10/10 tutorial best one i've found, the pattern is easy to make bigger or smaller and it's pretty forgiving when you make mistakes. Did this as my first crochet project and turned it out really nice!

[@simbpaii2762]

I absolutely can assert that in order to find perfect pattern i've watched about 50 videos in youtube and tiktok (since i'm quite demanding and picky person). So i can surely say that your pattern is the best, it's simple and accurate at the same time. I almost done one in small size and planning to do bigger one like yours. Thanks a lot 💞💖💫

[@hayleyquan2478]

can you please make another video on how you did the sides/base/handle because you skipped the steps or didn't show it, and i am unable to follow along and just have the outer pieces.

[@saraeniko7698]

sameeee i watched thst part like 10 times and i still cant get it

[@SophieHartstein]

so basically you want to chain 12 +2 (14) and start crocheting the same way you did the outer pieces so that you only have three squares in a row. you are going to want to make this piece super long (she did 65 squares, i would recommend doing the same) so it can wrap around the whole project and also be used as a handle. once you finish this piece, you are going to sew it to the outside pieces (it's easier to do it one at a time). the best way to do it is to start at the top corner, go all the way down the side and under the bottom, and up the other side. once you have it attached like that (to both pieces), the piece leftover that's still flopping around is going to be used as the handle, so you just want to sew the end of that to the beginning of the same piece. basically so its in one big circle but also sewn to the bag. once you do that, flip it inside out, weave in your ends, and you have a bag! sorry that was super long and also a week after you asked, but i hope it helped someone!

[@pimrs13]

10 months late but I’m quite bored so I’ll clear up some frequently asked questions in the comments The size of the crochet hook I used was 3mm (you can use bigger but I won’t recommend because according to some people the bag will be HUGE) I used 150 grams of yarn for both colors 60% cotton and 40% acrylic yard (I don’t recommend soft yarn) the main part it’s 56 chains x 26 rows (not counting the handle part) and the side parts should be 12 chains x 65 rows. the length of the main parts are around 39 cm (including handle) and the width is around 36 cm The width of the long part is 6 cm and the length is around 155 cm Hope this helped!! (If anyone is still even watching the video)

Wait can you help me? I’m confused too. Is the base/handle all one thing or do I have to make multiple(like one for one side of the bag and another and THEN make a separate handle with the same dimensions

yep! all one big thing, pretty much just add all the squares together in her instructions for a total of 3 by 65-70 squares (130-140 rows) depending how long u want your handle to be lmk if you need anything else explained, I'm always happy to help :)

[@karlaklossy7124]

Thank you for the tutorial! I just finished making mine. 💖💖

[@thequeeneevee]

thank you! this is so helpful! also quick tip: while you crochet the checkers, if you crochet the opposite color into the color that you are currently making double crochets of, you won't have to cut the yarn constantly because it's hidden inside the stitches and you can just do that without a bunch of little yarn scraps that you have to tuck in at the end. Sorry, confusing explanation, but i hope this helps!!

[@se1inq]

i was trying to figure out how to do that but i couldn't do it😭😭 i didn't keep cutting it though i just pulled it along but the back looks pretty wonky

[@thequeeneevee]

if you’re making a bag, then it shouldn’t really matter that much-just make the wonky part the inside of the bag so no one can see it. hope this helps!!

I hope you can see my comment, but I've got a question, for the side/base/handle part, do you just do one long strap of (36+14+15), and then sew it on to the main piece? Also, do you crochet the side with single crochet afterwards? Would appreciate a reply, thank you !!

[@idontknow-nh3vq]

this is a great pattern! but at 8:39 when i do the side curvy parts for the other end of the bag, when turning to reduce one square the white yarn that is pulled from skipping the stiches can be seen on the front :-( basically the two ends flipped

i am also having the same problem. i tried crocheting using my left hand but i gave up because idk how to do it right. i just let the two ends flipped :((

Hi there! I love your tutorial!! This bag is so cute and the tutorial is soooo helpful. I was wondering what the measurement was for just one of the sides? I followed everything but I’m new to crochet and I think I messed something up bc I somehow have 17 squares across instead of 14 and I feel like it’s going to be too big so I can’t tell if I should start over or not! But I was thinking if the measurement is the same as yours, then it might be fine and I just accidentally added too many squares somehow.

[@baotran-qf1my]

how many grams of yarn did you use in total? and when i change from black to white, there is always a black thread in the white square and a white thread in the black square, its like crossing each other. love your video btw, it's really easy to follow for beginners like me

[@el_barjak8550]

Yeah I found the same thing, I just tried to keep the lines of thread when I was changing color on one side of the project. So that the inside would be the side with the lines if that makes any sense

[@el_barjak8550]

And the balls of yarn he used look about 100g each, multiply that by 6 I’d say roughly 600g of yarn in total. So 300g of each color, but I’d recommend getting an extra ball of yarn to be safe

[@cyberblueangel]

@@el_barjak8550 I think each skein of the video were like 50g (or less) So 100gr/150gr for color

[@luisalrnc]

this worked for me the second time around, but you should pull the other colour string when you're about to switch, so that it tightens the previous four stitches in the other colour and makes the color that crosses it invisible!

[@cyberblueangel]

Actualization: 150g of each color weren't enough! Maybe it was my different yarn tensions and hooks (Since I changed them a lot through the process) but anyways, I would highly recommend 200g of each color!

[@sxft_txkyx3585]

A little note that could be useful! 🧶✨️ If you don't want the checkered pattern to line up in the bottom of the bag, you can make two rows of the same color on the corners, so it matches the 2 sides on the last square in each corner, so instead of being, for example, white black white, black white black, it would be, white black white, white black white, it's subtle and it keeps the checkered pattern! 🏁✨️ Hope this helps! 🤗 (Sorry if I didn't make myself undestood 😅, I'm bad at explaining and to top it all, english is not my first language ☠️)
