find the info. Thanks a lot 🤗
I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful! The size of the smaller hook used in the tutorial is 4mm. Feel free to experiment with different hook sizes to achieve the look and feel you want. Happy crafting! 🧶✨
beautiful! do you line your bag? also, I have crocheted a bag with double strand, I have not yet crocheted a bag with single yarn but I am sure once lined it would def reinforce, strengthen and prevent the bag from stretching
Thank you! 🥰Lining your bag is a great idea-it adds stability and durability, especially if you've crocheted with a single strand. It can reinforce the structure and prevent stretching over time. Plus, it offers a polished, finished look. If you decide to line your bag, consider using a sturdy fabric that complements your crochet work. Happy crafting! 😊
I would love to know where you bought the threads, thank you very much!
Hi there🙂 i live in Denmark so bought the yarn at a local shop. But Drops Paris is available on amazon US and all over Europe and may other places aswell.
Hi!could you pls tell me how much yarn did you use for this project? Thank you for the tutorial!
Hi 😊 Im sorry but i don´t exactly remember, but i do mention it in the beginning of the video. You are very welcome for the tutorial, and thank you for commenting❤
Hi! Amazing tutorial. I'm at the part where I'm doing the rows on top. I'm brand new at crocheting so maybe I'm confused but looking at the slip stitch you did after completing the first row (24:45) it adds an extra stitch into that row? Does that mean each row will have one extra stitch from the row below it?
Hi🤗 Thank you so much ❤️ The slip stitches are only to join the rounds. They will never count as a stitch, so do not work into those.
Best of luck with your project 🥰
Hi! Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is my first crochet project ever so sorry if this is a silly question - but how do you weave in the ends with this specific design? Thank you 🌸
Congratulations on starting your first crochet project! Weaving in ends is an important step to ensure your work stays secure and looks neat. Here's how you can weave in ends for the daisy granny square tote bag:
Thread the yarn tail onto a yarn needle: Cut a length of yarn from your project, leaving a tail of about 4-6 inches.
Weave in the tail on the wrong side: Turn your work to the wrong side (the side that won't be visible when you're using the tote bag).
Insert the yarn needle under the stitches: Thread the yarn needle through the stitches on the back of your work, going back and forth for a few stitches. Make sure to weave in the tail in different directions to secure it.
Trim the excess yarn: Once you're confident that the tail is securely woven in, trim any excess yarn close to your work, being careful not to cut the stitches.
Repeat for other ends: Repeat this process for any other yarn ends you have from joining squares or changing colors.
By weaving in the ends in this way, you'll ensure that your tote bag looks neat and the ends won't unravel with use.
If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! Happy crocheting and enjoy making your daisy granny square tote bag! 🌼🧶
Love the pattern and idea of a bag looks great, I have had several attempts but my wool splits and my square doesn’t look like the tutorial, the stitches seems loose, I’ve tried a smaller book, but there is no way, if I make a bag it would keep its shape, I would have to line with a natural tote bag or similar, any advice would be gratefully received. By the way I am using the same yarn as used in video.
I'm glad you like the pattern and concept of the bag! 😊It sounds like you're putting in a lot of effort despite the challenges. Dealing with splitting yarn and loose stitches can be frustrating, but don't worry, there are ways to troubleshoot these issues.
Firstly, make sure you're using the appropriate hook size for the yarn you're using. If the hook is too small, it can cause the yarn to split and the stitches to be tight. Conversely, if the hook is too large, it can lead to loose stitches.
Secondly, pay attention to your tension while crocheting. Try to maintain a consistent tension throughout your work. This might take some practice, but it can greatly improve the appearance of your stitches.
Lastly, if you're concerned about the bag maintaining its shape, lining it with a natural tote bag or similar material is a great idea! Not only will it add stability to the bag, but it can also give it a professional finish.
Keep experimenting and don't get discouraged! Crocheting is all about practice and patience. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance. You're doing great!❤🤗
Thanks to you, I’m up to the stage where I’d like to line that bag. Do you have a tutorial ican check out?
