Thank you for the tutorial. I made my first bag! I used Loops & Threads yarn in Royal blue, bright red and yellow with a 5mm hook.

[@FlutePlayer777]

This is exactly what pattern I was looking for! Thank you for posting it!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are very welcome! Glad I could help you

[@dalefleming9263]

Very nice bag, you have such great step-by-step tutorials. I, really enjoy watching them I, also do some of them keep up the great work.

[@pattyherpel5032]

Love this pattern. I've been looking for tote bags large enough to hold crochet afghan products and I thought to myself,why not just make one. So thanks for this tutorial.

[@CrochetwithClare]

in order to make it larger you just make extra chains in multiples of 4

[@pattyherpel5032]

I love the colors you picked for your bag it turn out beautifully. Love this bag pattern, I'm looking forward to starting this project, now to choose the colors that I want. Thank you for the tutorial, love all of your videos, your a wonderful teacher, keep up the great work.😀 God bless

[@tonihovatter7764]

I finally took the time to make this bag; I just need to finish the handles. Thinking this will be for me! I was going to do rainbow colors with scrap yarn; but ended up doing a turquoise color (Love Blues!!) and then Orange...and liked how they looked so added a cream color. So prettty! Thanks for all you do to help us Clare! Much appreciated!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and happy crochet to you Toni x

[@jillmiller4114]

I'm about halfway done and I love the way it's coming out. it's bigger than I thought it would be. the bag really starts to grow once the increases are added. I am using Red Heart with Love also. Mint, Delightful, White, Boysenberry, and maybe I'll add some more colors too lol. Idk yet. Thank you for ALL of your help!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Sounds beautiful Jill, thank you for choosing my pattern

[@traceynesbitt6929]

[@simplebutgreat8000]

It's very lovely colorful bag. I'll start to make one.Your tutorial is very fruitful. thanks a lot and will follow your project.

[@lendalee3159]

Love the bag and very easy to make. I have several gifts to make for Christmas and will fill it with a magazine and will crochet a lip balm and attach it to the inside of the bag. I am also going to crochet a simple heart and tie it to the outside of the bag with a tag and my name on it. Thank you for the video.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, that sounds like a fabulous idea !

[@tamaram200]

Found this oldie but goodie video. Used one odd ball of Caron cakes. My bag is a gift and I will try to remember to tag you Clair so you can see it. This is a great pattern easy to adjust and quick and fun to make.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you for watching some older videos ! I hope to see it when it is finished and thank you for choosing my pattern

Grannies at the beach -- how cool is that! Love the bright colors. Think I'll make a market/beach bag in this pattern, using cotton. Thanks for another great video! Always so clear and easy to follow. :-)

[@pattylong4806]

When I made the handles I used D.C. Foundation chain instead of just regular chain. Worked beautifully.

[@rickilieberman2136]

Is this bag going to hold grossers if it's used as a market bag? Should you double the strands as you did for the little bag on your other video? Will it stretch or be stronger with groceries? Thank you! I love your videos! You explain beautifully! Ricki

[@rickilieberman2136]

Is there another cluster pattern to make a market bag? Ricki

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, yes it will hold them and yes it will stretch with heavy items

[@steviacatnip9744]

Thank you for making this tutorial. Are you sure it is not 41 chains total. (Multiples of 4+1)? The only way it works for me is if I do that. If I have 40 chains then I only have 1 stitch left at the end.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hmm maybe it is ! What ever works for you, go for it :)

[@ritaconnolly9399]

Stevia you’re correct. Just started this bag today and even charted the pattern twice to be sure but you do need 41 in order to get a ch1/skip one space before doing that last hdc .

[@diannegordon9697]

I am going to use red, green and gold

hi Clare I made one of these bags and it turned out lovely I'm now on my second bag trying to do the body part in front posts but it still looks flat pls help

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Mel, if you are changing the pattern then it may behave differently when you crochet, hope that made sense. If you have increased the base of the bag it always takes a few rows maybe up to 4 or 5 rounds to start to for the bag sides. hope this helps Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and happy crochet to you Mel

[@MelDoonerDooner]

hi Clare thanks for getting back to me no I didn't do anymore increase on the base when you stopped increasing I stopped maybe it's because of the front posts they could be too heavy. I'm on row 12 and to me it still doesn't look right. I might have to rip it all back to the base grrrrrrrrr lol

[@kriskrumanaker4315]

I'm enjoying watching your videos; you are a good teacher, and I've shared your videos with some friends. I teach crochet, too and I always recommend Susan Bates hooks to my students. Here's why. In this video, I notice you having trouble getting your hook out of your last loop on your stitch almost every single time. I would like to suggest that this is not YOU, it is the style of hook you're using. Susan Bates hooks are wider at the head and also the hook is in line with the shank. This allows for smooth exit from you stitches. You will still encounter the problem, but you will notice a significant improvement in the ease with which you are able to get out of your stitches. Please Note that I am in no way compensated by Susan Bates for this recommendation. I just think maybe people are not aware of this problem, or think it is their fault, or don't know there is a difference in the style of hooks that actually alleviates this situation. Or maybe you've tried Susan Bates hooks and don't like them. At any rate, I thought you might be interested to know. Hope that helps. And as you say, Happy Crochet!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Kris, thank you for the heads up :) Its also the weird sitting position I have when filming :) If I am relaxing on the couch I have no problems Great information you have provided about the crochet hooks, we all have our favorites and its great they make so many different styles - Just like goldilocks and the three bears our hooks have to be *jusssst right* Happy crochet to you too :)

[@kriskrumanaker4315]

That is true, as well; holding your hands/arms at different positions can help a lot. Thanks for the reply.

[@loribyers1937]

WHAT DID I DO? I just finished this tote and I LOVE IT! I used RED HEART super saver yarn. The color is called BLACKLIGHT, it's beautiful! Just one problem , and I don't know why! About 8 rounds into the tote there is a line that goes diagonally up the bag with each round. It goes all the way to the top. Any suggestion as to what I did wrong? I LOVE this pattern, but I need to know what I did. Any help would be appreciated! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! GRANDMA 11

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Lori, I would say the line is where the end / start of each round is ? Thank you for your great feedback and thank you for watching

[@loribyers1937]

bobwilson123 How do I avoid getting this line, I didn't see it on yours? Thank You for your help! :-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi it is still possible you are still doing increase rounds. the more rounds you make it should start forming the sides. you can post a photo on the facebook page or send an email to the help desk if you need. facebook.com/pg/bobwilson123/community/?ref=page_internal, [e-mail]

[@melodymaben5917]

Has anybody used a different stitch for the handles and done one wide instead of 2

[@CrochetwithClare]

hello, you can use whichever stitches you like as long as they don't stretch much. You can use just one handle but you have the potential of the brim of the bag stretching out or not laying properly with just one handle as well as weight distribution is better with two handles versus one.
