How to Knit a Tote Bag! (Knitting Machine Pattern & Tutorial)

[@BSUHeather]

I loved making this! I also sized down the pattern to make small ones on my 32 needle machine tonight for my daughters they are adorable

[@angelickiwi493]

This is legit the coolest and easiest bag tutorial i have ever found. Ive made three already, i love this!!! Thank you!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Aw, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@kristaboston5895]

once again Diane - you are plowing new ground. I think I would see lining this and even adding a leather strap and making it a Crossbody for shopping. Yum!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Aww thank you!! And YES I actually forgot to mention in the video that if anyone sews, I'd love to see how it looks like a sewed lining! If you make it please let me know how it looks!!

[@lisagregory8303]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I have made two so far. I added some polyester batting inside the handle before crocheting close the second side, it feels great on my arm. I also added a large button where you put your tag, and made a rectangle with loop in order to close the bag when I am out, to avoid pickpockets at our market. I love these fabulously soft bags, and nnay now try your larger version. Thanks again. ❤

[@americanfemale100]

Sounds really awesome. Do you have a picture to share?

[@lisagregory8303]

I do but I don't know how to add it into this text. I'm not on social media either.

I have to give this a try!! I have visions of small project bags dancing in my head. Lol

Great video. Thanks much!

[@annieevans388]

No need to apologize for your "ramblings" - I love hearing them. In fact, I feel I'm talking to a friend when you share your thoughts. And not only a friend, but a kitting maven as well.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Aw thank you!

[@emiliebritton962]

Great job once again! I look forward to making some of these this summer. Thank you!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

I can't wait to see! It's been fun seeing everyone put their own spin on the pattern!

[@STsenait]

Well done sweet❤

[@donnaney5920]

Thanks, such a cute and easy pattern.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

I really appreciate that! It's been fun to see people putting their spin on it already!

[@heidiwieland6998]

How do I adjust the number of rows for a sentro 40 peg machine..

[@cazz_ess]

This is so simple. Thank you!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Right?! I feel like it looks more complicated than it actually is!

[@tarachatman5276]

Thank you!!! You have such good ideas!!!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Aww thank you!! I literally have 2-3 new ideas every day, but it takes me a few days to film and edit them all!! I wish I had an editing team lol!

[@NikitaGuidee]

how can i adjust this to work with a 40 needle machine pretty please? amazing tutorial

[@MsTinbin]

I love this pattern, many thanks for sharing. I am having trouble getting my hands on this wool. it is very expensive to ship it to Ireland. Can you reccommend another type of wool/substitute? Many thanks.

[@hebasaad9746]

Love it ,thank you for sharing ❤🌹

[@DianaLevineKnits]

You're so welcome! I'm actually putting the final touches on a new video now, should go live later tonight!

[@Maryann-wc9vo]

Thank u, love the bag

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Thank you so much!! If you make it please let me know! I'm tempted to make them in every color to match all my outfits!

[@craftycaz]

Fabulous

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Thank you so much!! If you make it please let me know!!

[@Margo1968]

Beautiful!! How many rows would be needed if making it on the 32?

[@julieflei]

Beautiful!

[@lucienecavalheiro8267]

I would love to know which TeX used to make your pieces, because I am from🇧🇷 and here has several Tex, I see that it is a little thick the wool🧶🤗❤️Tks

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Hi! I use "Loops & Threads" Impeccable yarn from Michaels, it is a Weight 4 medium yarn. I hope that helps!

[@wordscaninspire114]

Thank you 🌿

[@andreanehaul7892]

This is amazing thank you

[@DianaLevineKnits]

You're so welcome! Putting the finishing touches on a new tutorial now, should go live later tonight!

[@colleenovo1084]

I love your designs and learning how to make new things with my knitting machine. My only critique is that I wish you spoke a bit slower and slowed down on some of the explanations. Super cute nag

[@djcropat3473]

Love the bag. Would love to make it. How would I make it taller? Top to bottom and if I did make it taller would it also make it wider?

