Wonderful tutorial and great project. You make the instructions so easy to follow, and don’t assume any steps. Even someone like myself who crocheted for awhile I forget some steps along the way and need more clarification. This had all the tiny details include and done so smoothly. Love it!

I’m so glad you found this tutorial helpful and enjoyed it! Thank you so much! I hope your bag turned out beautiful! 🤗🧶💞

I’ve been struggling to find a good crochet project to do (as a beginner) and this was perfect! What I love about this pattern is I can sit down and watch a show without having to worry about messing up, my hands just kinda know what to do 😂. Strongly recommend this for a beginner. 🩷🩷

[@christinaandi915]

@@crochetdaybyday what happens if you use regular acrylic yarn for this pattern?

[@crochetdaybyday]

@@christinaandi915 You can definitely use regular acrylic yarn. I find that cotton yarn is just a bit more sturdy and bounces back to it's original shape where the acrylic stretches a lot more. Of course after washing the bag it'll go back to its shape, but that's really the only difference. I prefer cotton, but acrylic works too.

I love these bags for everything! They stretch so much! My cousin uses them for swimming lessons for her daughter, and the stretch for the towels and everything else works so great for the finished size. Finished bags are available on my Etsy and on sale until the 30th! If you’re international I can waive the shipping fee, just send me a message if you purchase one! 🤗🧶💞

[@Michelle-il2cf]

I haven't made this yet, but I watched through and then watched again to jot down the pattern before I start (can you tell I'm a type-A planner?? 😅) but I'm so excited I found this pattern and I can't wait to start after the baby is down for bed tonight! I wanted to say you're so good at explaining everything, sometimes a tutorial just says "do X, Y, Z..." And doesn't actually explain what that means and I have to go to another tutorial on it to find out, so I really appreciate how good you are at teaching! I am eager to check out other videos from you. Thank you!!

[@leslieberkower8163]

Thank you for your clear instructions. I’m a knitter who crocheted a long time ago. I’m at the beginning of the project and my edges are not straight. Also there are fewer stitches than I started out with (25+1). Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? 🙏

[@crochetdaybyday]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this tutorial! Apologies for the delayed response! It can be pretty easy to add and remove stitches with crochet, so it sounds like maybe a stitch was skipped? I don’t like counting, but if something feels off I go back and try to find the row I may have dropped or added a stitch. Hopefully this was only in the first five rows so you won’t have to go back too far. Let me know if that was helpful or not! I know troubleshooting can be challenging sometimes 💞🤗🧶

[@AmyPerez-fd5gf]

Thank you. I love this pattern but I need help on one thing. One of the straps twisted. Can that be fixed?

[@crochetdaybyday]

It sounds like to fix that you may need to frog it and make sure you’re going into the right stitches? I do prefer the back bump of the chain with the straps, but it shouldn’t really twist if you don’t do it that way. Sounds like something happened in the first row of it twisted. I know it’s a bummer to undo/frog a project, but it might be the best option 🤷🏼‍♀️💞🤗🧶

21:16 on this row i did 5 rows but it’s much tighter then the other end. I wish I knew what I did wrong.

[@adeleyoung9828]

HI, I'm all good on the pattern - BUT, my handles are twisted - badly, if I force them straight on one side and sc into it straightened up it looks terrible = what am I doing wrong ? thanks so much.

[@crochetdaybyday]

Oh no!! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing that! Sorry for the delayed response. I'm not 100% sure what could be happening, but I'd recommend undoing the handle to where it starts to twist and make sure you are placing your sc into the right stitch? As in, you may need to go slowly with the first round, make sure the sc are in the spaces of the mesh, then the top of the handle and into the chain for the actual handle. I like to go into the back bumps, which will help with the twisting. I hope that's helpful! Please let me know! 🤗 ❤️ 🧶

[@ys0613]

21:42 my issue is that the width don’t match. One end is tighter than the other end

[@jamielynch6743]

Why did you say that it doesn't matter if the first set of chains made for the handle is twisted, especially when you're going through a chain? I thought you would have gone over the entire chain rather than through a loop. So I guess it ides matter that it's not twisted.

[@crochetdaybyday]

Hi there! Good question! I guess the answer is in your question now that I'm reading it over again. I know sometimes when chaining it can twist, and some people can get caught up in that instead of just trusting the process. And as you noticed, since you got that far in the tutorial, it doesn't really matter. I guess I should have addressed it more, but I wasn't thinking about it at the time. Thanks for the call out! I hope you made a bag and it's turn out great for you! 🧶💞🤗

[@stephanieryall8685]

I am making this bag with Lily Sugar and Cream. I have made my 40 rows but the length of the 40 rows is only 20". Yours looks a lot longer! Should I do more rows? I am in the UK and couldn't get the yarn you used.

[@crochetdaybyday]

Hi Stephanie!! This pattern is a trust the process kind of pattern. Make sure it’s 40 rows of the mesh, not including the rows or single crochet only. The bag is going to stretch and take shape once you make the other end of the bag and the handles. Lily Sugar and Cream is a thicker 4 weight yarn and can feel a little stiff, but it will give you the length and size when you’re finished! Let me know how it goes! 💞🤗🧶

[@denisehadfield383]

How many rows of the mesh did you do ?

[@crochetdaybyday]

Hello there! Apologies for the delay! I think I did 41 rows? It’s been a while since I made one and cannot remember what the tutorial said. But! You can make as many rows as you’d like, but the more rows you make the more it stretches and maybe not on the best way! Let me know if you have any more questions! 💞🤗🧶

@@crochetdaybyday awee ❤thats lovely!!

[@shelleyknowles7348]

Im curious. Why does it need to be a cotton yarn, please?

[@crochetdaybyday]

Good question! Cotton yarn tends to be a bit more sturdy, but you could use an acrylic yarn if you’d like, or any other yarn. Just keep in mind the stretch of the yarn. Cotton will stretch, but not as much as other yarns so it can keep the shape of the bag and go back to its original shape, or close to. Other yarns can stretch and not stretch back and can lose the integrity of the bag. I find cotton yarn to be better for this type of project. I hope this is helpful! 🤗💞🧶

[@crochetdaybyday]

Hi there! The finished size is 18.5” width, 13.5” length, minus the handle. With the handle, 21.5” length. This bad stretches far beyond the finished product. I’d say double, depending on what you choose to put in the bag 🤗🧶💞

[@ys0613]

22:38 each foundation do not match 😢😮

[@crochetdaybyday]

Oh no!!! Apologies for the delayed response! Im so sorry to hear this didn’t work the way as expected! It definitely sounds like one of two things, tension and possibly the number of stitches. Did you double check the stitch count? If you have, maybe go up half a hook size, so 5.5 or maybe a 6 just for the last rows after the mesh is completed. It’s easy for me to get stuck on a tight tension when doing the mesh and remembering to loosen it up to complete the last five single crochet rows. Did you frog the rows before making the handle? Give the bigger book a try and see if that works and make sure you have the right number of stitches. I do this all the time and end up having to go back and undo my work. Definitely part of the process so don’t stress! It’s going to turn out perfect with a little tweaking. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Good luck! You got this! 🤗💞🧶
