TUNISIAN CROCHET SUMMER BAG: Free Beginner’s Tape Yarn Pattern & Tutorial

[@nance1111]

I could listen and watch you crochet all day long. Today's "ah ha" moment came when you explained the 2 row repeat of the Tunisian crochet full stitch; off setting the beginning (and ending) stitch so that you don't make an increase. I don't know why it took me so long to understand, but you're explanation and me watching you do it was what did it. Thank you for sharing this delightful project. I'm starting one asap.

[@MsShar409]

I can already tell you're going to be one of favorite teachers. Ty for doing this!

[@valeriehowden471]

Love the new magic circle technique and using the tail as a marker for each round. Thanks for sharing this bucket bag. Next on my never ending to do list. Edit: glad to see I'm in great company when I talk to myself as I crochet.

[@m.marzok7070]

Can I just say that I love you and all your videos. You made me love tunisian crochet.

[@zenrichnow]

I love watching KZbin for knitting and crocheting tutorials - You are by far the very best instructor for this subject ever! I appreciate your running commentary… your instructions are very complete! Thank you for such wonderful productions!

[@destresswithyoga]

My yarn was just delivered for this!!! I’m so excited!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@vanetzamenjivar6851]

It's beautiful thank you for your video and god bless you and your family

[@DianeS-v7m]

I ordered the kit on LB, received it today and am halfway through! It's so much fun and cute. Your video is excellent!!! I am a huge fan. You taught me how to Tunisian crochet - and I'm hooked! (No pun intended?) I have knit for over 50 years and you inspired me to crochet. Thank you!

[@lilnelson4597]

Thank you. Your tips are clever and very helpful.

[@marileabramer2115]

Just finished my Harper Bucket Bag! Thank you for this awesome tutorial. This was also my very first project involving Tunisian crochet. You made it so easy.

[@LocdnessMomster]

Finally a tutorial that breaks down yarns and the alternatives. I've been watching other tutorials just waiting for them to mention weights

[@sabrinavanderstaay6697]

I love this bag and I just love you you are so easy to understand and I appreciate the lovely patterns you share.

[@victorialove9104]

You are a very good teacher. Love the bag. Never tried Tunisian crochet before but this adorable bag looks like a great way to start. Thanks!

[@julieschweitz5658]

Just love you! So easy to follow, clear and concise. Thank you

[@twisty0079]

I like how detailed you are including sub yarns. Thumbs up from me.

[@ashleymartinez6830]

I love, love, love it! I am a very beginner crocheted,

[@CDForney]

Absolutely adorable 🥰

[@donnaney5920]

Thank you, this video clarified some of the problems I've been having. I'm going to redo a bag I just finished using this method of the bottom and of joining the sides at the end. I always try to find one of your videos for learning Tunisian crochet as your voice is clear, loud enough, and pleasant to listen to. Your instructions are easy to follow.

[@mar1na1993]

I’ve been crocheting for years, but over the past two years I’ve fallen out of it in favor of embroidery/needle stuff. Your videos have sparked an interest in me to return to my “original” craft of crocheting. Thank you!

[@tubsua]

Hahaha omg the slip stitch part got me laughing out loud 😂 - love it. Thank you for another beautiful pattern.

[@andreaschiavino5444]

Yep have to have that conversation in my head, every single time!

[@amandahall1465]

So looking forward to starting this project. Instructions are so easy to follow; plan to make one for each of my nephews (3) so they can use them for what they want to keep in the car with them during travel.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

That is an awesome idea!

[@justdi3347]

Hi Toni, I am giving this a try right now as I am an extreme beginner with Tunisian crochet. I made a year or so ago your Tunisian earwarmers and that was fun and addictive.. I've just completed my second row of the Tunisian on this bag and the only issue (which is a learning curve) is keeping the stitches pushed up enough to the front of the hook so it's not hard to do the stitches. I am also so used to holding the hook when crocheting so holding the hook with yarn over is a challenge butttt, this is very easy to do it's just a learning curve for me. I am using Bernat Home Maker yarn as it was all I had. Thank you for your well thought out and explained instructions on the beginner girl Tunisian crochet. Thank you

[@cm4107]

This is beautiful. That full Tunisian stitch would make an amazing blanket. Now to find good Tunisian hooks with cords

[@cherylbell8875]

I'm so excited to give this a try! Your are such a graceful crocheter. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@MicksMom365]

WOW. I love this bag and wanted to attempt it but wasn't ready to attempt Tunisian crochet. After watching this, I feel like I can (and should!) tackle it. Thank you so much for sharing with us! You're a wonderful teacher! I only came here because I wanted to make this bag. I'm so excited now to begin this!! I love challenging myself and this pattern is going to be the next launch.

[@smokiencooper4264]

This is an awesome bag! Love how it mixes regular crochet with Tunisian crochet! Great job and thanks for the video!