You're very welcome, and I'm delighted to hear that you've made it to the stage where you'd like to line your crochet bag! Adding a lining can not only enhance the bag's durability but also give it a more polished look.
While I don't have the capability to provide specific links or URLs, you can find many tutorials on how to line a crochet bag by searching online. To get you started, here are the general steps you would typically follow:
Gather Your Materials:
Fabric for the lining
Sewing machine or needle and thread
Pins
Scissors
Measuring tape
Iron and ironing board
Measure and Cut the Fabric:
Measure the inside of your crochet bag to determine the size of the lining needed.
Add some extra fabric for seam allowances.
Prepare the Fabric:
Iron the fabric to remove any wrinkles.
Fold the fabric in half, right sides facing each other.
Sew the Sides:
Sew the sides of the fabric together, leaving the top open.
You can use a sewing machine or hand-sew it.
Attach the Lining:
Turn the lining right side out.
Place it inside your crochet bag to check the fit.
Use pins to secure the lining in place, ensuring it's evenly distributed and aligning with the top edge of your crochet bag.
Stitch the Lining to the Bag:
Carefully hand-sew or machine-sew the top edge of the lining to the top edge of your crochet bag.
Finishing Touches:
Trim any excess fabric if needed.
Make sure all seams are secure.
It's always a good idea to check out video tutorials or detailed guides online for a visual demonstration. Many craft websites and video platforms like UA-cam offer step-by-step instructions on how to line crochet bags. You can search for "how to line a crochet bag" to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences. Happy lining, and I hope your crochet bag turns out beautifully! 😊🧶
@@AdoreCreaCrochet 👍😘
Hi, if I want to add cloth lining inside the bag, should I sew the lining first before attaching all the sides and bottom?
Adding a cloth lining to the bag is a great idea! To make it more sturdy. I would make the lining after assembling the pieces, then you can take the exact measurements inside the bag, and ude them to make the pattern for the lining.
Bets of luck with your project. Im sure it will turn out great🥰

🥰❤️
What kind of yarn is the best for a totebag? I’m afraid of it not being able to hold alot of weight - and it unravelling. I have both acrylic and cotton yarn. And is it safe just to weave in the ends? Or use som kind of knot? Alot of questions, I know 😅 Thank you in advance 🩷✨😊
Choosing the right yarn for a tote bag is important, especially if you're concerned about its strength and durability. Both acrylic and cotton yarns can be suitable, but they have different characteristics.
Acrylic Yarn:
Pros: Acrylic yarn is often more budget-friendly, comes in a wide range of colors, and can be quite durable.
Cons: It might not have the natural feel of cotton, and it can be less breathable.
Cotton Yarn:
Pros: Cotton yarn is natural, breathable, and has a softer feel. It's also durable and can hold up well to weight.
Cons: Cotton yarn may be a bit heavier than acrylic, and it can sometimes be more expensive.
When making a tote bag, consider the purpose and your preferences. If you want a lightweight bag, acrylic might be a good choice. If you prefer a more natural feel and don't mind a bit more weight, cotton is a great option.
I recommend that you both tie knots and weave in the end afterwards.
Feel free to experiment with small swatches using both yarn types and securing methods to see which combination you prefer for your tote bag. And don't worry about asking questions - that's how we learn! If you have any more, feel free to ask. 😊🧶
Hi! Im a beginner at crocheting and I watched your tutorial and it seemed easy and pretty simple how you explained it, however, when it came to attaching the front and back to the tote bag, I didn’t really understand how you did it. You showed that the last 9 pieces should be sewn together and be sewn around the edges on the big front piece. You don’t show a lot at that part, which got me a little confused, but after you sew all the edges around together, how do I sew the middle back part? That’s all I wanted to know, and I really want to try this pattern, but I just don’t understand that part 😭 Thanks for a good tutorial tho! The timestamp of the showing is at around 21:20, so you know that I mean.
Hi there,
Thank you very much for your comment.
