How to Knit a Messenger Bag Purse! (Circular Knitting Machine Pattern & Tutorial)

[@ElTiano21]

Your work is IMPECCABLE, EXCELLENT and so motivating! I started knitting about 5 years ago and did it for a month and then put it aside and never went back to it. I found your channel last month, and I have picked it up again with all the ideas you have in every video. Not only it’s a wonderful craft but learning to knit all this new colorful stuff has truly helped my stress, anxieties, and depression. I have already asked my husband to buy me your book and a Sentro Machine for my birthday next week. And This Christmas EVERYONE is getting a knitted item inspired by you. Also, the colors your use for your pieces and the background for your videos and how you edit them, makes them very happy and cozy to watch and i don’t ever want to fast forward through them. Please, please POST MORE VIDEOS, we LOVE ❤️ watching them. Thank you sooo much for helping me rediscover how much I love knitting and how much it helps me mentally. You’re a ROCK START, Diana!

Oh my gosh what a sweet message!! I'm so glad you've found joy through my videos, that is the goal!! I get so much joy (and de-stressing / relaxation time) from working with my machines and it's a dream to think that my videos could inspire the same in others!! I definitely plan to get back to filming videos for the channel in the next couple of months! I'm a bit of perfectionist so each one takes about a week of editing, so I needed to take a little break-but I'll be back with more new videos later this year! Thanks again for your kind words and encouragement!

That seaming technique is so smart . Thank you for sharing these ideas with others . God bless you !

I love ❤️ your explanation and guidance on these purses. I just bought my first sentro knit machine and cant wait to make these

[@tinglevilleasmr]

I love the clarity and details

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!

[@dailyandordinary]

Oh this is so awesome! I already have a long tube knitted but I didn’t know which one of your bags I wanted to make so I’ll definitely make this one. I have so much yarn and with the weather getting warmer I didn’t know what to do with my yarn. I found your channel at the perfect time!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Oh that’s awesome!!! Haha I always have long tubes lying around too, waiting to become patterns!! Please tag me if you make it so I can share your work! 😍

[@ChaseTheDarkness]

Lovely tutorial. Was wondering what to do if someone doesn't have a 22 pin machine? I only have a 40 and 48 pin any recommendations?

Thank you so much for your tutorials.

[@sunnydaisy5906]

Love this bag. I carry the office mail to the post office after work and think this bag would be perfect for that. Do you have your video yet of the larger version of this messenger bag? Love your videos great job ❤

[@Janscreatons]

Love these purses and all of your videos!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Awww thank you!! I’m really on a purse kick lately 🤣 more coming soon!!

[@grandmasmagic3858]

I'm wondering how much stretch there will be on the handles once you add weight to the bag..an idea crossed my mind that you could include a length of scrap cotton material inside the strap/handle, sewing it in place inside, then once you add weight to the bag it can only go so far...also perhaps line the inside of the bag for the same reason...otherwise I rather like the look of them...

[@grandmasmagic3858]

@@stooglesgoogles7246 perhaps put a solid base in the bottom.

[@rentautjo6404]

Another masterpiece! Awesome work, I've added this to the growing list of things I'd like to try.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Awww YAY!! That makes me so happy to hear!! Keep me posted when you make them, I love sharing people's work!

[@SammieSixxInvitations]

I can not wait to make this

[@lifewithjaz21]

QUESTION? I Don't have a 22 pin but.i do have a 48 pin so can.i still make the strap?

[@carmenh.5195]

You are so amazing and creative👏🏾👏🏾

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Aww I so appreciate that! Knitting machines have been a really fun creative outlet during this crazy time!

[@carmenh.5195]

I love my knitting machines!! I finally received my Addi King size last week and that bad boy has been going nonstop. Lol

[@indiaamazon5111]

Such a cute pattern

[@DianaLevineKnits]

That’s so kind of you to say, thank you so much!!

