Hi thank you so much for the tutorial, does it have to be a cord yarn, can it be any type of wool?

[@knittingwithgulnur]

Hi! You are welcome! I knitted a bag using a 2.5 mm diameter cotton cord. In principle, you can use different materials, as the pattern, a garter stitch, is versatile. However, I recommend avoiding very thin yarns so that the bag can serve as a shopper and hold an adequate amount of items. Polyester or acrylic cord would work well. It's best to avoid using excessively large diameters to prevent the bag from becoming too heavy. You can also use t-shirt yarn, preferably instead of standard 9 mm use thin variants with a width of 5-7 mm. Different types of cords and t shirt yarn are the most common for knitting bags. However, you can also use regular yarn for summer clothing, such as cotton or blended materials. If you choose thin yarn, knit it with two strands.

Hello! Can you please make a tutorial for a checkered bag? Thank you

[@knittingwithgulnur]

Hi! I have already purchased needed items, hopefully I will do it soon!

[@Mon._.Tresor]

Heyy , i want to knit this but I only have the knitting needles without the connecting rope hold both needles together, can I still use the other kneedle

[@knittingwithgulnur]

Hi, if you have straight needles, you can only knit the bottom of this bag with them. To knit the body of the bag, you'll need circular needles so that you can knit in the round. Even if you have double-pointed needles and their length allows you to accommodate all the stitches, it will still be challenging to work with them

[@alexharrison4173]

hey! how did you get your work off of the circular needles and onto the yarn at the 21 minute mark

[@knittingwithgulnur]

Using a needle with a large eye, which is used for sewing knitted pieces together or for ribbon embroidery, I thread a cord or some thick yarn through it. Then I transfer the loops from the needle onto the cord that are not needed for the work yet. Only the loops needed for the work remain on the needles. Alternatively, you can transfer the loops onto other circular needles if you have any extras.

[@yuhhh1942]

Hii, I'm not sure which yarn is the best for this project, do you have any recommendations?❤

[@knittingwithgulnur]

Hi! I knitted this bag from a cotton cord with a diameter of 2.5 mm. You can use a 2 mm, 2.5 mm, or a light 3 mm cord. In terms of composition, it can be cotton, polyester, or there are also acrylic cords. I think any of these can be used for knitting. Additionally, make sure to choose the appropriate size of knitting needles. If you have any further questions, I would be happy to answer them.

[@hameeda2743]

Hi! Hope you will upload more knit bag. Can you please suggest how to make this bag larger in size? purse thread will work

[@knittingwithgulnur]

Hello! Please accept my apologies for the late response. I'll try to make up for it soon. I've just posted a new knitting video, and I hope you'll enjoy it. Regarding your question about increasing the size of the bag, since this bag was knitted using a garter pattern, you can safely increase the number of stitches. I'm not sure which yarn you'll be using for the bag, so you can start by knitting a sample, and based on your measurements, determine the necessary stitch count. As we begin with the bag's bottom, which also defines its future size, make the bottom larger than what I showed in the video. Also, please recalculate the stitches once you finish knitting the bag's bottom, as we'll divide that count by 4 when we start knitting the handles. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

[@hameeda2743]

@@knittingwithgulnur Thank you for the explanation. Does it mean it is a multiple of 4 stitches?

[@knittingwithgulnur]

@@hameeda2743 If you think about it, you don't need to worry about making it a multiple of 4, as our pattern is very simple. So, if you want a larger bag, just knit a larger bottom. When it's time to knit the handles, distribute the stitches more or less evenly. I think a few stitches more or less won't make much of a difference. If we had bold patterns like cables or intricate designs, we would definitely need to calculate the exact stitch count. So for now, knit it simpler and enjoy the process❤❤

[@hameeda2743]

@@knittingwithgulnur Thank you so much. Good health to you.

[@knittingwithgulnur]

@@hameeda2743 Likewise, and I wish you all the best as well.

[@becreative9649]

Instead of circular needles can we use normal ones?

[@knittingwithgulnur]

In my opinion, for circular knitting, circular needles are the most suitable. Otherwise, you would need long double-pointed needles, consisting of 4 needles, but knitting in that case might be more challenging. The most ideal option for this bag is circular needles. If you have regular straight needles, I have another tutorial on my channel where I demonstrate knitting 2 simple bags using the garter stitch pattern. The first one, which I knitted with green and lilac yarn, is suitable for such needles. I'll leave the link, and you can check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIO3dpSlZ7OFl80

[@kasiak4695]

How did you change the placement of the working yarn before you started the handles? In 21:58 it's next to the red marker, where you finished the previous row, but in 21:59 it's somewhere else. Is it a new thread?

