I love the added dimension on the black and red bag. Its stunning.

[@mosrite2speek4us]

I am so grateful, in joining squares, that you. detailed all of the steps in process and laid out proper way to line squares up. Thank you.

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are very welcome, thank you for watching

[@KattStrike]

I'm coming back to my granny square bag yeeeears after starting (I'm here to do the handles now aha) You originally taught me how to crochet, which is now a hobby I share with my mother-in-law - it's brought us so much joy! (We are always sharing our crochet projects with other). Thank you so much!! I would have never learned without your videos ☺

[@CrochetwithClare]

that is so sweet. thank you for following me and enjoy your time with your MIL

[@ladysundragon]

Honestly I love the red/black one with the ridge. I love the texture & character it adds to the bag. To each their own, eh? :)

[@Diddledumdum1944]

I made this bag in black and red,my niece loved(SO DID I) so I gave it to her for her birthday.Since then I have made 6 bags,one of these days I will get round to making myself one,will tell people my crochet hooks are on holiday.

[@CrochetGranny7]

I want to thank you for your videos on KZbin. I have crocheted for many years but I was stuck just making the same items over and over again. Since watching your videos I have crocheted along and made many of your projects. Once again, Thanks so much.

[@Emmajen]

What a fantastic idea!! :) I might have to make one of these in the future! I adore how the grey and pink one looks!!

[@Squishytrishy]

I really like the red and black one. The grey and pink is nice too, but I think the ridges really add that something extra :)

[@happilyapeterman]

thanks I got my granny squares crocheted together just have to make the handles. It's funny that you did the flower squares too. I didn't have enough of the same color as the flower to put them together so i don't have the two tone like you between the squares and the crocheted seam but it still looks cute. I'll post a pic when it's all done.

[@morevaseret]

Used the Stained Glass Window granny square pattern for the bag and it looks gorgeous.I made it to match a pram blanket. Thanks for the pattern. :) Will also make another bag using patchwork squares. This pattern will run and run. Happy New Year 2013 and keep up the lovely designs ♥ Maureen

[@DerynBeale]

Thank you I have seen the link now :) I was on my phone so never saw it when I first posted the comment. Only 3 more squares to do and the handles and my bag is done. Thank you!

[@isahiswan6207]

Your bag is really beautiful and i like the pattern that you show because i never seen like crocodile scale before thank you so much at less i can learn something from you

[@HarajukuHoshi]

Beautiful purses!

[@valkiernan8306]

This is another beautiful bag, Was thinking to add just a bit of pop to it, to add a D ring for the straps, and maybe some cheap chain on it.. I do love these.. such talent on these bags... Thank You for another positive pattern... Another thing for this bag, is to not attach the handles but make a simple handle out of double chains, so I can tie it on my Mother in Laws Walker, for when she goes out and gets her mail, This bag for her would be a dream for her to have on her walker especially when she goes to the market to pick up a few things...

[@CrochetwithClare]

Such awesome ideas Val, you mu is going to look great with her new bag

[@valkiernan8306]

Clare, You make it easy. You have such imagination with your crochet. I love looking at your patterns, Once in a while... lol.. my light bulb clicks on. I have been looking for something like this, I thought of making her my favorite one that you do. but there is to much give in it, and am afraid it might knock off her balance. This is just big enough and the design of it, it more sturdy with the single crochet join. I am also thinking it would be wide enough that it wouldn't swing and hit her legs as she walks. Yet the top is small enough where things won't fall out easily. I will do them both this weekend, and see which one will be more heavy for her.. Will let you know which one I have decided to use.. Thanks Again.

[@LINDA230651]

I would describe Pretty side as chain edge uppermost. I find sewing squares together, matching stitches back to front then front to back rather than over-stitching, but lovely bags and thanks for sharing :o) And may I say you have beautiful hands and nails!

[@hanzlaMuhammad]

waaooo so beautiful bag l will try it definitely. well done

[@DOSBoxMom]

That's how I join granny squares, too, by crocheting 1 long seam joining pair after pair of granny squares, then coming back later and crocheting the cross seams. Haven't yet tried a tote bag, though -- but your design looks the easiest of the granny square bag patterns I've seen.