You will attach the back side to the bag exactly the same way as the front side. 🙂
Hi! Thanks a lot for a tutorial. I’ve just bought Alize Bella yarn for it, but it’s thinner than the one in the video. Would it be a problem? It’s my first projects, so I have doubts if I need to buy another yarn 😅
Hi🥰You are very welcome. Im glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Ehen using some thinner yarn the bag will be a bit smaller, when using this pattern. You could make the sqaures larger by adding another round, like i did i this video: ua-cam.com/video/YxxICTrLc8U/v-deo.htmlsi=yBLSm-OdQGXccFuf
Best of luck with your project😊
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you so much! The result is great - I'm so happy with this bag :)
Hi,
Wonderful work and explanation as always! Is there any chance you will upload a video about a simple tote bag, without granny squares? :)
Thank you for your kind words! 🥰 I'm glad you've been enjoying the tutorials. While I don't have a video specifically about a simple tote bag without granny squares at the moment, I can certainly consider creating one in the future. It sounds like a great project🤗
@@AdoreCreaCrochet Sounds great, will be checking your channel for videos. Have a nice week :)
Hi - what green do you use? I can't see if it's the '25 moss green' or the '43 forest green?' Many thanks.
Hi 🙂 I used 25 Moss Green.
Your welcome🥰
@@AdoreCreaCrochet Thank you so much! Can't wait to get started - Daisies are my most favourite flower - and this bag is just gorgeous with your colour combinations.
How do make your squares so.. square? And how do you clean up all the left over yarn tails?
You can try blocking your granny squares, by pinning them into a square shape and slightly dampen them, leave them to dry overnight 💕
Here are a few tips:
Consistent Tension: Maintain a consistent tension while crocheting. This means that your stitches should be neither too tight nor too loose. Experiment with how you hold your yarn and how tightly you pull it to find what works best for you.
Count Stitches: Count your stitches regularly to ensure you're maintaining the correct stitch count in each row. Mistakes in stitch count can lead to wonky shapes.
Blocking: After crocheting, block your squares by gently wetting them, shaping them into a square, and allowing them to dry flat. This can help even out any unevenness and make your squares more uniform.
As for cleaning up leftover yarn tails, here's a simple method:
Weaving in: Thread the yarn tail onto a yarn needle. Carefully weave the needle under the stitches on the wrong side of your work, going back and forth for a short distance. Make sure the tail is securely hidden and won't come loose.
Trimming: Once you're confident that the yarn tail is woven in securely, you can trim the excess yarn close to the fabric. Be careful not to cut the working yarn or any nearby stitches.
Remember, practice makes perfect! Over time, you'll develop your own techniques and find what works best for you in creating tidy squares and finishing off your projects neatly. Happy crocheting! 🧶😊
Thank you for all the wonderful tips @@AdoreCreaCrochet
Just a quick question what is the size of the yarn you are using I’m a beginner and really want to work on a new project and I just don’t know what size to buy. Thank you
Hi there🥰 I used Drops Paris, 10 ply / aran / worsted weight yarn. Best of luck with your project and happy crocheting❤️🧶
I’m just started crocheting and is this a project beginners can do? Also how long does this take (btw I’m not super fast😅)
Absolutely, a granny square tote bag can be a great project for beginners! The granny square itself is a classic and relatively simple crochet motif, making it a wonderful starting point for those new to crocheting. Plus, tote bags are practical and stylish items that you'll enjoy using.
As for how long it takes, that can vary widely based on factors like your crochet speed, the size of the squares, and how much time you can dedicate to crocheting each day. Since you mentioned you're not super fast, no worries at all - the joy of crafting is in the process itself. Take your time, enjoy the journey, and celebrate each square you complete. You're building valuable skills with every stitch!
If you're uncertain about the time commitment, you might want to start with a smaller tote bag or create a few squares to get a feel for the process. This way, you can gauge how much time it takes you and adjust your expectations accordingly.
