I love this tutorial, because it's was so fun to make + easy to follow (while I'm making my bag my crochet mind was thinking about how I can custom that bag, like if I want bigger bag I make longer chain + using different yarns and hooks). So HUGE THANK YOU for that tutorial! I was having fun to making + i want make more those bags.

[@MirrymasCrafts]

[@jeanetteruschmeyer6092]

You are a good teacher. My granddaughter and I made our first bags a few weeks ago. But they came out slightly lopsided but still usable and we were very proud of them. But I learned some new tips from your video that will make our second bags come out better. Thank you!!! ( I did not know we were supposed to skip the slip knot stitch!!! That tip alone was priceless to learn. Again, thank you very much.)

Hi Thank you for teaching me. I made this one, it’s not perfect but I enjoyed making it in pea green and a longer handle 100 chains. It’s crooked on one side but once it’s got items in it, no one will notice. First time I’ve made a bag. Could not buy braided cord in New Zealand so had to get from America so cost me lots..

I'm glad you loved the tutorial....Have you tried buying on Etsy

[@lakshmiranade9958]

Thank you,by far the best tutorial I've seen I would like to make bigger bag so how many chains do i have to start with

[@MirrymasCrafts]

It depends on how big you want your bag to be....for bigger width you add more chains and for more height you add more rows. Any number of chains can do. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@anamariasantanacorreiamarq4640]

Adorei esta bolsa sacola. Vou fazer.

[@MirrymasCrafts]

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Thank you for watching ❤️

[@traceyfreeman5784]

I would love to try this bag. Your instructions were clear, the only problem was understanding what kind of yarn is required. I would think maybe cotton or maybe a macrame type. I don’t know, I can see it’s round. I will have to get the pattern and see if I can figure it out. I am a beginner so I just don’t know on my own. Thank you.

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Hie ...the yarn is 3mm thick macrame cord

[@topazalbulushi4204]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just finished doing this bag but I don't know what mistakes I made because it did not come same size. However, it still looks fantastic.

[@MirrymasCrafts]

thank you for watching ❤️.... the size difference could be an issue with different tensions or slightly different yarn but I'm glad it looks fantastic 😊

[@marylinbuslotan4620]

Good job

[@CherryPotPi3]

[@Nerita.]

Explained so well

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Thank you 💖

[@maryrosespiteri5759]

Very nice thans

[@VionetteCaraballo]

Love your video. It was easy to follow. Is it possible to make it bigger. Any advice

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Yes, if you want to increase the width of the bag you add more chains at the beginning....then to add height you add more rows at the top just before putting the handles. Thank you for watching ❤️

[@lovemarymuzondo2718]

I am a beginner. Best tutorial ever. I'm going to make a bag tomorrow. Thank you😊

[@MirrymasCrafts]

I'm glad you like the tutorial. Thank you for watching ❤️

[@trevonda37]

How many stitches should you have from row 3 until 12?

[@MirrymasCrafts]

58 stitches, the slip stitch that we using to join the last stitch to the first stitch does not count as a stitch

[@euniceglushefski4804]

Thank you

[@reginagawanas8260]

I like it its easy thnx

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Thank you for watching ❤️

[@magdamanzano2142]

Hi. This is a great tutorial. I am a beginner and like the way you explain each stitch. II just received some cord that I ordered but the color is doll and it is also very hard to work with. If possible, I would like to know the brand of the cord you used, it looks very soft and not so hard to work with. Thank you for your tutorial!

[@MirrymasCrafts]

the one that I used is cotton macrame cord from a local shop. I have noticed that polyester macrame cord is hard to work with and requires a bit of time to get used to it, so the softer one when buying is cotton macrame cord

[@angela0820]

Wondering if u make bag a little bigger will the strap count be the same as yours in video though? Or how would I count to get my straps right?

[@MirrymasCrafts]

The strap count would be different...i suggest you lay your bag flat mark the points you would want your straps to be. Just make sure that you have the number of stitches from the edge to the strip of one side is the same as the other side ....that is when your bag is laid flat

[@patriciarull-wild5629]

This is great, thank u . How many stitches should you have all round? Thanks vvvv much . Xx

[@MirrymasCrafts]

you should have 58 stitches

[@trevonda37]

Great tutorial are you in the back loop for the entire bag?