[@knittingwithgulnur]

HI! First, all the loops were divided into four parts to knit four straps. The loops required for one strap are those that are currently on the needles. However, the beginning of the row falls in the middle of the needle. While knitting the first strap, I did not cut the thread from the skein. According to the garter stitch pattern, I would have needed to knit the loops knit-wise until the red marker. After the red marker, the purl loops should be knitted. To avoid interrupting the thread at this point, I decided to knit these loops until the red marker as purl loops, so that all the loops on the needle became the same, i.e., purl. This is necessary because when we knit garter stitch back and forth, all subsequent rows are knitted as knitwise loops. Once you have finished knitting this first strap, you can cut off the thread, since the remaining straps will be knitted separately, and we will attach the thread from the skein. I hope I was able to explain it to you.

[@kasiak4695]

Thank you for the reply! I think I'll be able to knit it now! 😀

@@kasiak4695 You're welcome! I'm glad that my reply was helpful to you. Happy knitting!

[@grsy98]

@@kasiak4695Hey! Did you manage to get through this step? I’m having trouble here too.

[@kasiak4695]

@@grsy98 while transferring stitches onto the needle, you need to unravel a little, until the yellow marker. From there you start knitting the handle flat. You should purl the first row and since you unravelled some stitches, the garter will be a little disrupted there but it's okay. You don't care about the red marker anymore.

[@reisanguyen111]

i am confused, R11 by pattern right ? So knit like R2 or R6 ?

[@knittingwithgulnur]

This pattern is for garter stitch. When knitting in the round, you alternate between one wrong-side row and one right-side row. In the video, for the first row, I started knitting purl stitches from the beginning to the end, marking the end of the row. Then, for the second row, from the beginning to the marker (end of row), I only knitted knit stitches. So, we should alternate between wrong-side and right-side rows until we reach the point where we start knitting the handles. That means all odd rows, such as 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc., are knitted like row 1, and all even rows, such as 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc., are knitted like row 2. When knitting the bottom of the bag and the handles, we switch to turning rows, and all rows are knitted with knit stitches during turning. I hope I was able to explain it well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Happy knitting!

[@reisanguyen111]

thank u, but i mean R11 in 8:23 u said by pattern. so i need to knit R11 like R2 or R6. Cause R6 u do something different at the last . I'm just learn how to knit so 😂 i'm just little confused

[@knittingwithgulnur]

@@reisanguyen111 So, let me explain how to knit the bottom. First, I cast on 32 stitches onto the needles and knitted a total of 4 rows (there were 32 stitches on the needles). Then, starting from the 5th row, every other row, I made 3 increases, as I demonstrated when knitting the 5th row. Then, I showed how to knit the increases from the 5th row in the 6th row, where I made the first increase at the beginning of the row through the front loop and the last increase at the end of the row through the back loop. Let's go back to the increases. The first increase was in the 5th row, the second in the 7th row, and the last third increase was in the 9th row. Since I only make increases every other row, I knitted the 6th, 8th, and 10th rows without increases, just as I knitted the 6th row. So, by the time you finish the 10th row, because you increased 3 times by 2 stitches each time, you'll have 38 stitches on the needles. Then, when I say to knit according to the pattern, it means that no increases or decreases are needed; you just knit the pattern itself, which in our case is knit stitches in the turning rows. Turning rows are when you knit one row, turn the work, and knit the next row. So, we knit rows 11 through 14 as row 10, with 38 stitches on the needles. Next, to make the bottom of the bag symmetrical, we need to return to the initial number of 32 stitches. Therefore, just as we made 3 increases, we make 3 decreases in the same way. The first decrease is in the 15th row, the second in the 17th row, and the last in the 19th row. I demonstrate how to decrease when knitting the 15th row(knit 2 stitches together), and how to knit according to the pattern without changes, which is the 16th row. So, you knit rows 15, 17, and 19 like the 15th row, and rows 16, 18, and 20 like the 16th row. That's it! Let me know if it's clearer now. If not, I can explain it differently. It's a pleasure for me to teach you something new, especially if this is one of your first projects.

[@reisanguyen111]

​@@knittingwithgulnurOh, so i was doing right 💦 Thank u very much

[@quynhchitonnu8677]

16:31 Here we do everything in the same way. Can i ask what way?😅

[@knittingwithgulnur]

Hello! By this point, we've knitted the bottom in a shape roughly resembling an oval, using turning rows. Now, to knit the top of the bag in the round, I was picking up stitches along the edges. When I said 'the same way at 16:31, I meant to repeat picking up stitches along the side like at 12:07. The idea is to pick up stitches around the perimeter of the bottom to transition to knitting the body of the bag. If my response is unclear, please let me know, and I'll clarify.