Remember, the goal is to enjoy the process and create something you're proud of. Don't hesitate to ask for help or guidance if you encounter any challenges along the way. Happy crocheting! 🧶🌼👜❤
@@AdoreCreaCrochet Thanks that will definitely help! I went to dollar tree and got a ton of yarn and surprisingly it's pretty good! i started making that bag but i'm slowly getting the hang of it!
Could you please let me know approximately how long of the yarn do I need to connect the squares using whip stitch? Like double or triple or even more of a square? Thanks!
I am sorry to say that i do not remember exactly. Best of luck with your project.
Hi! I don’t have the drops paris yarn in my country sadly but how many ply is it usually? Is it an 8-ply or 10 ply yarn?
I recently just made your sunburst square and I got obsessed! I’m excited to try this out after getting more yarn 😁
Hi! Drops Paris yarn is 10-ply (also known as aran weight) yarn. If you’re using a different yarn, make sure it’s a similar weight to get comparable results. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the sunburst square and are excited to try this one out! Have fun with your next project, and happy crocheting! 😁🌟
@@AdoreCreaCrochet awesome, thank you so much!!
Great tutorial, thanks. I especially love that you're not a left-index-finger-sticking-straight-up-in-the-air crocheter 😂😁. I find it very distracting and almost makes my own finger ache watching it😅
Thank you very much for your comment. So nice to hear that you liked my video and the way I crochet. Yes, we all have our own special ways of doing things and it's great to find ways to crochet that you find the most comfortable and natural. I think it's something that comes with experience 😊❤
I made it
That's fantastic!🥰 Congratulations on completing your project! Keep up the great work!💪
What can you put in this bag? I am making it now, and there are lots of holes just from the way the granny squares are (from the corners and gaps between the flower petals). I am hesitant about putting anything in because it could fall out or poke out the holes. I'm worried about the overall sturdiness of it.
It's wonderful that you're making a crochet tote bag!
I use my bag for a beach bag or for crochet and knitting projects, which the bag is perfect for.
To address concerns about the sturdiness and preventing small items from falling out, here are a few suggestions:
Lining: Consider adding a fabric lining to the inside of the tote. This can help reinforce the structure, cover the gaps between granny squares, and prevent small items from poking through.
Base Material: If you haven't already, you might want to use a dense or sturdy yarn for the base of the bag, as this can provide additional support.
Remember, the holes and gaps are inherent to granny square designs, but with some of these adjustments, you can enhance the durability and functionality of your tote bag. Happy crocheting! 🌼👜🧶
Hi, I have just finished all 27 squares. I think I would like my bag to be bigger. Will it work if I add more squares (in multiples of 3). Thanks Michele
Hi😊 Yes absolutely you can, as long as you add an equal number of new squares to each side of the bag, you can make it exactly the size you want it to be. Best of luck with your project😊❤
@@AdoreCreaCrochet one last question. I made the bag for my friend. She is obsessed, but asked me to add button! HOW do I do this? Do you have a step by step to follow? Thank you so much.
May I ask how many squares you make i didn’t understand in the video en which hook did you used the bigger one and the smaller one
Thank you
Hi there😊 I used 27 granny suaqres for the bag. I sed the 4,5 mm for the squares and chains. and 3,5 mm. for the sc and handles.
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you
How did you the back side of the border?
I'm excited to try this! Can I ask what the size of each granny square is? Is it 4inches x 4inches? Thank you so much 😊
Of course! I'm glad to hear you're excited to try making the bag. 🌼😊 Yes the square is 4 inches by 4 inches (10 cm by 10 cm) when using the recommended yarn and recommended hook size. However, you can adjust the size by changing the number of rounds you crochet or by using different yarn weights and hook sizes.
Feel free to adapt the size to suit your project's needs or personal taste. Happy crocheting, and I hope you enjoy making your granny squares bag! 😊 If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
Can you tell me how many yards for each skein you used? Also, is it a 4 weight?
