Crocheting a Retro Flower Bag for Spring

[@zanderg7048]

just a Helpful Hint for commenters and next projects- if you end up making a bigger bag than original planning, use the access and make another seam to MAKE A POCKET!! waterbottles, mini umbrellas, or just a place to throw smaller items to easier find than in the main bag part!

Love that idea!🧡

[@torakfett3351]

What a great idea!

[@cats5596]

GUYS WAKE UP MICHELLE JUST POSTED!!!! 🎉❤

[@hanpear]

totally valid about the straps, i just made a much smaller bag with like 5 strands of worsted held together. i made it with like that curved one piece thing you mentioned making, and that in it of itself was enough work to not even want to attempt a similar strap with just one strand!

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

I wish you could post the finished piece. I’m so curious! I’ve seen 5 stranded blankets but not anything else.

[@GKM2016]

Cuuuuuute bag! You could carry it like a Japanese knot bag ❤

[@adelacoburn1396]

That's pretty groovy 💓🧡💛, I love it. Fantastic bag Michelle and thank you for the video.

[@jacquelinecasey1361]

Love the bag!

[@StetStitches]

I am very impressed by all of the thought you put into the details; re the strap color lengths, and the half flowers on the edges. I wouldn't have thought of that. Also, why did I never consider recording my intros before I plan on starting my projects... genius.

[@matthewschuman52]

Yes! It screams RETRO, and the colors are so cute 🥲

[@CatEyedFancy]

I LOVE the colors on the handles.

[@simongolden5883]

The way I screamed when I saw the thumbnail it is SO cute

[@beckypackqualls2745]

You: I’m going to use new colors on this project-Spring colors- same colors I always use!! 😅😂lol excellent bag! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@faithdockendorff4747]

Start saving up your money…the Stanwood 10oz yarn winder is THE BEST! And it can make huge cakes. It’s the top rated winder for a reason.

[@SherilynLatham]

Totally agree!!! I love the Stanwood

[@torakfett3351]

For what it’s worth, I think the bag is a great size! And the colors are amazing together, so 70’s! I’m living for it!

[@Blessed-2-b-a-Hembree]

That would make a cute top with a little modification. It is really cute.

[@torakfett3351]

The crochet hook though… I HAD to check out that website 😂😂 I’m sending my husband a bunch of screenshots so he knows which ones I like- anniversary coming up!! ❤❤

[@beththoreson9216]

That bag is adorable. Don’t change a thing!

[@SillySmiley94]

Michelle! I always love seeing one of your videos pop up in my feed. I've been binging your channel, and it's given me such inspiration for my crochet projects. It even motivated me to begin my very first crochet cardigan (I'm usually a blanket girlie.) This bag is beautiful! I love how the flowers look. 💕

[@reneehebert6986]

Such a cute bag. I like the multicolored straps.

[@stephrussostudio]

I love how it turned out! The colors are soo pretty!

[@Gagacrochets]

I love your videos and projects!! Cotton also makes wonderful spring and summer bags. 😀

[@ar_schaefer]

Cute bag

[@wesewpro]

Great bag. Have you considered using bobbins? Love the colors too.

[@julie-og4lu]

I absolutely love this pattern. It screams spring. Do you have free pattern written

[@Cocobellaeh]

Hey @MichelleJasek Soo your yarn winder is too small, that’s why you’re having issues with it, I think it can only hold like 100 grams or close to that. I saw it in one of Juan videos I believe…. He had the same one, and had the same issues I bought the blue metal one off Amazon and it’s great! I would recommend spending the money, I mean you’re spending a lot on the wool, you should get the right tools for the job. (Maybe 50$ CAD) 🌸🌸🌸 Thanks for the video… I could be projecting a bit too! lol I finally took the dive and. Bought the clover amour set 😮 Yikes, it was expensive without a coupon. 😊 What hooks do you prefer to use?

[@Cocobellaeh]

Hahah that’s crazy, I didn’t get to the part in the video when you were talking about hooks, before I asked my question lol 😂❤

[@GrimeDweller]

I had to have that crochet hook and I placed an order 😅

[@Lanchik1Bee]

I love your videos! The bag is super cute! Straps are to wide, and bit too short. Also green yarn must be expensive, being 100% Peruvian wool. Very cute design of the retro flowers. Will buy pattern and cotton or bamboo yarn for this bag.

[@KarenP1939]

I want to know would this be good for a beginner? I only knit

[@lucyhernandez3408]

l like your vest l know how to do granny Square

[@starv_x]

First!❤

[@c0ldlight1]

I love your videos and your crochet projects. However. You have me saying the phrase "Here's the thing" like 80 times a day lol. not a bad thing at all but I noticed I picked up the phrase. bahahaha.

[@abene5000]

Sounds like a lot of valid excuses 😂

[@muggy2452]

do u ever worry abt dye lots or do u not care? i freak out abt dye lots but i want to not care abt them anymore so i can use up my scrap yarn 😭

[@patch5383]

…i wonder if i could do this but like…make it the scooby doo flowers…
