I cannot imagine those that are disliking this channel and videos....you must be haters is all I can think! I love that this is where I originally relearned to crochet after picking up my hook after 41 years!

[@jessicawitney5370]

I would say I am a beginner and have never done the star stitch but decided to just jump in and give it a go. I am now half way through and this tutorial is very easy to follow with very clear instructions. I can’t wait to finish and make more. Thank you 🌟

[@eeshasree]

This video is really helpful. It’s quick and easy and works up quickly. I’m making it for my aunt and I’m sure she’ll love it! It took less than a day and the star stitch looks really cool. I was able to do this and I just started crochet like a month ago and I am a beginner. Thanks for making this video

[@ginnyhanks1340]

Thank you Melanie for sharing your talents. This is a perfect little bag for my Pastor's daughter. She's turning 3 in a few days. She's going to love this Bag. 💖🙏

[@lindastonebraker2512]

Miss you! I’m so happy I can still use your patterns here.

[@rowdeo8968]

I miss her! I tear up thinking of her and her educating us!

[@rinskamoritz5613]

Just made your cute little starstitch drawstring bag. Lovely pattern well written and demonstrated. Thanks Melanie a such fun little project.

[@rinskamoritz5613]

I'd add a photo, but can't see where I can do that, sorry.

[@doughnutask4763]

Thank you for the video. Easy to follow. I have now made 4 more of these with different patterns to practice stitches.

[@patriciamcbride2428]

Melanie Angel, I am still learning from you here, you are a great teacher..

[@cheeofappleton9484]

Thank you for sharing this pattern! My mom is going to love the one I made for her!

[@bella-is1zy]

This tutorial and pattern were just amazing. Thank you. I modified it slightly by doing a solid color for the base and a separate color for the top part of the bag. I also put a star on the side of it and made it a bit shorter. Truly just a wonderful bag and a perfect christmas gift. Thank you again.

[@kcooney66]

I love all your tutorials- so easy to follow! These bags are adorable. You always have the prettiest yarn and fabric!

[@pixgeekphotography]

What a great idea for a bag and I LOVE this stitch!!! I was just cruising and found your tutorial!!! I am going to make these for Christmas gift bags too! Love this!!!!

[@carolclaibornemumey8919]

Sending feelings of hope to the Ham family. I'm at 21:14 into this video and Melanie is holding up a rainbow bag. Outside my widow appears the most gorgeous rainbow after a storm! This is also right after I watched Robert's gorgeous film about Melanie and their family. It might be a coincidence, or...

[@spencerhastings9272]

Portuguese is my native language and there are a lot of crochet channel, but I've never understood how to crochet this star stitch😩 So thanks to your tutorial I finally got it. 🥰 Almost finishing my bag with a mercerized cotton yarn, using a 1.75 mm hook.

[@dailmamonteagudo6400]

Thank you so much. You are a great teacher. I love the way you explain step by step tour creations.

Hi Melanie, I want to learn to Crochet but I am not sure where to start or what to buy for beginners. Do you have some advice on that😁🧶

[@marieblackwell1839]

I've already started my bag I'm really excited for the end result. I tried to follow a tutorial of a tulip bag, with an interlocking crochet design but it was way above my skill level right now

[@carmenb4802]

Ooh! Beautiful!!!!

[@jessicacrespin-herrera8269]

[@LovelyLJ]

Thank you for this tutorial and your magic circle tutorial because I have a really hard time with starting these kinds of projects. Your videos are so easy to follow. Could you do tutorials for door baskets? And hanging plant holders? The kind that drape down in front of the window.

[@cathyridley3005]

So cute!! Thanks!😊

[@donnabush7938]

These bags are so cute! They can be used for so many things! In fact, they would be perfect for the face scrubbies you had the tutorial for!

Love this pattern :) just one question to be sure....at some point in 04:21 you say “double crochet”. I believe it is half double as on previous rounds, right? I am a beginner and don’t wanna mess this up 😃 thanks

[@svetlagalova2668]

im gonna try to make this bag

Hello. I love your crafts.. And I lesrned alot from your videos.. What type of yarn did you use in this bag?

[@janawalczuk833]

I wish someone would answer this…I need to know, too

[@CecyB2]

I discovered your channel today! Simply amazing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! A big hug from 🇮🇹😊

[@AseelShaq]

Gorgeous ❤ I'm in love

[@trinaperry264]

I've recently discovered your channel. Love it. I have a question though... when changing colors I'm sooo worried that the ends will just unravel sooo I'm always tying a knit because logic tells me that if washed, it will unravel. I admit my logic can be skewed sooo will you explain HOW they don't just unravel?

[@onerainbowwoman]

Thank you

[@carolinabecerra4057]

To cute friend and Happy new year 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶

[@JacqsieRae]

Cute bag...hope everything is fine

[@demyjc3400]

This is marvelous 🥰 But I have a problem, the place where I join my last star in a row with a slip stitch... It's very ugly and obvious... Also.. the beginning of slip stitch in row one of stars, seems to be moving 🦴.... 🤭

[@Krista-mp4ir]

On the last two rows of the bottom of the purse, is she skipping 3 or 4 stitches and then doing the half double crochet stitch?

[@faridamajor316]

So is it one row star stich and one row triple crochet twice in each space ?

[@alifanisar5171]

Thanks for this pattern mam may allah bless u

[@rowdeo8968]

She was a lovely person she passed fr cancer and I was shocked

[@jeminamudgway9962]

Could you make this into like a shoulder bag where the draw string is super long to go as a strap???

[@theaavellano]

Is the chain one also counted as stitch?

[@AlindaBaptiste]

What type of yarn you use and where can i get it?

[@susanyasay5353]

I love this , i want to try this, can i ask, what kind of yarn did you use?

[@shantel5061]

How would I do the draw strings if I wanted to make it more like a backpack? Thank you for all your cute ideas!