For the daisy granny square, I can not tell you exactly how much I used for each skein. Yes, it is a 4 weight yarn. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! Happy crocheting! 🌼🧶
Hi, will this pattern turn out similar to yours if I use 4 ply cotton yarn?
Hi there🥰 In this video I use DK worsted weight 8 ply merino wool. So I gues that your sqaure will turn out much smaller than mine when using 4 ply yarn. But the design works great with 4 ply cotton yarn aswell😊
Best of luck with your project❤
HELLO, love your tutorial. I really want to make it, but can it be crocheted in double knit wool? Please will you get back to me ASAP. Thank you Michele
Hello Michele! 😊Thank you for your kind words about the tutorial. Yes, you can absolutely crochet the project using double knit (DK) weight wool. However, keep in mind that using a different weight of yarn might affect the size and drape of the finished piece. You may need to adjust your hook size accordingly to achieve the desired result. It's always a good idea to make a gauge swatch before starting the project. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy crocheting!❤
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you. I will go get my wool soon. I was told 4mm hook for DK. So irritated that I cant get the wool you recommend in South Africa xx
Hello, can you please tell me, what colors do you use? There are few green and yellow available from drips :)
Hello there😊 Yes sure! I used these three colors: off white uni colour 17, mustard uni colour 41, moss green uni colour 25.
how much yarn in total did this take you? like how much white yarn, yellow yarn, green yarn?
Hi there,
I the beginning of the video I go through all the materials and how much I need of each your color. Each skein weigh 50 grams😊
Hi so i am just curious i want to add a zipper and line the bag how big is the purse what size zipper would i need thank you you much
Hi! 🥰To determine the right zipper size, you'll need to know the dimensions of your purse. Measure the length of the opening where you want to add the zipper, and choose a zipper that's slightly longer than that measurement for a comfortable fit. For lining, you can use a fabric that complements your purse. Thanks for reaching out! 😊👜
May i Know which yarn you used for crochet bag and which ply you used
Hi there. Yes of course😊 I use Drops Paris: weight 4 or medium/ Aran /Worsted /10 ply
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you so much for the reply
What is the reason why my corners doesn't make a perfect square? I'm a total beginner and the two first parts are fairly easy to make, but as soon as I begin the last part and get around the corners, I do not get a beautiful square...
Hi 😊
There are a few common reasons this might be happening:
Tension Issues: One of the most common reasons for irregular shapes in crochet is inconsistent tension. If your stitches are too tight or too loose, especially around the corners, it can cause the square to warp. Try to maintain a consistent tension throughout your work.
Stitch Count: Make sure you're counting your stitches correctly. Each corner of a granny square typically has a specific stitch pattern (like 3 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets in the same space). Missing or adding extra stitches can throw off the shape.
Hook Size and Yarn Weight: Using a hook size that doesn't match your yarn weight can also lead to problems. If the hook is too large or too small for your yarn, it can affect the tension and overall look of the square.
Blocking: Sometimes, granny squares just need a little bit of shaping. Blocking your squares (wetting them and pinning them in the correct shape as they dry) can help even out any irregularities and make your squares more uniform.
Practice: Since you mentioned you're a beginner, keep in mind that practice is key. Your technique and tension will naturally become more consistent with experience.
Keep practicing, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions or need further assistance! 🧶🌟
Did you just do a knot after u finished the yellow circle? Any tips for that.. i always fear the knot doesn’t hold
Yes I tie a knot with each color change, and I weave in the yarntails in the end to secure the yarn 🙂
Im having problem with the second assembling part, how is it supposed to look after assembling the ends
In general, when assembling crochet pieces, you want to make sure that the edges align properly, and the stitches match up. I recommend going back to the tutorial and carefully reviewing the assembly instructions.
Which ply yarn is best for bag making..pls reply
Hi thanks for your comment😊
When it comes to choosing the best ply yarn for making bags, the ideal choice can vary depending on the style and durability you're aiming for in your project. Here are a few general guidelines:
Worsted Weight (4-Ply): Worsted weight yarn is a popular choice for bags. It's durable, relatively thick, and can withstand the wear and tear a bag may experience. It's a great choice for tote bags and larger purses.
