Crochet Foldable Fruit Market Bag Tutorial

[@VivCrochets]

Hi everyone! I forgot to include that you can skip 2 stitches instead of 3 for the first round of the netting if you want a bigger bag! And if you want an even bigger bag, you can skip 1 stitch! If you want to see the size differences, I will make a post on my instagram @viv.crochets within the next few days!

I made this and also duplicated it for a watermelon using bright green netting and then swapping the green kiwi bit for red watermelon, one round of white then the bright green again! Love it

[@resepimudah4419]

Thanks for the tutorial! For someone who just started crochet less than a month, I managed to make this bag in 2 days. I don’t have a lot of colors, so I made a green apple bag instead. Your instructions are very clear, thanks so much!!

Great tutorial and a fun project to make. I made mine in a solid colour because I was just looking to use up some yarn. Some things to note. 1) I had zero problem following the pattern except for the placement of the handles. I may have miss understood something, but my handles didn't line up properly the first time. I just did it by feel the second time and it came out right. 2) As a fun extra, I added a small loop and a thin handle on either side of the pocket opening for closing and carrying it. Now it can serve as a smaller bag when folded.

Thank you for the easy to follow video!

I made this today! It’s so cute.i made my kiwi 2 rows larger and made the bag longer! Thank you so much!! 🥝🥝🥝

I'm definitely gonna make a couple of these!! So environmental-friendly in comparison to the plastic bags you get in grocery stores for your fruit

[@brookecastillo1349]

your voice is so calming I started falling asleep while watching. I like how you explain switching colors, I know it's simple but other videos just confuse me too much, your explanation is perfect

i just made this in orange with some black appliques sewn on to make a jack o’ lantern bag for the fall :) thank you so much!

[@TsukiBabii]

Thank you for this great tutorial! Instead of a kiwi, I customized the pattern to make an apple. I also added an extra small strap so that I can hang it off the side of my bag. I love how easy it is to customize 😊

I made with acrylic yarn, followed the pattern and while it’s such a cute bag, it does stretch tremendously. Wish I used cotton yarn and did fewer rounds of netting.

[@Aaa.reelvoov]

Can make another fruits shape like orange or strawberry or lemon?

[@loudestcloud]

You could make other fruits by not changing color at all the whole time then just adding a leaf. A strawberry would require a different pattern but depending on your skill level you could easily change the shape

[@diymaker927]

Hii, I am making the kiwi foldable bag and I want it to be bigger than the one on the youtube tutorial but since I'm a beginner i am having trouble understanding what are the changes I need to make. After round 5 what pattern I need to make to increase more the size? And if it affects the rest of the making of the bag what I need to change in the rest of the pattern? Sorry of I can't explain my doubt very good but english is not my first language. I would really apreciate if you could help because I am stuck in Rnd5 of the pattern because of this and I am really excited to do this project. If you can, please help!

[@VivCrochets]

Hi! The kiwi part is the same, you just change the first round of the netting. If you skip 2 stitches instead of 3, you’ll have a medium sized bag. And if you skip 1 instead, you’ll have a large bag! And for the handle of the medium bag, skip 4 spaces under your chain. And skip 5 for the large bag

[@diymaker927]

Thank you so much!❤

[@marivegar4949]

Hi can you tell me what ply you used for this bag thankyou. Its lovely

[@willowyong4127]

I thought this was super cute and I’m in the process of making it. For some reason my beginning hole won’t close all the way when I pull the center string and I have quite a bit more gap-age. This isn’t my first project but any tips?😅

[@VivCrochets]

You can try one less chain! Or a magic circle, if you’ve done one before

[@willowyong4127]

@@VivCrochets thank you so much for your reply! Did you use a magic circle in the video as well?

[@VivCrochets]

No, I used an alternative: chain 5 and slip stitch to form a loop! You can try chain 4 or 3 to make the loop smaller

[@kaitlinvee4750]

I’m stuck on the straps. I’m confused ab the 30 double crochets into the strap space compared to 1 double crochet into each strap space, does that mean 30 dc I go each chain space(30ti e for 30 strap spaces)?

