CHECKERED BAG | BEGINNER CROCHET TUTORIAL | Henri Purnell

[@HenriPurnell]

Bestie update: I figured that after a while of wearing the strap will stretch out. Maybe try 16 rows for the strap for a more optimal length 🥰

[@enzosavary6718]

16 rows for the part you did 36 ?

[@linn7674]

@@enzosavary6718 i think he means squares haha

[@oriiq]

If i use 3 colors will it still be checkered? I wanna make one for my cousin and she want 3 colors

[@purplegigi_]

he means 16 squares which is 32 rows

[@maira1483]

@@oriiqyou can make a checkered pattern with three colors, just google 3 color checkered pattern to see how you should arrange the colors, but if you’re using 3 colors you could also make it a gingham pattern which is pretty similar

[@HenriPurnell]

For a bigger bag: Chain up 52 8 rows for the bottom of dc 20 rows for the body And handstrap the same ❤️

well… i chained up 62… but i’m nearly finished with the sides and it’s not taken me much time so yay

@@rhiannewood9161 hi, I hope I’m not bothering! I was wondering what you can fit in the bigger bag? I was hoping to fit a 2” binder and a laptop and some other bare necessities but I highly doubt it’ll all fit, but I’d love to know!

I made the bag first without the checkered pattern (so just one solid color) and that really helped me understand how everything works :)

I watch you first time. You seem friendly and sweet to me. you were followed

Henri, this is what i always needed! A detailed beginner tutorial! I'm looking forward to doing this. One question though: Can I also use other yarn that my mother has at home? What should I look out for? Love this, so excited to try this!!

[@HenriPurnell]

It‘s needs to be sturdy and strong since you wanna put weight into the bag. Otherwise it stretches down to the back of your knee 😂

[@maevemartin4848]

Its sooooo important to make sure the other bit of wool is with the other bit. The whole time.

LOOOVE this bag and great tutorial!! Question though as I didn’t quite pick it up: when you’re crocheting the sides of the bag, do you do the slip stitch and chain up two after every row? Going to try to make this myself!💙🤍

Yes

[@milenaviteri7677]

In the beginning i chained 42, but doing 4 double crochets for each colour, at the end of my last square i had 2 extra chains left? I dont know what I did wrong cause if i finish all of the 42 chains my last square will have 6 double crochets instead of 4

[@HenriPurnell]

Have you done your first double crochet into the 3 while like skipping the first to wholes. Cuz skipping the first two wholes will build your first post of your first square

[@Aicchio]

@@HenriPurnell if i do it on the thirds I’d still have one more extra chain at the end tho

[@ne8892]

Same thing happened to me, I did 42 chains, skipped 2 and started the dc at the third one but there’s one chain left, I don’t know what to do

@@dfdfdfdf4512 I used a thinner yarn, so I chrocheted instead of 4 stitches 8 for one square, with this pattern I needed 3 yarns from one colour and for the other colour also 3, but when you use a thicker yarn, you maybe only need 1 or two of each colour!! (I hope that helps)

So I'm using black and yellow for my bag and I used the yellow as the chain and the first square. I got the first black square in fine but not I'm going to my second yellow square but the yellow thread is still on the last square. So when I'm starting the second yellow square there is the yellow thread going over the black and not weaved in. I hope this makes sense because I feel like I missed a step and I don't know if this is normal or I just didn't do something. Help!

[@HenriPurnell]

You have to lay the yellow yarn in between your stitches while crocheting the black square :)

[@andjelak.5363]

I kinda have a problem :‘) I did the bag exactly like urs (size) and it seems so much smaller.. plus so far I did 18 rosw for the strap but when I put it together as if I would slipstitch it, it‘s so short.. like it doesn‘t hang like urs does. :( what did I do wrong 😭

Probably you‘ve used a smaller yarn size mine seems thicker

[@avaginez6824]

When I’m crocheting the sides of the bag for the height? Do I still double crochet in the back loops or I just double crochet normally

normally, only first row in the back stiches