Aran Weight (8-Ply): Aran weight yarn is even thicker than worsted weight and provides extra sturdiness. This is excellent for bags that need to carry heavy items or for those that will see a lot of use.
Bulky or Super Bulky Weight: If you want a very sturdy and quick-to-crochet bag, consider using bulky or super bulky weight yarn. This will result in a thick, dense fabric that can handle a lot of weight and is great for market bags and winter accessories.
Cotton Yarn: If you're making a summer or beach bag, consider using cotton yarn. It's breathable and holds up well in humid conditions.
Nylon or Acrylic Blends: For bags that need to be water-resistant or are exposed to the elements, consider using yarn blends with nylon or acrylic, which can provide added durability and water-repellent properties.
Ultimately, the best ply yarn for your bag-making project depends on your specific design, the purpose of the bag, and your personal preferences. You can also consider combining different yarn weights for interesting textures and color patterns in your bag. Make sure to check the yarn label for care instructions and durability before making your choice.
@@AdoreCreaCrochet awhh ..thanks dear 🫂
How would you go about doing a daisy with different color petals??
I have not tried this myself, but I gues you would just have to change color every time you make a new petal.
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you for your reply! I’ll have to try it and see!
@@TheNunu121 You are welcome🥰
Hi how long did this take to make also could i make this with a 5.5mm hook and yarn that recommends a 5.5mm hook? thanks a lot!
Hi there! 😊The time it takes to make a granny square tote bag can vary depending on your crochet speed. Generally, making a large tote bag with multiple granny squares can take several hours to a few days, depending on how much time you can dedicate to crocheting each day.
Regarding your hook and yarn choice, using a 5.5mm hook with yarn that recommends a 5.5mm hook should work well for your project. This hook size should give you the desired tension and stitch definition for a sturdy tote bag. Make sure to check your gauge as you go along to ensure the bag turns out as expected.
Happy crocheting, and enjoy making your tote bag! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. 🌼🧶
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you so much for your help!
hi! could u please let me know approximately how many grams I need of each colour? thanks!
Hi there, I mention this in the beginning of the video each skein weigh 50 grams 😊
@@AdoreCreaCrochet oh sorry I didn't see that...thank you!!
How much yarn in grams you are using? What type of yarn? 😊
Hi 🙂I used just about 400 grams of Drops Paris #4 worsted aran.
How can you stop the handle from curling in slightly?
Hi🙂 It might help to make your chains a little looser. Good luck with your project❤
Made one for myself and my sister as she loved mine so much. Thank you!
Can you confirm which thread and hook you’ve used
I used Drops Paris and a 4.5 mm hook
I just made my first square and it doesn't add up.😢 I have 12 petals and in green two clusters between each corner. What am I doing wrong?
There is another film for this pattern for beginners. Perhaps thats easier to follow in the beginning?
Was for me! 😊
I have just made my first two squares.
Good luck! 🥰

Hi😊 I used Drops Paris
Is it cotton yarn?
Yes it is 😊
What kind of yarn is it? I’m using dk yarn and it looks nice but very messy xx
Hi😊 I used Drops Paris: 10 ply / aran / worsted.
It helps to block the squares to make them look nice and even. Best of luck with your project.
Thank you for quick reply. Love watching your videos I finished my cardigan yesterday for my daughter I’m expecting in July ❤ what do you mean by block the squares, sorry for the questions I’m new to crochet xx
@@CourtneyWintle That's wonderful to hear about your finished cardigan! Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little one as well. 🥰Blocking squares in crochet involves gently shaping them into their intended dimensions and allowing them to dry flat. It helps even out stitches and makes joining them easier for a neat finish. Don't worry about asking questions-that's how we learn and grow in our craft! Happy crocheting! 🧶💕
Can I know how tall and wide the bag is?
Hi😊 It is approx 38 cm wide and 40 cm tall.