[@71mslight]

Thank-you for adding the 24 square layout. I really enjoyed making these bags :)

[@edithmiranda8484]

Good to know! I want to make the red/black bag and I looked at the Lela flower square tutorial and I was also wondering how wou did it ^^ Mine is going to be a lightblue with light teal ^^ Still thinking whether the flower is going to be blue of teal :P

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes you can sew it all with right sides together or you can sew it all wrong sides together

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi Yes I did add a row of half double crochet to the lela flower square :)

[@SewKnotty]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for posting. :) I was wondeirng/hoping you could post a tutorial for the same granny square bag only messenger style. That would be great! And I'm sure it would be really popular, too.

[@Swangels3]

Hi, Do you have a video on how to make the Granny Squares too? I would like to make the red and black granny square bag. Please let me know. I went to the website but it doesn't give a video on the granny squares, unless I missed it somehow. Great video, I love pretty much all your videos, keep them coming. Thank you, Cassandra

[@CrochetwithClare]

Here is the link for the red and black granny video: Lela's Flower Crochet Granny - Flower can be made seperate

[@hanghonganh]

[@Anawilundawa]

[@ChristinaFromFlint]

Hello! Subscribed just today... teaching myself how to crochet solely by your KZbin vids! I'm going to ATTEMPT to make two of these purses for my beautiful nieces, aged 6 and 8 years. How many granny squares should I make/use for a child's sized bag? Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these vids... Before finding your channel, I didn't even know how to make a slip knot onto my hook, let alone a chain. ~Christina, Beginner in Michigan

[@CrochetwithClare]

Welcome to crochet !! Welcome to my channel and thank you for watching :) I would make your square smaller than 4 inches for the childs bag :)

[@maysanaser90]

Thank you so much , that is so nice of you to reply on me

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi Xara The red section where it is raised, I single crocheted the Lela's flower together with the red yarn Hope this helps you and thank you for watching my videos

[@CrochetwithClare]

I can not remember :) But i would sew it the right way out :) Thanks for watching

[@barbiecute88]

I m sooo up for this challenge

[@karunathilakadingiribandag4541]

[@barneyrubble9897]

karunathilaka dingiribandage u

[@janitasoares4889]

love the red and black bag! can you tell me how you sewed the squares together to get the ridges?

[@CrochetwithClare]

they are from a previous tutorial called Lela's flower granny :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi there I used 1 and 1/2 of the red so about 10 oz and the black one about 7oz thank you for watching

[@queendiva1073]

These are amazing how do u make the flower granny square

[@arunaverma4088]

Very nice

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you !

[@CrochetGranny7]

I am now working on the Granny Square Bag crochet tutorial.

[@xaragiannopoulou1161]

Thanks for the answer... Yes i mean the ridge. How are the red sguares are crocheted together and finally they look like "higher" ? The dimension look you are saying in the video. I have make 8 years ago my squares. I found them in a box yesterday.... I also found again your tutorial and i decided to ask again how i can make the red ridge ... How youbare crocheting the squares together ? Can you add o small video down below ? Thank you so much. I am watching you so many years , thank you for all.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, before i joined the squares I did 1 round of single crochet all the way around, I put 3 sc into each corner, and here is how I joined them together kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3rIY6ambtRlm8U Hope this helps you, thank you for your question.

[@CrochetwithClare]

It is not nessasary to make a liner, but it would stop small items falling though holes

[@lindagiacomozzi4477]

Hello when would you line the bag before you sew it up or after??????Love the bag and the colors

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Linda Giacomozzi I think it would be much easier to line it before you close up the bag :)

[@maysanaser90]

Im a crochet beginner & am really excited to make this purse as as a gift for my mother in law . It looks soo gorgeous . Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial videos foe free :)

[@cantertweet]

This bag is beautiful! Can you make it smaller? Or is the 17 square bag the smallest it can be? I'm partial to the red and black one! It's gorgeous!! I love the raised edges around the squares. Have you made a liner for this bag? I made your crochet hook case and love it, I love your tutorials and the way you teach

[@hananhosny3348]

[@ritaspeakinbengalibanerjee3624]

I ave found few but they look more like socks, I would like to make the ones that are low just to cover the toes look like ballerinas sleepers if you would I would really appreciate it

[@BunnyBaby615]

[@carolyngardner9768]

Love your videos.... Do you have a video or diagram to convert this to a king size bedspread using 8 different color squares to create the ziz zag look... I know I'm asking a lot but really want to do this for my husband ..... Thanks for your help in advance....

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Carolyn, sorry for the slow reply I do not have a diagram for that style sorry

[@goodmom715]