[@mayascagedbird]

Thank you for such a well explained tutorial. I really appreciate your attention to detail when explaining and demonstrating instructions. I love Tunisian crochet, and this is a perfect application of this stitch. Thank you so much!

[@destresswithyoga]

This is beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@sghandmade1978]

Yessssssss. Im going on short vacation with family perfect pattern i will be completely

[@betsstanford]

Oh my gosh! That tail for a stitch marker is ingenious! :) Thanks!

[@veniestagourdine3881]

Love that tail as a stitch marker.

[@crochetcarri]

I like your magic circle! Maybe I can do one now! What a cute bag! I love it! 💯

[@kiranjain8872]

What a beautiful pattern..and so well explained..very nice tutorial

[@313hobbyme]

Great video thanks for sharing! Can't wait to try this. I really need a summer bag.

[@kinda778]

Omg 🤩 u mix between the tunisian chrosht and the normal in a magical way .. the result is amazing 😍 love love love i ll make one this spring sure its perfect .. thanks slot 💜

[@jennyyi2785]

This tutorial was so clear and concise 👌🏻 I have so much confidence that I can dive into Tunisian crochet now and just ordered my first Tunisian crochet hook set. Thank you for your videos! 🥰

[@SuzanneWho]

Impeccable tutorial as usual! Love this bag. ❤️😎🐈‍⬛

[@amyflores5591]

Oh, I love this so much! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@blessednhm]

Can't wait to try this! The instructions were so clear! I also found the voice over funny when you corrected your self in the 3rd person lol😁

[@petrapots]

Love the way you used you tail end as a stitch marker genius! 🥰🥰

[@judyhoffman1359]

What a great job! I did notice this one has bumps, too! I will put this on my to do list. Thanks for your directions.

[@j.m.thomas1007]

Lol when I first start learning how to do the magic circle (ring) I can't, then I did it like that but I thought that it was wrong became it still had the knot in it and you had to do it a certain way. This way is much easier. I love the bag. It's a must try for me. Thanks for sharing.

[@reneegencur2469]

Just finished my bucket bag. Your tutorial gave me the confidence to go for the Tunisian crochet. Your instructions were very good but I could have used a bit more help on seaming the Tunisian crochet part of the bag. I used a variegated yarn and the seam really stands out. I’m not sure if my technique was lacking or if a solid color would have made the seam less obvious. I still think the bag came out pretty good and may take another crack at it. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@cuddlebuddy88mc]

I'm so excited I found your channel! Definitely want to try my hands at this. 😁👍

[@judithschram5597]

I love all of your projects and this is no exception!! 💕💕💕🌸💘thank you

[@juliebrigance7284]

Toni, I love everything about your channel. I started crocheting at the beginning of the pandemic. I had a little experience with granny squares in my youth but otherwise was new to all the different stitches and patterns. I'm still very much a novice, but I love all the reviews you do. I'm venturing outside of Joanns and Michael's for my yarn now and I even bought a Tunisian hook and am going to do a pillow with the honeycomb stitch! Wish we lived closer. I know we'd be friends. ;-)

[@terrestreasures9138]

Love this bag, so cute for small crafts.

[@deborahjohnson7861]

Beautiful bags and thanks for the Tips.

[@remedy9648]

Oh my goodness this is fantastic! Excellent tutorial as usual and I’m totally in love with this bag, I’m treating myself💜🤘🏿💜

[@jeannebeverly1244]

Wow! I totally LOVE this! Thanks Toni for sharing your talents. 💜💜💜

[@vanessagee3942]

Love it! I'm going to have to try this with plarn. I like making bags out of bags 😁 but its hard to make them cute. Awesome tutorial! Thank you!

[@apple3242]

Never tried tunesian crochet before but now I have no choice... 😉

[@atsukorichards1675]

Me too until one month ago. I made a patchwork small afghan with the basic Tunisian stitch for the first time. It was addictive, I am afraid.

[@petrapots]

Thankyou so much for this beatiful pattern I love my bag and cant wait to show it off at the beach 😂🤣love you love your channel THANKYOU!!🥰

[@zoedvega3923]

I got the Tunisian hook.. waiting on the yarn... Yay!

[@rnttreed]

This bag looks amazing. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@sekaihatsu]

Beautiful bag!

[@gabcreaciones]

Hola Soy Gaby de Argentina. Hermoso tu trabajo y las explicaciones. A seguir sumando nuevos proyectos y suscríbtores Saludos.👍👋

[@synren2851]

That magic ring is ingenious! I wish I knew about this trick sooner it would have had life easier lol And I will have to try this pattern it will make a wonderful gift 💗

[@kellisawyer7879]

Beautiful

[@marie-agnesbertrand4182]

I really want to make. It is nos in my "to do" list 🤩 Thanks for your clear explanation 👌👏😀 !!!

