Crafty Patti if I wanted to make the bag broader, should I be adding strands by 8? Thanks!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

You can increase the size by adding 4 strands, 8 strands or 12 strands. Always in sets of four.

[@slk9104]

Crafty Patti thanks very much! :)

Fantastic result! I made a bag using 5mm 3 strand cotton, had a slightly shorter handle but still could be worn over the shoulder! Would probably have added 30cm to each strand. Great tutorial, thanks!!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

That’s great! Glad you liked your final results! Yes, the thicker cord will definitely take up more length. I used the 3mm.

[@farshogarddumasia1258]

You can always vary the design for different handles. Or you can attach wooden ring handles for a different look.

[@lisabrantley5386]

Hi Patty, I’m confused (as a newbie to macrame AND not made a bag before), how did you make the FIRST handle? You show it already completed and then instruct to copy the first one…..as I’m making it for the first time, I don’t already have one to “copy”. It would be so much easier to SHOW the first one, THEN tell people to copy that for the 2nd side. So to make the 1st handle, I just lay out the two strips of cords and overlap them at the top, trying to make them approx 10.5” and then tape all of it together (12 cords all together)? Thanks in advance for your help. This tutorial is so much nicer than others I’ve watched. Theirs have cords in knots all over the inside….yours is very clean and turned out so beautifully!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

You didn’t need to see the first handle being made as I show you how to make it. Once you have made one handle than you can copy that size for your second handle. And just like you said above. Try and make your handle measure about 10.5” like I showed in the video.

[@Fanatyczka98]

Can I do 1 side of the bag first, then do the other side or I have to do it simultaneously ?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

You will only be able to go so far and then you will have to join in the sides, so yes you have to do both front & back simultaneously.

YOU ARE THE BEST!! Thank youuu

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thanks so much Josie!

[@josalee6479]

If I were to cut the length in half (32 x 1.5 meters) would that make the bag half the size? I like this pattern better than any I have found on the internet, however I don’t want it as big. Would it maybe be better to do 2 meters per cord?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Always better to have too much cord rather than not enough so I would go with the 2 metre lengths for a shorter bag.

[@josalee6479]

Crafty Patti thank you! So helpful and quick :) I’m subscribing!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Your very welcome. The shorter bag will be cute. It stretches out so will still be useful for many things. Thanks for subscribing.

[@lionelchin7042]

Very tidy bag design. Looks strong too. With 3mm string and the 32 strands, what is the approximate width of the bag? Will it be able to hold broad round items like a football or do I have to use more strands?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

It measures about 11” (28cm) in width. It has some give to it so yes you probably could get a football in there.

[@aleksandragaska7114]

If I want to make it wider, do I have to add extra 4 or 8 stripes?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

4 more cords will give you 8 strands. So decide if that is wide enough for you. If not than add 2 more each time for extra width. So 6,8,10 etc. Keep in mind that you will have to alter the pattern a bit when you get to the handles.

[@LauraSaggioro]

Can I make that bag with 2,5 meter long cords? I was following a different tutorial but I didn’t like it.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

You can. Your bag will just be shorter than the one I made, which is fine because it stretches lots. Just don’t do as many rows of the square knots so you have enough left over for your handles.

[@TemplarX2]

Amazing. I've found some really tough natural fiber I've turned into thin ropes. I will weave a shopping bag like this with my new fibers. I can't find the length of rope to use for each strand.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I cut 32 pieces at 3 metres (3yds 10”) each.

[@leilaguterres5953]

Amei 💕🇧🇷

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Thanks!

[@laurenkeen8328]

This looks great! Would it be ok to use 4.5mm cord instead of 3mm?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Yes you can. A thicker cord will take up more length so make sure you cut your first strands a lot longer. The finished bag will be a bit larger as well

[@Justme-Diana]

Hello wonderful tutorial. Can you tell me the finished size of the bag please.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

28x28cm or 11x11” for the size of the bag not including handles.

[@shaffycat]

this looks so good am wondering I have some precut 200cm lengths already could I use them and would it make the bag smaller or should I just go with the length you have stated :) thanks

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I used 3 metre lengths and you are hoping to use 2 metre lengths. If you want to use up your cut cords than you could make a smaller bag. I would suggest making it a bit narrower and you will not be able to macrame as many rows as I did. 1/3 less rows. You need enough left over for the handles. This bag stretches a lot so a smaller bag will still be useful.

