I started crocheting earlier this month and this video is really nice. It's taken me about a week of intense crocheting to finish this bag and I'm really happy with the result even though I didn't make it perfectly. Thank you for the tutorial :D, definitely going to look into making your other videos. I just wish there were time stamps for each row so it's easier to go back to where I left off when I got lost.

[@KristinesCrochets]

Thank you for watching the tutorial! Glad it was helpful. ❤️

[@adelynt1727]

Hi. I really love your beautiful shell tote bag and I tried twice to make till round 4 but couldn't get it right. I'm not sure where is the mistake, instead of getting (repeat 15 times around), mine is more than 15, I think 17. Kindly help me out, why there are extras. Tqvm.

[@norhafizahisa-thorslund8157]

hi I wonder if it's ok to use Yarn Art macrame cotton if I can't find worsted aran?

[@cheerbabyxx1]

Hi, I'm new to this. Is there any way I could make the bag wider. Do you have any tips please

[@karentemplin7902]

i see alot of macrame cotton yarns , but in different mm thickness. Would you please tell me what size thickess of cord you are using? Love your instructions, Thank you.

[@karentemplin7902]

Sorry, I just saw the thickness in you notes above.

[@amandamisaki]

Thank you for this tutorial! Do you think I could replicate this with 2mm yarn instead? 😮 how different would it be?

[@KristinesCrochets]

Thank you for watching! ❤️ I think it might turn out a bit smaller.

[@Master_Tiger_]

Hi ... can u please make a video on crochet half gloves with fingers for winter ,but that have open area for fingers . I understand your videos so easily thats why i am making a request ❤❤ . Love your crochet always ❤

[@ChaiChiewMei]

Hai Kristine, can I use 2mm macrame cotton yarn to crochet this bag?

[@user-cq6yf3ed4q]

Hi would it be possible to do this with 2 colours? Say 2 rows blue of white then 2 white etc?

[@KristinesCrochets]

Yes, I think it would look cute.

[@PaulineJune]

Hi can I use this pattern for a bag that I might sell?
