[@Sunnymarin]

I’ll be using a different yarn, how long in inches was your original chain for the handles?

[@simonesilva1912]

[@kiranrawatnegi8261]

Thanks mam....i will try this make this beautiful bag...can u tell me which kind of thread you have used???

[@leisareed1965]

Thank you for this pattern. I have all 3 pieces finished, but I'm struggling to seam it together. Are you going through both sides of the bag when you first started seaming the bottom?

[@aidamazzeo6237]

Ciao! Stupenda ! Posso usare la rafia o viene troppo stretta? Grazie mille! 😊

[@user-io6ks4mo5p]

Шикарная, спасибо!

[@susipasqualini5920]

Lovely pattern. But I can't seem to get it to be a rectangle! It's not square - mine kind of goes into a V shape. What am I doing wrong??!! Can anyone help? 😮

[@Originally.Lovely]

Hi!! I’m guessing you might not be increasing properly at the corners or missing a stitch on the corners from the previous round. Each side should be +1 stitch per row, and the bottom should be +2 stitches per row

[@susipasqualini5920]

@Originally Lovely Hi. Thanks for replying. I was missing the stitch in the corner after the hdc, c2, hdc. I skipped the stitch that's kind of hiding! But on the sides, do I hdc in the second chain corner from the previous round? 🤔

[@kreyzimii]

I subscribed to your channel 🥰

[@jarinadedeckere2713]

My eyelets seem a little off, they don't line up nicely but seem to jump a little to the right or left now and then.. Is this normal or do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[@marcelamillan2555]

Me encantaría hacer esta hermosa bolsa pero me gustaría saber si me pudieran traducirlo en español y ponerme los puntos par facilitarme hacerla mil gracias por subir estos hermosos trabajos

[@veerleausloos1291]

I can't figure out why I end up with more stitches on the bottom part of the bag versus the sides. Could you please confirm that there needs to be an equal amount of stitches on all 3 sides and that every row increases the amount of stitches by one (?) on each side? I have watched your video several times, paying attention to the corners but every time I end up with more stitches on the bottom. Can you please help. I really like this bag and don't want to give up on this pattern. Thank you.

[@Originally.Lovely]

Hi! You should have more stitches at the bottom than the sides as you work. You are increasing at the corners so since the bottom has two corners (one on either side of the bottom) and the sides only have one corner (where it connects to the bottom) the bottom will increase quicker than the sides! So although you start out with a ‘square’ shape and have all sides equal to begin, the bottom ends up being wider to create a perfect tote bag size!!

[@kuhanan6101]

i have the same problem as you too. and it sucks because she's didn't mention how many stitches we have for the final row. kinda have to redo the sewing again and again tho.

[@nilaruna7367]

Thank you so much. Do you think it is a good idea to use raffia yarn?

[@Originally.Lovely]

You definitely could try it! I dont use raffia much because it hurts my hands!!

[@susiesweetie4231]

Thank you for the tutorial,but I find the camera is not very well positioned.

[@georgierossouw7373]

I agree. Wish I could see closer. But well explained. Beautiful bag. Thank you! 🇿🇦RSA

[@prettycraftbysa]

Wow❤️❤️❤️

[@radinnurafzan8772]

13:12 - 2nd row

[@sherrylove5920]

I love this bag but really messed up somewhere. I have about eight stitches too many across the bottom edge

[@Originally.Lovely]

Hm I’m not sure why that would be but I’m guessing you are working into one of the chain stitches before you increase at the corners which would create additional stitches each row! Watch how I do the corners and pay special attention to the two chain stitches!

[@sevinconur4596]

❤

[@thawtar3383]

Can i use T. Shirt yarn for that? Please guide me.

[@Originally.Lovely]

Yes tshirt yarn would work nicely! Just be sure to check gauge if you want your bag to be the same size as mine! Also, make sure you choose a hook size that creates a denser, more structured fabric. You can use a smaller hook size that recommended on the label!
