[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

Oh wow that’s amazing how it was the first pattern you read - great job!!! Thanks for your wonderful encouragement! I’m so happy to hear that you finished the market bag!

[@LiesbethD]

I bought the pattern but I'm so glad that you made a video with instructions 😍 with the pattern.. Is so much easier 💯😁

[@marythompson468]

LOVE this video. Your bags are beautiful and I am trying to help teach a woman to crochet. She prefers videos and your demonstration is wonderful. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Mary! So glad you found this video helpful!

Pretty, I love granny Squares! Thank you.

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

Thank you sooo much for your kind words! I love granny squares too - they are so versatile!

[@lildoanne]

Thank you! Realised I haven’t been doing my ending slip stitches the right way 😬

[@mrshungria]

I was giving myself fits trying to read the pattern (I'm a beginner crocheter and not a very good pattern reader). This video so well explains how and why the pattern is the way it is. Thank so very much for the video!

Wow how beautiful ❤️

Thanks so much 💖

You put it so well in the video.. Many many thanks for that 😁🎉

Thank you for this pattern :)

You’re very welcome 💖

[@craftercooke8418]

Excellent tutorial. Very clear. Looking forward to more.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! ❤️

This is my second video I am following and crocheting while watching it. You explain so well that even a beginner (me) can follow you. From the first video I made two bags. They are beautiful. I only added a drawstring bag inside. Do you always use 24/7 cotton yarn. Thank you for the class in crocheting.🥰

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

Thank you sooo much for following my videos and for your wonderful feedback 🥰 I’m so glad you found my explanations easy to understand! Yes I love using 24/7 Cotton for my bags since it is such a strong 100% mercerized cotton. I find that it does not stretch or fuzz up too easily!

Do you have a video on how to assemble/sew granny squares & do the straps for the wild rose shoulder bag?

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

I have a quick video showing how to do the slip stitch seaming in my Instagram highlight called “Shoulder Bag” - I will probably try and upload it as an IGTV video too. I don’t have a video showing the straps but it’s pretty straight forward with all single crochets and slip stitches, and I have plenty of pictures in my pattern/tutorial blog posts!

[@moffe3]

I am struggling with the strap part! I can’t figure out if I’m attaching it correctly. When you say to slip stitch to the wrong side of the bag, do you mean the inside of the bag? I feel like I keep getting it twisted no matter what I do.

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

@@moffe3 yes that’s right! The wrong side of the bag would be the inside of the bag (right side = outside of the bag)!

Are you from Alberta, Canada? I saw you had an Alberta pin in one of your shorts and now I see you have the wildrose granny square bags. I grew up there, so I’m just curious if that’s where you’re from. 🤗

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

Yes I’m from Alberta! That’s neat how you grew up here ❤️ You have sharp eyes since you spotted the pin! And yes I named the “Wildrose” series because of our provincial flower 🥰

[@ValentinesForever1]

Hello! Silly question, but I get rounded corners once I start the corners, and it is a bit smaller than yours. Should I use a bigger hook?

[@mirthacardenas1921]

El bolso color beige feria tan amable de enseñarnos re lindo. Todo gracias

[@leashrusso]

The colored one is beautiful!! Which yarn and colors did you use please? Thank you!

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

Thanks so much! I used 24/7 Cotton in Goldenrod, Ecru & Tangerine for the colourful square 🧶

[@sms57102]

Can you tell me the 24/7 colors used in three color variation square?

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

Definitely! For that square I used Ecru, Goldenrod & Tangerine 🧶

[@hmcvean]

Up to row 4 the pattern is very tight and cupped. Does it smooth out by itself?

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

I blocked my final squares to smooth them out and flatten the stitches. If you find that it’s cupping quite a bit, you can also use a larger hook size to reduce the tightness!

[@skytv2832]

Can you teach me how to make Chinese New Year sheep?? I saw it in your post in pinterest , please :"333

[@courtneyroberts3228]

I’m currently making these to make a tote bag (i love them thank you for posting a pattern), did you line the bags?

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

Hi Courtney! I’ve seen some people who have lined the market bag with beautiful fabric! I personally use a bag organizer insert that I can just slip inside - it instantly adds zipper closure and many compartments! I have the link to the organizer in the blog post (I use the large size for the market bag and the small size for the shoulder bag & backpack)!

[@burritoshmoritojr.3218]

13:20 Round 5 for Market Bag

[@CG-vd4nu]

The Round 3 "clusters" are a cluster of 3 double crochets.

[@MicksMom365]

Clusters are dc2tog or dc2tog. Doing only dc 3 times will make the pattern flat and lose the puff effect.

[@sabrinag28]

me waiting for the person who says the crochet pattern 😐

[@AllAboutAmiBlog]

This granny square is used for the “Wildrose Backpack” and “Wildrose Market Bag” 🩷
