Crochet big bottom bag tutorial

[@janielamie7697]

Made this bag, for a gift, the pattern was so easy to understand. It turned out awesome, going to make more!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

That's awesome! Thank you for choosing my pattern

[@lorishepping9527]

I've just printed this pattern and added it to my pending folder, although saying that I will most probably make it before I've finished what I'm working on right now. Thanks for another great video Clare.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Lori, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, I am so glad you like this bag. Make sure you finish your other item before starting the bag haha The bag does work up fast because of the big crochet hook Happy crochet

[@SPTLC]

Hello from France! Thank you very much for this video! I started my bag yesterday and will be working on it during the winter break. When spring arrives ( finally...) I’ll be proud to use the bag! How nice it is for a beginner to find a useful and beautiful project! Thanks again!

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching my videos

[@Nokemes1]

This bag is so nice! I love it! I am already working on one of your little ponchos for my great-grand daughter and a triangular shawl for myself....and will now be heading to Wal-Mart tomorrow to choose yarn for this adorable handbag. Thanks so much for all your easy-to-follow directions.

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are very welcome :) If you are doing the bigger sizes, grab an extra ball of each colour thank you for choosing my pattern and happy crochet

Hello Claire, Computer troubles are small things in life - no worries. I am glad to see this video I have left over 24/7 cotton yarn by line brand I am thinking of doing this bag in. Stay Healthy and Take care of YOU! Sincerely, Lisa

[@bearamos8203]

Thank you so much!! I already made it :) It's my first bag....and I love it!! Greetings from Argentina :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Silvina Chico Aliaga thank you for your comment, thank you for watching

[@kiranjain8872]

Hi. I am from India....I made three bags. And the last one I changed it a little by making one row DC and one row TC..Looks lovely..Thank you for sharing this pattern

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much for watching and what a great idea to use the treble

[@SuperBettyboop40]

Had to order the right hook for this bag today. So excited I get to start it soon. I'm going to stitch a smaller bag to get some practice in .

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yay! you can never have too many hooks. i bet it will look great small as well

[@belantww]

I use RH Soft all the time. It's one of my favorite yarns. It's labeled as worsted weight, although it's probably between a DK and a heavier worsted.

[@CrochetwithClare]

I agree with you, its defiantly not a worsted, it is almost the same as our DK yarn :)

[@belantww]

+bobwilson123 Yeah, they have this system for sizing yarn here in the US which isn't very accurate. Under this system, both Red heart Super Saver and Red Heart Soft are both categorized as 4-Medium. I don't know if you've ever worked with Caron Simply Soft, but it's even thinner than RH Soft, and is also categorized as 4-Medium. This makes no sense, and it makes it very hard to switch yarns when working a pattern. Lousy system. Lol.

[@gemmaludvigh8108]

Woo hoo. I just found what I'll be making with my first ever ball off super saver! Hehe thanks Clare! Xoxo

[@barbaraengel622]

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@marie-thereserudell3028]

Can it be made with a single strand of yarn,or does it HAVE to be 2 strands?

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes you can make with one strand of worsted if you like. you will just need more rounds and a size hook to match your yarn.

[@carolynbaesler1888]

Okay I made this one and now when is the next one coming. Love your videos

[@RosauraCapeletti0709]

Congratulations! Nice bag Did you lower the rise in the body of the bag to make the top fairer? Thankful

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, No the bag does this shape by itself, thank you for watching

[@BGLFCreative.]

I can only do a single stitch

[@CrochetwithClare]

you can learn double crochet here, all you need to do is watch the video to learn double crochet kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWfOkHuagrCMqNk

[@JangToki]

I love your videos. I've followed you for about maybe 2 years now. You're amazing!!! One question, could I use the HDC stitch instead of the DC stitch?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello *waves* thank you for your continued support :) Yes you can use the hdc stitch, the base will be smaller because the hdc stitch is shorter. You might need to add more rows :)

[@dawnareid6043]

I made one doing the middle (chain 20) and I did exactly what you did on the video, 2 Dbc around, then chain 3 and then 1 dbc for 11 rows total. It came out horrible! The opening was HUGE! Even when I single cr around - then I even tried decreasing around.. but it was just too big! I watched your video over and over.. I did exactly what you did except for doing 20 chain instead of 15. Don't know what happened, I spent hours working on it! So frustrated.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Oh no Dawna, how frustrating Can you decrease every 2nd or third stitch around for a few rounds ? I know on hats people accidentally do 2 rounds of the doing the 2 dc in each stitch instead of just one round. Check to see if this is what happened

[@shannonlund1425]

bobwilson123 Hi, the same thing happened to me. It turns out like a huge flat oval after doing all the rounds...what step are we missing?

[@jenniferkaler2270]

I have a question. I am Tunisian crocheting and it is rolling . How do I stop it from rolling? I used a bigger hook than the yarn asked for. Help !!!

[@belantww]

Tunisian crochet is supposed to roll up. After you're done, try blocking the piece so it lays flat.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, as Maribel said it does roll up, I do nto have much experience with Tunisian crochet sorry

[@jo-anne8111]

I love Tunisian and if you can on some projects if you put a separate normal crochet border this can help as it pulls the work out obviously this won't work with every project but I've done lap blankets and the border stopped the roll up but it does roll up its the nature of the stitch. : )

[@jenniferkaler2270]

+Jo-anne Whyman thank you . I will try this.

[@lidasantander2714]

Hi !! From Maryland 🇺🇸 love your videos Can I use only one strand of yarn ??

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, yes you can use 1 strand of yarn :) You will need a crochet hook that is recommended for the yarn you chose

[@tarahaas7510]

Hello. Is there away if doin this whole bag in just a single stitch? I'm actually trying to have a purse.. So any tips on doing that would be really nice.. Thank you so much😄

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes of course ! You may want more increasing though to get the same shape

[@bfvargas8]

awesome thanks!

[@mendesnadi]

Thanks for sharing, I loved the video. :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you Nadi and thank you for watching

[@linanguyen2541]

Can we put anything heavy inside? Is it dilated?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes you can put items inside, it will get bigger and stretch a little

[@jenniferkaler2270]

Thank you

[@alaasabri2378]

lovely❤❤

[@dalvasantos3897]

Lindo trabalho.

[@Mzdiana82]

Love it Awesome! 🖒💜😍

[@ayatawfik5090]

Thank you so much Clare I am gonna do it😍😍❤❤❤

[@dashawntillman9980]

How about picking the project up after each row to let us beginners know what it SHOULD look like. 😔 after the third row you were doing the handles 😦 I knew it was over for me

[@CrochetwithClare]

after you have finished the 2nd round making 2 double crochets into each stitch you will then do all following rounds as 1 dc into each stitch. you will do this for as many rounds as you want your bag to be. make sure to count your stitches each round to make sure you have the same amount of stitches as you go. once your bag is as big as you want it to be you can start your handles. www.bobwilson123.org/big-bottom-bag.html

[@rickilieberman2136]

Zi love the big hook, but I want to give it to my son who shops for me! If I use smaller hook will it be strong enough for him to take to the market and pack groceries? What do you advice for yarn size and hook size. I prefer to use I strand and not 2. But worried about strength. I also want to use Cotten for strength! Ricki🤗

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes I would use a smaller hook to help with stretching, it will be fine to put groceries in, I use mine for that and it is fine You may like to make the bag smaller than you need because it stretches I know you asked about another cluster bag and i cannot find that comment, so i will reply to you here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eICYnIx9f5ynesk
