This took me 2 days (a couple hours each day) to complete and I love it! I made it for my niece as a Christmas gift and now I want to make myself one! I've never crocheted a big project before so this was fun!

[@noahmahina7671]

from all the tutorials that i've watched about granny squares, by far yours is the easiest one to follow (i'm still a beginner with a bit of experience) and your voice is really relaxing. Thank you!!

Hi Vivian ! I'm a crochet beginner and i started crocheting thanks to your videos with such easy guiding !

I love how easy you've made it for beginners like me also your voice is so calming I'm in love ! Thank you sooo much !! Looking forward to more tutorials from you💞💞💞

Am I the only one who ended up with a rectangle instead of a square? So 6 of these were enough instead of 9 😭

[@Ilovetocrochet631]

I followed all the stitches you've done but why does mine deformed?😢

[@Ilovetocrochet631]

Instead of square, it came out like diamond and the heart was LOPSIDED 😭 (this is my first time making a granny square)

[@nashy391]

When making the granny square you probably either skipped chains or didn't started the square around the heart on the 4th stitch

[@giasanders3340]

@@Ilovetocrochet631SAMEEEE

[@barbarawisniewska9748]

If I use yarn with smaller weight, my squares will end up smaller, am I right? 🤔 Then I just have to do more squares to get the bag in similar size like yours? 🧐

[@VivCrochets]

Yes, that’s right!

[@Afsana-626]

Thanks ❤

[@HaileyWright-l8s]

Hi great tutorial, but the only thing is that my squares are coming out in a rectangle, and the top is longer than the bottom but I'm following each stitch you do? probably just my error but either way love the bag

How do I make a granny square of the same size without the heart? I kinda want to do 3 hearts across like how you gave an example on your blog. 🥹

To anyone who already made the bag and tried it out is the strap thick? Cause I've made other tote bags and all of them stretch because of the weight I put it

[@shiroshiro5496]

i was having the same issue; i just fluffed up a bit the two semi-circles on top and tying together the two hanging threads that you’re supposed to weave in (tying them on the back of the square). that gave much heart-y shape for me personally, hope this helps ❤

On my granny squares, the part where we did 2 tr, ch2, 2tr, or 2dc, ch2, 2dc, my granny squares have very big holes. I feel like if I put stuff in the bag, it’s gonna stretch out more and stuff is going to fall out. What did I do wrong?

You can try doing just ch1 instead to make the holes smaller! It might not lay flat, but blocking can help

hi! if you have more than 9 stitches, that means you need to redo your round 3. you must have accidentally added in stitches!

The bag does look beautiful. But it won’t last long. I would never spend $185 on it, it’ll be like throwing money away. All you could carry in it is your purse, perhaps a very light book and makeup. You can get a good leather bag for the same price!😮

[@VivCrochets]

Thanks for the feedback! I understand it’s out of budget for some people, but it would be a disservice to myself as well as other fiber artists to price it less than my time is worth. Besides, a lot of people, like me, do only carry a few things in my bag. And this tutorial gives you a way to make it yourself and pay with your own time if you want!

[@Shallyyarn]

How do you know it wouldn't last long you haven't even tried it and also its made with cotton yarn which is better. Ofcourse its gonna be expensive its handmade and no one asked you to buy it so I dunno why you're complaining 💀💀💀

[@11kwright]

@@Shallyyarn I’m not complaining I’m stating in my opinion that as much as it’s handmade and creative it’s still not worth that amount. I understand the economics of time taken to make or craft something but that’s just business. Wheather you can sell something for your time to make a living out of. However, I’m not taking away her great creativity or anything he really good video. It’s like “ people dont want to pay that much for something when a little more money will get them the best of material and bang bucks for your money - leather. I think to make something like a bag out of cotton, wool etc, for profitability you’d have to consider a machine that would bang it out at little to no time and then you could sell it at a reasonable margin above time and cost! I didn’t mean to offend anyone cos it’s a nice bag - although hopefully lined! I can easily afford that bag as my usual purchases are £300 + when it comes to bags. But just couldn’t justify that amount for some cotton crochet. Some things no matter how much time is invested is still never going to balance out with costs because the consumer will weigh the cost and time taken. Tbh the time taken bares no resemblance on the cost except only to the maker. The consumer is just concerned with cost!!!!
