Can I make a bag using cotton yarn? Thank you for your videos! I made the ear warmer!! It’s my first project ever!! You are a very good teacher!! What a blessing! Your voice is so soothing too💗

[@soulfulnotions2648]

Thank you, I’m so happy you enjoyed them! 🙏🏼♥️ As for this bag, this is a cotton cord, 5mm Braided, the link is in the description below, but you can use a cotton yarn. You will probably want a think one, or to double up etc to get a thicker, or the bag may be smaller, but that might be really cute too! ☺️♥️

[@bekaleese7322]

I loved making this bag- it's so cute and the instructions so calming and clear ❤️ I want to make one in every colour! Is there a way to make the bag wider? Is it as simple as chaining a longer length at the begining? Thanks X

[@latonyabailey7971]

I’m going to try this with some t-shirt yarn. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

[@soulfulnotions2648]

Please do! I am excited to hear how it goes. I have only used t-shirt yarn once and the company wasn’t the best. Do you have any favourite brands or recommendations for t-shirt yarn?

I loved this tutorial so much, it is so elegant yet simple to do and as a beginner so easy to follow. My one thing is I can’t figure out why my bag is so small, I am under 9 inches for width it’s basically 8inches wide lol. I’m trying not to crochet so tight but looser isn’t working either! Should I try with a larger hook???

[@soulfulnotions2648]

Hi Sylvia, a fellow Canadian! Hello from B.C.! ♥️♥️ I’m so pleased you like the tutorial:) As for size, yes, you can definitely make a larger bag using this cord. I’ve made one about 4x the size to carry my crochet supplies and projects to travel, parks, beaches, etc. I will say the bag itself did get quite heavy! ☺️

[@sylviamacdonald7625]

@soulfulnotions2648 Hi Fellow Canadian ! It's so nice to see a Canadian content contributor. Thank you so much for responding so quickly as well. I live in a very rural area so supplies are not easy to obtain. Is there a thicker yarn perhaps I could us instead to achieve the same purse. I absolutely love the purse and your teaching method and voice are perfect for these videos I teach special needs children so I know a thing or two about teaching so please making content. Thank you again. Love & Blessings from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia xo 🤗

Hi Krystle, there are details on the month of cord used as well as much more helpful information in the description below. But to give a quick answer, no, this pattern uses the majority of a skein. You won’t get 2 bags from a single skein. ♥️
