[@asaldanapr]

That is an awesome bag like everything you make. Then you say 3 hrs… it will take much longer for me as I’m a beginner and the joining of the panels will be a bit more complicated for me. And also I still have a bit of a problem with tension. Even if made with the same colors the stitches going in different ways will make it interesting. I love the way you teach!

Haha, sorry about that. I'm trying to get as much information out to the view as I can within as short amount of time as I can because people say I take to long to get to the tutorial. However, I feel the information I have to share is important. I does take practice and quite a few takes before I get it right, which is some of that behind the scenes stuff that people don't see. 😄🧶❤️

[@broella6493]

Love this bag, but I had difficulty following this tutorial. I finally gave up and found another crocheter’s channel that made construction of the bag much easier to follow.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Completely understand. Thank you for the feedback. Glad you found a solution and a way to make this bag that worked best for you.

[@lisakaye3935]

Definitely making this bag!

[@rachaelporter6880]

How bad does the bag stretch when anything is in it? Wouldn’t you need to line the bag?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Great question! That all depends on how heavy the contents are. I used a Hdc stitch because it holds up pretty well with minimal gaps. The bag is pretty durable. If you are concerned feel free to line you bag OR try using a smaller crochet hook for tighter stitches OR only use yarn that is stronger like cotton or ribbon. 😊❤️🧶

[@dsburd8944]

Awesome. Love the size

[@LoriParsons]

[@gailgodfrey768]

Hi, This is sharp. Thank You.

[@ElainefromPenguinPlaceCrafts]

Hmm... I just got some wool as a yarn gift. I wonder how it would work if I go bigger with the panels and felt it...

[@kristypaynter4409]

I bet it would look beautiful 😍

[@gaijinsanshimai]

What is the measurement across? Length is 56cm/22in lengthwise but wasn’t sure how wide to make it. Love this bag. It’s beautiful

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

That's a great question. I listed that each panel is 6.5 inches wide or 16.5cm. 2 Panels wide + the join means the bag is roughly 14 inches wide. This is definitely a measurement that can easily change depending on materials used, crochet tension, and what you choose to do for a join. 😊❤️🧶

[@Ladythyme]

It took you 3hours…it will take me 6 😂😂😂 Love the colors of your bag.

[@cassowary-love]

[@alicechadegani6960]

[@cynthiacollett6233]

It would be much simpler, when attaching thru back loop only, to do it from the back.

[@felicaj8638]

Hi Tiffany, I LOVE this video and all of your other videos!💜💜💜 KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK! I plan on creating this bag. Where to go to purchase the leather handles like the ones in this video?

Hi Felicia! I'm so glad you like the leather handles I used on my tote bag! I actually added a link to the exact handles I got in the description section under materials. 😊🧶❤️

[@Christena1601]

Love it

[@dianawatson4469]

Need to show us how to touch the handles

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Oh super easy Diana! Just use yarn and a yarn needle to see the handles to the top peaks of the bag. The leather straps have pre-drilled holes you insert the yarn needle into. 😊❤️🧶

[@Value1lady]

Cute but i get very confused with the row ends to where the single crochets go. Mine comes out wavy bc i put too many. Im still new grrrrr! I need help with row ends!

[@amyrudolph3932]

❤

[@jamielynch6743]

Could it be that because one yarn is acrylic and one is cotton you had to make a different number of rows? How is the bag when it comes to stretch, since it's two different yarns?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Great Questions!! I did find that the cotton blend yarn did have a bit of stretch to it. The opposite strap is 100% acrylic which helps stabilize it. I did notice that the cotton blend yarn was thinner than the 100% acrylic yarn. It was because of the different thicknesses of yarn that the stitches were offset. I noticed a HUGE sizing difference between the 2 panels even though it claims to be the same size on the yarn label AND I made the same number of stitches and rows for both. It's more about just making sure the panels are all the same size NOT that you made the same number of stitches and rows.

[@deannlamaine]

Ugh... I can't for the life of me figure out how to join these panels together! I've been trying for 2! days and am ready to throw it out. Something is wrong with me?! 😢

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Nothing is wrong with you! I found that my panels did not join together with a one-to-one stitch ratio. What I recommend is getting a few stitch markers, pinning your bag down so that all the top peaks are the same length and the bottoms all come together. Then, joining from the inside - out, pinch and join and pinch and join making sure to stop every so often to see how everything is laying out for you. As long as you can keep it so you are joining evenly to the end and all the ends are roughly the same length you are good! Reach out to me in Wednesdays Crafter’s Gathering and let me know how it’s going and if I can help even more in person. I got you! 🤗❤️🧶

[@deannlamaine]

Nothing is wrong with you. I had the same problem. I did everything that was said on the tutorial and it does not come out looking the way hers does. I said I'm just going to have to revisit when my patients come back.

[@savysuzzie1]

It's not you. She is not very thorough.

