Crochet Mesh Tote Bag Tutorial

[@alienis-onyoutube]

i started this like two hours ago im still on the base but im proud i even got this far with adhd im very proud of myself i am going to subscribe because of this i literally love her so mcuh

[@rianakolari2246]

I gave up trying to crochet bc all the tutorials I would watch were unclear but I successfully made this bc you explain it and show it so nicely!

[@s37059bh]

I've been on and off crocheting as a hobby for the past couple years and this is the first time I've managed to finish a project (that doesnt look horrid). Thank you so much!!

[@ZarnazFahad]

I've seen so many crocheted bags, you're the only one who explains the oval base in such detail and simplicity. Just finished my two-toned bag. I'll tag you on IG when I post the picture. ❤

[@starrs6534]

I have been crocheting for a year and this was the hardest project I have made. You were very thorough and I finally finished after a few days. Thank you.

[@xuanonoonononoonoonn]

this is an amazing tutorial: trust me when I say that I’ve been watching so many tutorials for mesh bags but they are either too fast, or they have no option for the width of the strap, or the bag has a base that is too tiny or huge. this checks all the boxes of a thorough tutorial too - will definitely be making this bag:)

[@tereenunpostit]

I made mine in green but it took me about 200g, its lovely and I adore the end result, thank you so much for the detailed tutorial I loved following it. I used 4 of the Drop Paris and a 5mm hook. Best of luck to anyone giving it a try, I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did!

[@skullie7736]

this is perfect timing!! i’ve been looking for a bag pattern exactly like this🥰 thanks for the always wonderful tutorials and remember to take care of yourself💗

hi there! i have started crocheting a month ago, and this was the first "big" project which i have attempted and succeeded! even though it's not as sleek and neat as yours, but i am so proud of myself. this was made possible because of this detailed, extensive and patient tutorial of yours!!! thank you so so much, i cannot wait to learn more from you and create more beautiful yet functional pieces :D

[@simplyLailaiii]

just made this bag and i absolutely love how it turned out!! she did very well on explaining the steps

[@jmfootsteps]

Found a lots of tutorials about tote bag crochet but this video is the best. This is my second project so far after the bucket cap using your tutorial as well. Thank you for sharing your learnings in crochet, keep posting more videos. You’re the best. ❤

[@Himynameisstrawberey]

How long did it take

[@jmfootsteps]

@@Himynameisstrawbereyfor the bucket cap it takes three days for me to finished and for this tote bag i’m still at the second layer for the body part.

[@Himynameisstrawberey]

@@jmfootsteps okay thanks but I'm not good enough to make it so maybe next time yk but I was making it for a concert but I'm out of time we are already leaving so ya

[@jmfootsteps]

@@Himynameisstrawbereyoh that’s okay, i only do this in my free time. And btw make sure to choose a nice yarn to crochet, it also helps. 😊

[@yvonnemagic669]

Hi! Did you finish the project? If yes, how much yarn did it take you? If not, how much yarn do you think it'll take? Thanks!

[@eda._.7]

I finished this bag yesterday. IT TURNED OUT SO PERFECT SO CUTE 🥳🥳🥳🥳 THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST THING I'VE EVER CROCHET! Thank you for this tutorial🐢💝 You explained everything clearly, it's so easy to follow. I used non-mercerized cotton yarn it did not turn out very stretchy. I'm so happy with the size and the pattern 🤭🌷✨

[@Kartonik145]

I really like your tut. I am advanced, but I see that you are explaining for beginners too, so that is very helpful, because this tutorial is perfect for all crocheters! Thank you soooo much for sharing!

[@tanyatan75]

I've followed so many similar tutorials and this is the only one that has worked for me so far!

[@Rahamanuaya]

thank u so muchhh😭😭😭😭 im a beginner and this tutorial is the best among all, i made my first crocheted bag w ur help😭😭

[@CrochetBananas345]

You should make a written pattern for those who find it easier (no problem if you already have one)

[@roubasaab815]

Thank you so much, the tutorial is very clear and easy to follow. I watched almost 5 videos to make the strap until i reached your video.

[@lisalee3067]

So glad you addressed that hole because this is why I’ve always avoided this base style.

[@leavesthedirt]

Great video! The only thing I changed was splitting it into two straps, came out perfect!! I wouldn't have been able to do it without such clear instructions

[@remaskhalid6402]

This an amazing tutorial I’ve done the bag even that I’m a beginner ❤ all my friends liked the bag so thanks for the tutorial 💗💕

[@pancakewithjam]

Omg thank you for this tut i really want to strat again after almost a year of not crocheting. Im going to buy yarn tomorrow and start

[@yujo66]

I’m making the body right now ✨ I’m in the straps , it’s very well It’s done

[@Fimemino]

[@yujo66]

Thankyou so much for the tutorial! I was looking for a vid to make myself a mesh bag for my upcoming party at school to match with a dress, and this helped me alot >>>♡

[@emaki2712]

Made this using milk cotton yarn and it came out too small. Way too small for me so I gave it to my niece. Cute bag tho. Will try to make another one for me when I find 24/7 cotton.

the tutorial is very simple and well explained thank you so much i just finished the bag but mine ended up small idk if it was because of the hook (i used a 2.0 mm one) or because of the yarn (mine doesn't stretch much)

Hi, I have a quick question 😅. What do I do if the number of stitches is uneven. I am about to do the straps but I counted that I have 69 doublecrochets (I did my base a bit wider. Meaning that when I mark the stitches on the edge I have 33 stitches on one side and 34 on the other 😅. Did I completely mess up? Help please.

[@babushkaboi7396]

i think eventually the difference won’t be visible

I want to make this bag in two colours, as I don't have enough of either colour. Would you please suggest where I should start changing colours? Every two rows of the body? Or perhaps 4?

[@VivCrochets]

It depends how wide you want your stripes! 2 rows will be really thin, so I would do every 4

Why everytime it do it curls and turns into a circle does that mean i doing something wrong?

[@babushkaboi7396]

i had the same mistake. you should do 2 double crochets in one stitch only 6 times when making the first curve but when you go straight you need to do only one double crochet in every stitch. after you continue to make a curve the same way but you have to make 2 double crochets in 12 stitches and then proceed with 1 double crochet in each stitch. hope i made myself clear

at 11 : 30 why does my bag need 12 stitches ( 6 idb and 6 db ) to make a semi circle if i make 6 it goes only halfway what did i do wrong

There are 6 stitch around the curve. We put 2 double crochets into each, so we have 12 around the curve
