Hi friends! Hope you enjoy the video. I had a lot of fun making these summer tote bags and plan on making more. The yarn I purchased only had limited colors but I do have a link in the description box to another brand that I'll be using next time. So many colors to choose from! It's also a mercerized cotton but made by Lion Brand. Are you ready for summer? 🏖🤩

Im here again i guess im on my 6th bag :) i love this pattern.

I just love this bag and can see so many variations and fun embellishments to add to the outside. I do have a question. I just grabbed a ball of cotton yarn last night to follow along with the video and really got into it... Sadly this morning I realise that I am not going to have enough of my original colour, so need to add a few stripes in another colour. Brcause the row starts before the corner, should I continue in the original colour till I reach the corner and then start the new colour? What do you suggest please? and thanks for your beautiful pattern!

@PlayHookywithMe

Жыл бұрын

I’m so glad you are giving it a try! That’s a great question. I think you’ll be fine starting where each new round begins since we aren’t working these rounds continuously (like amigurumi, for example) so it should’nt get crooked . 🤞🏻 But this is just in my minds eye. I would recommend you start your next round with the new color and see how it looks to you. Keep me posted, please, because this question might come up again and I’m sure your feedback would be helpful 💕💕💕

Has anyone used the Bernat Maker yarn for a bag like this? Thoughts?

❤love this video your a great teacher! ❤ I'm actually looking for a Seashell collection bag for my grandkids ❤ I'm wondering what stretchy yarn could I use? I'd definitely appreciate your input 😊 thank you so much

@PlayHookywithMe

I would stick with this mercerized cotton because even though it doesn’t stretch a lot … it still stretched out with use. I used mine at the beach all week and it was great. I had 2 big towels in mine . I popped it in the dryer to tighten the shape back to normal after we got back. The yarn I recommend in the video would be great . Super durable and will hold up to repeated washing or water (seashell collection sounds like beach time to me) 💕

Thank you for the video i made it and it turns so pretty and useful, i used 4mm hook my bag turns smaller than your bag so i had to do more stitches in the stripe(the hand) ,you said 20 stitches and i did 24 stithes . Im Morrocan

Hi, i have created the body but seem to have an extra layer at the top? Is there a way to fix this?

@PlayHookywithMe

19 күн бұрын

I’m not sure what you mean by layer. . Is it noticeable ? Is it affecting placement of the strap? If it’s not, then I wouldn’t worry about it.

Because I just started crocheting last October, this was a new tutorial for me. Unfortunately, my Hobby Lobby didn't carry that mercerized cotton brand so I went with the 24/7 yarn. It's working up well but much smaller than yours (partly because it seems thinner, and probably partly due to my tension). Should I jump to a 5.5mm hook to get a similar size result?

@PlayHookywithMe

Ай бұрын

Yes, try a larger hook and see what you think 👍🏻💕

Ай бұрын

@@PlayHookywithMe Well, I learned a few things. First, Hobby Lobby does carry that yarn, they just renamed it and it doesn't say mercerized but the description on their website says it is. It's also in many more colors now. But, since I didn't learn that until later, I tried it with Bernat Maker Home Dec and a 4.5mm hook. It's not as lacy, but I think it will be a sturdy bag. Great tutorial!

No, we are working on the handles. You only seam where the time stamp says “seaming “- around 22 minutes 👍🏻

@PlayHookywithMe

The shape and amount of stitches changes slightly to build the sides on R5 so the “base” (bottom) of the bag is a flat rectangle shape consisting of 4 rounds. Is that what you’re referring to?