[@dawnclements7021]

Any way to make this bag a bit longer? Loved making the smaller one

[@junejohnston769]

Hi I'm using a 48 peg machine In following your instructions for 220 rows it makes the bag very big .could I cut this down to 180 and still get the dimensions correct .many thanks

[@celecute82]

Wowww.. Thank u for sharing. Actually I have made this but by sewing cloth never though that could be knit specially using knitting machine it's really inspire me since I'm newbies trying the knitting machine 😁. May I know the size of your tag u are using?

[@americanfemale100]

LOVE this bag!!! Question: where to buy the clasps for this and other tote bags? Thank you!

[@picklehead2000kmd]

I’m wondering how I could make the strap longer ?

[@DianaLevineKnits]

I'm actually working on another pattern coming soon that will have a longer strap :) stay tuned!

[@lindakhoury7141]

Genius!!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Aww THANK YOU! If you make the bag, please share with me on Instagram so I can see what you come up with!! @dianalevineknits

[@kathygibson348]

How do you think it would be with 2 colors?

[@chiaraferrante3922]

Hi,if i have an addi machine with 46 hook,how many rows i have to do? Thank you

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Hi! I haven't tried it with the 46 needle yet, but the important part is that the dimensions are the same. I actually ordered an Addi but it won't arrive for a few weeks - when I get it, I'll make it on the Addi and report back!

[@chiaraferrante3922]

@@DianaLevineKnits thank you!!!

[@paularad4754]

The best

[@merabetikram1804]

Do you make stickers or buy them, I want a reply please

[@soysarahstar4558]

Hi! I yust made this and the first tube ( the body ) is way to large

[@donnas2375]

Your tension can cause this...

[@taytay9172]

Is there any way to make this a touch deeper? My brain is having a hard time wrapping around how 😅

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Do you mean longer (top to bottom)? Or deeper (front to back?)

[@sorayanimeh002]

I like that

[@johnsendafun7363]

Can you also make a string bag using a knitting machine?

[@DianaLevineKnits]

I've never tried it before but I'll try to investigate and see if I can come up with something!

[@alexisruedinger3110]

Where’s the link to seam the tube? I’m so lost on seaming. I can’t even see how you seam it 🥺😢

[@joankeckstein4246]

Where do I find the small and medium size?

[@QueerlyKay]

Do you have the close up video of crocheting the tube closed? You mentioned it you'd like in description but it isn't there. TIA!

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Oops I need to add the link! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWqkfZmmfdSja7c

@@DianaLevineKnits Thank you so much! Making these for admin professional day as gifts :)

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Oh I love that!! Will you tag me on Instagram when they are done so I can share in my stories? It’s so fun seeing what color combos people are coming up with! @dianalevineknits on insta

[@Jessiebeast28]

Any slower videos of the corner and handle attachment? That part was too quick and on multiple replays I’m struggling to attach it nicely

[@tarabertolini3971]

If watching on KZbin, just slow the video speed down.

[@jaklinruch777]

I made the rectangle but when I fold it, 1 side is too long like it had too many rows but I did the 115 like the video said.

[@tarabertolini3971]

same here. Did you figure out a way to correct?

[@brandiwilcox1403]

How many inches will it be once your done making it on the machine? I don't have a counter on mine so I was wanting to know

[@DianaLevineKnits]

The video includes the length!

[@brandiwilcox1403]

Ok thanks

[@DianaLevineKnits]

@@brandiwilcox1403 it's at 3:10

[@brandiwilcox1403]

I just realized my machine is a 40 pin I did the pattern and put it together it just looks funny maybe I need to make two of the same length

[@donnas2375]

If a 40 pin is 5/6 narrower than a 48 pin, then you can roughly keep proportions by having the tube length be 5/6 too, making a 1/6 smaller bag though.

[@prayer4blessingsau]

Where do I find the tutorial for how to seem tube?

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Sorry I forgot to add the link! Will add that now. Here's the video that shows it's closer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWqkfZmmfdSja7c

[@prayer4blessingsau]

Thanks I'm a complete beginner only made 2 beanie so far but If I can convince my machine to work with me hopefully I can work this out😊

[@DianaLevineKnits]

@@prayer4blessingsau oh I bet you can do it!! It's not that much different than making a headband, just a couple of extra steps. Let me know if you have any questions!