[@SharonCodyCowgirlCreations]

Great tutorial...I am midway through my slightly larger version of the Harper Bucket Bag using two complementary yarn colors...enjoyed your self corrections in the video....Iol...I say the same thing in my head sometimes. Love the tape yarn but boy is it slippery....giving my hands a workout with the tunisian section...lol Good thing I have other WIP's to do so my hands get a break. Thanks for all you do!!

[@mollymarking8234]

How did I not find you until now!?!? I love your channel and website. I can't wait to start several of your projects. I'm just having trouble deciding which one to start first!

[@magdamanzano2142]

Very cute bag. I like to know if you have any bucket hat tutorial in this Rewind yarn. Thank you

[@rosiesaunders3334]

This is so beautiful! Thank u for sharing 🙂

[@caraxkins]

the new magic loop is just a slip knot but that adjusts the other way. i do that to knot and hold my yarn in my very old yarn winder. i’ll have to try that instead of a magic loop next time!

[@yarncakesllc2001]

Great tutorial! ❤💖

[@nhw8906]

Great video. Thank You 🙏🏻 ❤️👍

[@tarynelliott9046]

Oh man. As I just got 3 skeins of this in my order and wasn't sure what to do with it! This is so cool.

[@classykimscrochet1424]

Great...after watching you, I'm sure I can do this... Shared with my Facebook Group Page🧶

[@mladventures_es]

The pattern looks so wonderful :D Thanks for sharing with us!

[@laurentrepp5233]

I've always been scared of tunisian, but I think I might have to give it a try for this design :))

[@desireemclaughlin1455]

Beautiful!

[@nicolestewart8928]

Yaaasssssss!!! To everything that you do🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@hooktherapycrochet933]

I need to order this yarn so I can make this bag!

[@Luvnheartdesign65]

Pretty 🌼

[@mayolson2]

Very nice ....thanks !

[@denissensantana]

Love it!!!

[@Misslele1123]

This is to cute

[@happyhippocrafts]

That’s how I do my slip knot x

[@spiritsjoy]

I took advantage of that dollar Fetuccini yarn sale from Lion Brand in 2018. I still haven't used any of those bolts of T-shirt yarn. I wonder if that yarn would work with this cute pattern.

[@leonorbento5237]

When I see your videos I want to start a new project straight away 💕 Toni I saw a beautiful blanket but I don’t understand what kind of stitch was made on there. Could you please help me if I send you a picture? Thank you 😊

[@mrsmaryannrooney]

Love this pattern. I really enjoy watching your videos. You are an excellent teacher. What brand is your crochet hook? It is beautiful!

[@aratakiskiitto]

Made this bag today as a part of my first foray into Tunisian Crochet! I messed up the seam on the back, it has a nice upward diagonal slant smh. Fortunately, I made it with light blue yarn, so I'm gonna make a fluffy cloud appliqué to slap on the seam and cover up the mess

[@MoistMage69]

Can I use acrylic yarn or milky yarn? As I have some of these

[@LaviaLavere]

Any ideas for making this a backpack drawstring bag instead?

[@tubsua]

Hahaha and the bead part got me laughing 😂

[@aponteandcruz]

Was wondering if there's a way that I could down scale this bag for a 4in diameter and 6in height measurement

[@ana-alyciajuarez5958]

I’m thinking that you’re thinking of making this a dice bag. If you had small enough hooks for maybe a 1 or 2 weight yarn it could work?

[@TLYarnCrafts]

You can work the base to whatever diameter you want, then begin working the sides to what we height you want. You’ll have to play around with the placement of the drawstring holes though

[@petrapots]

Where did you get those beads from, love them!!!!!!

[@marlacooper8635]

I am in the middle of making the Harper Bucket Bag and am loving the pattern. BUT how do I make it bigger? Is there a formula I can use? Probably about twice the size would be my ideal size. Thanks.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Hi! To make your bag bigger, make the starting circle larger.

[@galememeeof6688]

Are there a couple of basic Tunisian crochet hooks I could get to just get started without spending a lot of money on a whole kit of them. I am interested in making a bag like this and also the Sweet Gingham Baby Blanket without having to get a whole , expensive set in case I don't find it fun (doubtful) or something I would use enough to justify the expense. I would appreciate any advice you have for someone just starting Tunisian Crochet. Thank You Gale

[@fostecc]

This may sound like a ridiculous question but what's the best way to hold the Tunesian hook. Regular crochet hooks I hold in the pencil form which is not possible with such a long hook. I've been holding it like a stick, all fingers folded over the body of the hook. Suggestions for a more comfortable hold. I

[@whoknitter4673]

one question.. Is that possible to stitch other end as you crochet? is that possible? instead of sewing the side?

[@elienweeks2362]

Could this be made using macrame cotton?

[@martyna7664]

Można taką torebkę zrobić z raffi ?

[@danielconnor8516]

Not to be that annoying person who "suggests" video ideas, but please do more yarn reviews like the lion brand one. It is really helpful and really comforting to watch (especially with your manner of talking). Maybe try reviewing "ice yarns" or aunt lydias?? Idk.