[@shaffycat]

@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thanks I decided to use the 3mt anyway and will use my smaller cords for other projects :) so far its looking great and am excited to see the finished bag

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Great. Glad you got it worked out.

[@memiheeder7270]

Thank you Patty!

[@vella8650]

Can you tell me which rows have side square knots?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

That will make it more difficult. Just remember that you are doing alternating square knots. When you have 2 cords left over on each side than you know that those will create a side with a square knot. Using two cords from the back and two cords from the front.

[@hf_77]

Thank you so much!!💕💕💕

[@vella8650]

When you say 16 rows, do you mean on each side? Or all together?

16 rows for each side.

[@claudida6052]

Thank you for the nice Tutorial! I want to try it out, but i only have macrame cord with 4mm. Is there something i should make different? Like, how long do i have to cut the cords instead? Thank you, for your help!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

A thicker cord will definitely take up more cord length. I cut my strands 3 meters long using the 3mm cord. To be really safe for the 4mm cord I would cut each strand 4 meters long. If you don’t have enough macrame cord than try 3.7 meters long for each strand.

[@claudida6052]

@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Thank you☺️

[@yesi07]

How do you prevent the square knots from coming loose?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

If the square knots are being formed correctly and you tighten each knot than they should not be coming loose.

[@vella8650]

I’m confused. So do you cut 32 pieces of macrame cord at 3 yards each? If it is at 3 meters each, then it does not make sense that they are so long.

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I try and give both measurements. Yes, you cut 32 pieces at 3 metres each or that would be 3 yds 10”. Remember that you will be folding each cord in half. Now your cords will be 1.5 metres long.

[@whimsicalwombat]

This is beautifully made! Can I ask you, Patti -- approximately how many hours would you say this bag took you to make? Just wondering what is reasonable to expect for a timeline! Thank you :)

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

It is so hard to time my projects as I design as I go, I organize how I’m going to present the steps of the video, I am setting up camera and editing all at the same time. So it would have to be a guesstimate on time spent to complete this bag from start to finish. So maybe between 2 to 3 hours.

Can I use 4mm cotton twisted macrame cord?

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

Right now it is more difficult to get supplies so I say use what you have. It will turn out a bit bigger but that is fine. A thicker cord will definitely take up more cord length. I cut my strands 3 meters long using the 3mm cord. To be really safe for the 4mm cord I would cut each strand 4 meters long. If you don’t have enough macrame cord than try 3.7 meters long for each strand.

Hello! I want to start my own macrame bag business. Can you give me any advice about copyright and what is free macrame pattern means. Thank you!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

I don’t know the laws on copyright for handmade items. It’s a fine line. As far as I’m concerned if the artist is giving away their pattern for free or showing how to do it for free then one should be able to make it and sell it. Thats just my opinion. Here’s a bit of info that I found online. Every creative work is automatically copyright from the time that it is expressed in tangible form. Yes, this applies to handmade, fiber arts. Yes, both copying a paper rendition of the design and copying the fiber work are both copyright infringment. Having the same "idea" is OK. Copying what they have done (without permission) is not.

I cut 31 pieces and then run out of macrame cord! Is there a way of adjusting the pattern so I don't need 32 pieces? :(

Oh dear. Just keep to groupings of 4. So instead of 32 try 28 pieces. You will have to adjust the pattern a bit when you come to forming the handles.

[@darialynch9736]

@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Hi Patti! I also accidentally used 28 pieces instead of 32 - how would you suggest adjusting the handles? I am having a hard time figuring it out! Would hate to lost all the work I did to get to this point. Thanks in advance for any tips you have!

[@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts]

It took me quite a bit of time to work this out for you. If you only have 28 strands for the front and the back then here is a solution so you can finish your bag. So you will have 14 strands for each handle on the front and back of the bag. The first square knot on the left will be made with 3 cords instead of 4. So you just wrap around 1 cord instead of 2. Next two square knots as regular. The fourth square knot just 3 cords again. Alternate your square knots as shown in the video. The only difference is your side knots with one less cord. At 16:05 time stamp I wrap around 4 cords. You will only wrap around 3 cords. You will have 1 less cord for the remainder of the rows.
