Mini Tutorial - Bag Handles - Crocodile Stitch Bag

[@blueyed25]

Just wanted to thank you so much for your vids! Because of them I have been able to make many crocheted hats for christmas and working on making a purse now, thank you sooo much!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

@NuhuztheOwl I sewn 2 peieces together on 3 sides and then sew it into the bag

[@CrochetwithClare]

@lytanner1 It is about 10 inches wide and I used a 3.5mm or a 4mm hook and 8ply/dk/sportweight yarn

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes I have used this purse since the wedding and it is holding up well, I would recommend to line it like i did though, because i think that helped with the stretching

[@babyRoses7]

I love your scale stitch bag! Its gorgeous! I put a silk lining in one before and i sewed it in by hand and i used very small stitches, it took time but it looks fabulous i think loool!' I just cut it the same size as the bag and then i just sewed the sides up put it in and hand stitched it around the top! Wallllla! Lool! Love your bag!

[@youribjorn]

Made this lovely little bag for my daughter! Thank you for you're great tutorials! Greetings from Holland!

[@jcrefasi1]

This is so cute!! I hope you post a picture of your complete outfit. I'd love to see the dress you chose.

[@CrochetwithClare]

@gubkag I am sorry but i do not understand what - etsi stile is ?

[@CrochetwithClare]

The yarn is made by the company Carnival, it is a Australian yarn and I am not sure on the colour. it is a deep red colour thank you for watching

[@topaz1x]

Hi, another video that I love! I have an event to go to and this bag will be perfect! Thank you again. PS, I also love your nail polish colors, lol!

[@matawa08]

Wow i love your work and i appriciate your tutorials.

[@pckracee5662]

Love it! I think the Crocodile stitch would be great to use to make a wreath too.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there what do you mean by strands ?? Do you mean yarn ? I used Australian yarn , you can use your yarn you have in your country

[@CrochetwithClare]

@sarahshamsi5 I cant remember BUT i think it is in lots of 6 chains

[@ZPebble21]

Lol i'm still new but i just wanted to watch you crochet. At first i thought you were fast-forwarding, then it was fast because that's how good you were XD It's so lovely, i hope i can be as good as you one day.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there, I sewn the sides together and I show you how to do the first row of the handles in this video :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

@IvoryKohl thank you, Yes it does take abit longer than normal crochet but totally worth it :)

[@SocksertheFoxer]

That's really solid. No mistakes. A clean bag. Just I don't have enough yarn for a copy. That's just how I learned to crochet. I can only make a couple things. My belly hurts. But it even is maroon. A good color. Then there's the handle. It had me happy because I have no button for a clasp. For a pouch to happen. It would need a draw string. This is all ruffles and goodness. It's just pleasant. My mommy would be proud of you. This is her tablet. Crocheting is so much fun. The finished product. I just feel so proud of what you've done. There. Now I know you must feel good. About it. Very well executed.

[@shllyvkr]

i love it i used this handle for a black n pink hello kitty bag.....

[@CrochetwithClare]

@Lizbeth8729 No Sorry, I am yet to takle the zipper onto crochet

[@CrochetwithClare]

@jcrefasi1 sorry but no photo's were taken :(

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, I have it on my list to do :) I will get to it over the next few months :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes I think so. Mikey from mikeyssmail has a video on a purse .. pretty sure its called Mermaid tears

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, Yes I used fabric and I have never used nylon for crochet

[@CrochetwithClare]

@caribeth1180 Yes I was able to use one ball of yarn....100gms and a 8mm hook

[@sharonpeek4578]

This is a lovely purse, and I'm not taking anything away from this lady's talents, but if you'd like to see a different tutorial, Mikey has several videos on how to make a crocodile stitch bag, as well.

Hi Beth, is there any chance you can do the whole tutorial how to make the bag as I love it so much. I can follow you very well. Just finish making the one piece sweater what you made from Cat. Thank you for reading this. Miriam

[@pitabella5]

Like several of the posts here, I, too, would appreciate a full tutorial on how you created this adorable mini purse. Mikey's is for a full purse and your bag is great. Please can you make a full tutorial on how to do it? Thanks.

[@CrochetwithClare]

I did a chain the width of the bag and then crochet back and forth

[@CrochetwithClare]

This is the cutest red clutch. I love the alligator stitch. Where can I get a printed copy of the pattern? Thank you for sharing your information. The little are great. When I make a patter, there is also some guesswork involved, but it's all good.

[@Hyandme]

Another wonderful idea :) Thank you :)

[@4UStevePerry]

Hi Claire, Did you line the bag with fabric? Also do you use Nylon yarn at all? I heard that this is the best for making bags and pocketbooks. I made a bag the other day from Carons pound of yarn and it came out so fuzzy.

[@ROCA6904]

hello, thank you for the tutorial, i just fell in love of the color of the yarn and I would like to know if you can tell me the exact color and brand of this yarn; thank you in advance and have a great day!

[@magalyquinterodevalenzuela7129]

Me encantaria poder hacer la cartera roja del punto cocodrilo, pero no veo como se comienza solamente observo como terminar , por favor podria indicarme donde lo encuentro. GRACIAS TRABAJA USTED BELLISIMO. FELICITACIONES.

[@caribeth1180]

This is so cute! Were you able to make this with one ball of yarn? Thanks! Love your videos!

[@gubkag]

Hey can you show me how to make slippers like etsi stile.

[@eellis85]

You said you only needed this bag to last one day for the wedding you were going to. Did it last? Have you used it since then? If you only used it for a short time, did you notice any wear and tear that might make it not last much longer? Sorry for the 20 questions, I'm looking to make a purse and wanted it to last a while :)

[@lytanner1]

Very cute! I'm going to make this for my mother in law's bday this weekend. How many inches wide did you make your purse.

[@lytanner1]

Also, what size crochet hook did you use to make the bag?

[@itabodayjim]

[@Magito005]

how did u do the back side of this bag?

[@sharonpeek4578]

Mikey has several tutorial videos on a crocodile stitch bag. He tells you how to count your stitches, and once you see him do it, you really don't need a pattern.

[@TheArpan52]

AMAZING

[@sharmin1215]

You could use velcro instead of a zipper...

[@susanario5952]

Can you add more designs for skirts and blouses .

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Susana Rio Hello, I am not sure how to make skirts or blouses sorry :(