[@jayflyte4166]

I don't have the smaller version of the machine to make the handle. Any tips? (I have the sentro 40 needle machine)

[@emiliebritton962]

Nicely done Diana! I’ll be making one soon! And then another, and another... lol

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Yesss! I think these would make really sweet gifts too :) :)

[@justanotherreseller351]

Dang i dont have a small sentro knit machine, only the big machine right now. Do i have to have the small one to make the handles?

[@andreaabbraccio2307]

Very nice. Thank you

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Thank you so much! Happy crafting :)

[@becky6997]

Ok now i see why scrap yarn is used, I didn't do that part 1 I'm still learning 2 I didn't know why you did that I have to much done now to frog it. I'm wanting my bag to be waterproofed as I'm wanting to use this for when I'm at work I work outside in all weather.

[@classycrafttt9784]

🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love them, will definitely try one...

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Aww I can't wait to see! They are really cozy, it's like a scarf where you can store your stuff haha

I love your channel! Amazing! Can you do a video on your wreath? Keep up your hard work!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

I can't wait to get back to filming videos! I've been working on finishing my second book, so after that I'll share some patterns from the book here on YT! Not sure which ones yet :)

[@justanotherreseller351]

I used weight 3 yarn on the sentro 22 needle machine and it is too thin of material. the weight 4 yarn is too thick . it gets stuck on the 22 machine for the handle. any suggestions

[@summerdehner9346]

Is there any way to make This bag without the smaller knitting machines? I only have a sentro 48. Would I make a flat panel instead and seam it together to make the handle tube? I'm sorry I'm still learning to use this machine.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Hmmm. You could definitely try knitting a long flat piece and using the mattress to seam the side to make a tube! I haven't tried it myself so I don't know how it would look but it seems like it would work!

[@victoriamoxley4401]

I was wondering the same thing? I wonder if it would work if you make a tube in the Sentro 48 then fold it in half before attaching it to the bag? In probably way overthinking this 😂 Such a cute bag I’m willing to try it!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

@@victoriamoxley4401 I was thinking the same, but I think the handle would be really heavy if you did it that way. You could try it though!

[@KikisCreations]

I was thinking the same too lol. I have the sentro 40

[@MhabsOppus]

Is it possible to do this bag with only 22 needles? I only have 22 needles knitting machine

[@mxxnarchv]

Can i use knitting machine with 40needles or i need to buy 48needles only to make all this craft?

[@justanotherreseller351]

did you put your machine on Tube Or Pannel?

[@justanotherreseller351]

My bag measures only 7 in wide..is that ok? I have the 22 pin machine

[@odelindajuandediosquito678]

Amo todos tus videos 😍 Qué tipo de hilo o estambre usas?

Hello! is it okay if i sell the items i make from this pattern? I will give you credit in my caption.

[@debrareddell9360]

Do you shop to Australia??thanks

[@mayllufrio9325]

Hola ,ya ví que con el de 48 , hizo 110 rondas y 5 de cada lado con otro color y con la de 22 rondas que medida tienen, por favor ? Ya se que siempre debemos de hacer el principio y final de 5 rondas de un color distinto, si resalta mucho mejor, para que sea fácil de desmantelar después que unamos los extremos. Muchas gracias por compartir el tutorial.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

¡Hola! el tamaño de la pieza debe ser de 21,5 pulgadas cuando esté terminada. Lo siento si mi español no es bueno, estoy usando un traductor.

[@xhaozdesigns]

I did something similar but two pockets in the interior and no where close to this pattern.

[@amandameicher1940]

Yes!! Amazing.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Thank you so much!! Lots more coming soon! ❤️

[@elfieeleza2293]

How do I sew in fabric in the bag?

[@kimdunlap8050]

I’ve started this project and making the large purse. I don’t have a 22 SENTRO machine I only have the 48 SENTRO how can I do the strap with the 48 SENTRO if I can

[@Sewsweet08Australia]

Buy one?

Can someone link the video to seal the tubes together. I can’t seem to find it

[@vero169]

hola la correa no se podria hacer con una maquina de 48 agujas

[@seirrastclair4423]

I made it, and it is way to big for what I wanted and I can't take it apart now. I don't understand the stitch marker part at all so now I've wasted yarn and idk what to do with the project 😭