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Yes it's in the back loop for the whole bag

[@trevonda37]

Thank you

[@nayelyguzman8863]

Will you try your hand on a “puff” tote tutorial? I got lost on the video I was watching and I was able to finish this one pretty easy thanks to you. I would love to see your tutorial.

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Hie....thank you for watching. Did you mean a puff stitch tote tutorial?

[@Kharole_xperience]

You inspired me to start up a channel

[@MirrymasCrafts]

that's great ☺️

[@itzmehehe1245]

Thank you for the tutorial! Will 2mm cord work for this? Bought the wrong size🙁

[@MirrymasCrafts]

The 2mm will do just fine just add a few chains at the beginning and a few more rounds at the top towards the end to increase the size of the bag.

[@user-uj5gg6wb5j]

Nice bag I followed you. I want to make a bigger side for my kids. Any advice 😊😊and guide please

[@MirrymasCrafts]

to increase the width you add more chains at the beginning, then to increase the height of the bag you increase the number of rounds at the top before doing the handles

[@debbieduchamp1707]

I love this tote! Would you mind telling me the brand of the macrame rope you used and where you purchased it? Thank you so much!

[@MirrymasCrafts]

I bought it from a local shop....how ever any macrame that is 3mm thick and is written braided macrame will do just fine, you can find some on amazon

[@debbieduchamp1707]

@@MirrymasCrafts thank you!

[@anamariasantanacorreiamarq4640]

Sou de Brasília Brasil.

[@morganrichards1260]

Where did you get the macrame chord?? Also your an amazing teacher! You make it really easy to understand especially for a beginner!

[@MirrymasCrafts]

You can buy it online on Amazon or Etsy, some shops that sell yarn also sell macrame cord. Thank you for watching.

[@tashpointsue]

Is the macrame cord cotton? I'm finding only cotton macrame cord but it doesn't look like cotton in this video. Thanks 🙂

[@NC-bj2rx]

Hi! I love this pattern. I completed one bag but I find when I join with a sl st at the end and then ch 3 it leaves a hole along the seam. Am I doing it wrong or is there a way to join without leaving holes? Thanks.

[@MirrymasCrafts]

So when you join with the slip stitch make sure it is very tight then as you insert the hook into the 3rd chain to join insert at the center of the chain not the outer loop of the chain ...I hope I have explained it clear but if I can assist video you can tell me and will try to show you

[@AiyanaAtkinson]

Amazing tutorial! Can’t wait to start crocheting.What was the specific brand you used?

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Thank you for watching ❤️...the brand was from a local shop but it is cotton macrame cord 3mm thick....you can also use polyester macrame

[@AiyanaAtkinson]

@@MirrymasCrafts ok thank you!

[@shirleypeh4455]

Hi can i make this bag bigger.?how many stitich should i have for the base?

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Hie... yes you can. You can add any number of stitches depending on how bigger you want it to be

[@patriciamichelson8242]

I have a question when you making this tote and you’re going around with the double crochet does it really matter if you only put it in the back loops can you put it in both loops ?

[@MirrymasCrafts]

no it does not matter you can put in both loops for a different look but it will still come out fine

[@bhavnasingh6479]

Perfect tutorial. My bag turned out great. If i want a bigger tote, how many chains should I make?

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Thank you for watching ❤️😌....it depends with the yarn you used but for starters you could add a number of chains then work the first two rounds and see if you like the new width,then you also have to add the rounds for height....or you are familiar with simple proportion you could use that like measure the bag you made and say if these chains gave me this certain width then if I want this new width I would require so and so much chains and calculate and do the same for the height....but

[@bhavnasingh6479]

@MirrymasCrafts ok I understood. So it doesnt matter if it is odd or even number of chains?

[@MirrymasCrafts]

@@bhavnasingh6479 yes it doesn't matter if they are odd or even

[@Roli2323]

Very good could you pls tell me hoe many yarn did you use to make this tote bag

[@MirrymasCrafts]

I used about 220 metres of macrame cord

[@23Dawnemma]

Been going bag crazy since watching your video. If I want to make the handle thicker how would I go about doing so?

[@MirrymasCrafts]

Hie there....you could do another round of double crochet or you could do another round of single crochet though with single crochet it will be different from the rest of the rounds