[@rebeccamccauley7496]

Great idea but it was not explained enough for me I don’t understand I just wish you could have done that overhead tutorial on this that all but it’s a beautiful bag

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Thank you so much for the feedback. I appreciate the suggestions. I guess the basic thing for this bag is to not focus on making the strips the same number of stitches and rows. Focus on making all 4 strips the same exact size. The thing I ran into with the tutorial is that the yarns I used in the bag project claimed to both be a size 4 weight yarn. However, I did not check their WPI and the two yarn were definitely NOT the same size so when I instructed people to just make 4 strips with the same number of stitches and rows, and 2 of the strips were VASTLY bigger than the other, I knew I had to adjust my instructions otherwise the strips would not join together as straight forward as they should with the top peaks being identical. I hope this makes sense and helps you. 😊❤️🧶

[@serapugurlugil9214]

❤❤❤ YOU Have MENTIONED THE LENGTH 22 Inch. HOW MUCH IS THE WIDTH ( I THINK MY 17 STITCHES SEEMS SHORTER THAN YOURS.) THANKS 🙏🏽

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

[@dianevallone8407]

How do you attach the handle?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Great question Diane! It’s super easy. The leather handles have pre-drilled holes. Just take some yarn and a yarn needle and sew onto the top points of the bag. The crochet handle do the same with a yarn needle and thread. Attach to that same spot. 😊❤️🧶

[@dianevallone8407]

@@CrochetWithTiffany Thank you so much 😀

[@artemis2006]

do i have to make each panel 22 inches, or could i do less like 15 inches or something?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Feel free to adjust the panels however you want. Just make sure the 4 panels look identical in size. That may mean the panels have a different amount of rows or stitches and that is ok! The only thing that is important is that the panels all match in length and width. 😊❤️🧶

[@crissywill7053]

How do I make this smaller? Deep pocket but smaller size

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Great question! The length of the sections will determine how tall the bag will be. The width of the sections will determine how wide the bag will be. I hope this helps! 🤗💖🧶

[@user-xt7rx7pt6k]

hi love the tote. I have a question where did you purchase the handle and how did you attach it? TIA

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hello! I actually purchased the handle off of Amazon.com. The link for the very same handle I used in the video tutorial can be found in the description section below. 😁. I placed the ends on the inside of the pointed peaks and you just take yarn, a thread needle, and sew the strap to the bag. The strap has little holes on the ends for you to place the needle through. 😊❤️🧶

[@user-xt7rx7pt6k]

Sorry but I don't see the description section.@@CrochetWithTiffany

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

I actually saw this tutorial on another YT channel, I think her name is Brunaticality.

[@micheleprice4292]

I think brunaticality made this shape of bag with squares, didn't she? Tiffany also made a bag sort of like this with squares awhile ago.

[@Katz1950]

You didn’t show how you attached the handles…..

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Oh, It's very simple. You just take yarn and a yarn needle and join to the top points of the bag. The leather straps have pre-drilled holes that you sew into. The crochet handle you just align and join. And any other handle involving metal semi-circles or metal attachments you just sew over to attach. But all in that same location, top points of bag. 😊❤️🧶

Great catch! I too figured out pretty quickly that the tops of the bag would have to be tweaked a little for all of them to be approximately the same size. ESPESSIALLY if you are working with actual scraps that range in thickness. 👍🏼😊❤️🧶

[@destinycooper8872]

Did I miss it or does she not mention how wide the panels should be? 22 inches long but ?? Wide? Thanks :)

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Oh! That part must have gone quickly. Each panel is 6 inches wide in my example but you can always make them wider. Doing so will make you bag wider as well. 😊❤️🧶

[@danieless-rk7tf]

hi!!!! i am working on my bag right now. i understand that it.s has to be 56 cm long, but how many cm width? would help me a lot to know.

[@destinyyates9747]

I was wondering this as well! Here is her answer to another user who asked the same: Happy crocheting!! That's a great question. I listed that each panel is 6.5 inches wide or 16.5cm. 2 Panels wide + the join means the bag is roughly 14 inches wide.

Currently I'm in the MOST trust the process spot I've ever been in. The video isn't very clear about how to join the 3 and 4th panel and I'm very concerned I did it completely wrong lol. Wish I could post a pic. Also not sure how I'm gonna line this beauty assuming the bag looks like a bag lol

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Totally understand the "Trusting The Process" feeling. Something I discovered with this project was that the stitches will not always align. It is so important to know this! Even though you made all 4 panels with what claims to be the same size yarn does not mean they will be identical. SO, I discovered if you use stitch markers and start at the top of the bag where the handles will be to control all 4 points being the same length on top. Then use the stitch markers to pin the panels on the bottom, and literally just pin the two panels with stitch markers up the side so you can whip stitch these two panels together and not worry where your yarn needle goes.

Sorry about that. I realized that different materials, even though they claim to be the same size, can work up differently and you may have to focus more on keeping the measurement consistent not so much the stitch ratio. As long as the strips are all the same length you should be good! Focus on the measurements and not the number of rows being the same. 😉🧶❤️
