Welcome to our tutorial on "How to Add a Zipper to a Crochet Bag." Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, we'll guide you through the process of adding a zipper to any bag. In this video, we demonstrate the technique on our Granny Style Crossbody Bag.
By following our easy-to-follow steps, you'll learn how to crochet directly onto the zipper, working around it in Sc. The end result will be a seamless and polished finish that looks professionally done. No need to worry about using thread; we'll be using a yarn needle and yarn to sew the zipper to the inside of the bag.
This tutorial is perfect for anyone who wants to take their crochet skills to the next level, as well as those looking to give their handmade bags a finished and professional look. Follow along with us, and you'll achieve a gorgeous and durable zipper that looks like it was always a part of the bag.
So, go grab your materials, and let's get started! Don't forget to pause and rewind as necessary. We hope you enjoy this tutorial, and we can't wait to see the bags you create.
Thank you for watching, and happy crocheting!

    Thank you SO much for posting this! I'm very tall and chunky and have a hard time buying cross body bags. SO i've been making them myself. I can crochet a strap for my self that is long enough and will sit at my hip, where i want it. Not under my boobs😂Where I don't want it I I used to sew and took tailoring in high school, but that was over 45 yrs ago and completely forgot how to put in a zipper. I LOVE your video and saved it to my file. You make it look so easy, so i'm going to make the bag and put in a zipper! So glad I subscribed to your site.

    I made 2 of these and my zippers came out really wavy. I just finished crocheting the yarn around the edge of the zipper for my 3rd bag, and I really made an effort to space my stitches out a little more, and no wave or curving. I also stitched a little closer to the edge of the zipper. Not sure if that is what helped or not, but when I attach to the bag, I’m going to watch my tension, too.

    Why doesn't she answer These questions ?? It seems like she only responds to people thanking or complimenting her ... not just here but her other videos also . I asked a question on one of her other videos and got a condescending answer .... what good is it if we are having trouble and you don't answer .. very frustrated

    If the crochet looks wavy, there are too many stitches. If it “cups,” there are too few stitches.