[@VivCrochets]

Sorry for the confusion! So the strap I made is 30 chains long and you would work 30 double crochets along that chain. You can either do 1 double crochet into each stitch or just work 30 into the space under the 30 chains. I would recommend just doing the first way since the stitches won’t move around!

[@lindacrochetandmore9470]

Love this made a pumkin ❤lol

[@lydiacartagena643]

If I make this with regular yarn instead of cotton yarn will it stretch much with the yarn your using?

[@joannsweeney5183]

This is such a cute bag!! ❤️💕 I’m having problems with the space in between the straps. Can someone help me out? I have 15 of the netting holes. My question is in between the two double crochets of the strap. I thought she said skip three at the beginning but then on the second one she said skip two. Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong. Thank you in advance.

[@VivCrochets]

Hi! Since there are an odd number of holes, we skip 3 spaces then 0.5, 2, 0.5 (to add up to 3) on the other side. It’s so the spaces under the straps are spaced evenly along the top

[@joannsweeney5183]

@@VivCrochets ok thank you!! I thought I had done it wrong. 😊

[@creationcrochetnanny8675]

Are you useding cotton wool or nomal wool please

[@anaandrade8436]

Can it be made with other fruit ?

[@VivCrochets]

Sure! Just switch up the colors!

I lovee this! How long did it take you to make it? Thanks in advance 😊

[@leesah_cpvibezvibrations1383]

!! Im confident that i can do it 😩🤣.

[@diymaker927]

I am doing the kiwi part and came across a doubt in round 3 I think because I can't seem understand the order no chance colors in what stiches or when to increase and with which color. Maybe if you can tell me the order it would really help me!! If you can please help.

[@spectrophobic]

What could I do if I wanted to make the fruit an avocado how could I add to the circle pattern? (Or pineapple)

[@laurenbashoura9575]

For an avocado, you could use brown for the first two rounds, then light green for the next two, and dark green for the last one!

[@dnetsirk]

Thank you for this tutorial! I cannot wait to make it for my mother-in-law! If I was going to make this bag in the medium size using 24/7 cotton yarn, which hook size would you recommend using to keep the sizing the same/similar? TiA!

[@VivCrochets]

24/7 cotton is slightly smaller, so you could go up maybe 1-1.5mm in hook size on the label to get a similar size! Or you can do an extra round for the base!

[@user-xf7mn3nl6g]

How many yards will i need of each color?

[@loudestcloud]

Do you guys think this could be achievable without holes? I'm from the UK and we don't really use fruit bags basically at all due to the lack of fruit markets

[@emilyemerson9257]

You can make a bag without holes, but I don't think you would be able to fold it up easily.

[@vella8650]

What is the yardage of the project for each of the yarns used?

[@user-xf7mn3nl6g]

How much yarn will this require?

[@janealves8277]

[@qualifiedtolove1027]

For some reason in the beggining around minute 4 when I pull on the string the circle won't close :(

[@qualifiedtolove1027]

I'm very frustrated 🙃

[@Ziggster-rz4kv]

Do you think you could maybe do a strawberry version or a peach version of this? LOVE your tutorial btw, thank you so much, too cute!

[@vella8650]

I COMPLETELY AGREE! A strawberry and a peach would be so cute. I think the strawberry would be my favourite, because I just love how strawberries look.

En el círculo es muy rápido y no miramos bien

[@loveyouahh]

Hi! I’m trying to make this and is it ok if you just skip the loose ends off without weaving it?

[@sav8839]

When I pulled on the tail to close the loop, nothing happened :(( what did I do wrong? I thought I followed the video exactly

[@VivCrochets]

I’m not sure, but if you use a yarn needle and run the tail under the stitches around the hole, you should be able to pull it to close it! If that doesn’t work, try chaining 4 or 3 in the beginning instead of 5, so the hole will be smaller

i was soooo confused with the strap cuz i ended up with 14 and it wasnt nicely even, i figured out why it wasnt even tho, and evened it out and it looks nice now 😌 love this pattern 🫶🫶 (i wasnt paying attention, and i messed up on the 3rd row of the netting so i didnt even try to fix it)
