For those having issues, or wondering how to figure out what size to make your purses, try using a newspaper flyer, like the ones in your mailboxes? Fold them 1st in the shape she shows in the video, to see what size they make. Just pick ANY page. Then go from there.
When you've got the size of paper "purse" you want, chain the # of chains, w/out stretching it out too much!, (you'll want an even #+1 I believe. Don't worry about that extra ch if I'm wrong!).
Keep a square piece of that paper. It'll serve as your "model" for the height of the rectangle you'll crochet for your purse! WRITE in it what you're doing w/ that piece of paper or I'll guarantee it'll get thrown away!! 😭
Write out how many crochet chains of LENGTH it represents, & eventually how many ROWS you'll have crocheted. Mentioning the yarn you used & WHICH HOOK. Think I'm crazy? Each yarn + the hook will give you a different result for a project. Even your mood, time of day, whether you'd had a fight w/ a neighbor, friend, slide, child (adult, little, adolescent, or tween), every little thing will affect how your project will turn out. Happy, sad, hungry or not, tired or relaxed, such or healthy that day, or pain level if you're chronically ill. Even the weather.
You are creating ART, & fabric, w/ your hands & fingers, so the tension in your extremities will be reflected in what you make.
Happy hooks, my dears! ❤
Yes, gauge changes even in the same person's crochet😉
Great instructions!! I want to stop all my WIPS and start this Beautiful bag:)) Thank you :)) 💕
I just made this! I used k&c essentials 100% cotton in cream & river run blue and then for my 6 rows did black with 24/7 cotton since I had that on hand. It is so cute so far. I’m about to sew it together right now ❤️ I wanted your colors but thought I better use what I have on hand first 🤣 Like many of you, I’m sure you do lol, I have my own “store” of yarn on hand so I didn’t need to purchase l any lol
@@jenh8513 spend $100 on yarn, sell something for $20 "I just made $20!!!" crochet math
Thank you for this tutorial! I made it for my daughter who is going on a cruise in a few weeks. Your instructions were very helpful! ❤
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I can’t wait to make one.
I love this bag, can’t wait to try and make my daughter one. Great instructions also. Thank you.
Just finished making this and am about to start on a second one. Absolutely love this pattern! Thank you for an easy to follow tutorial and such a great pattern!❤
Question. How do you think the bag will hold up where you sewed the straps on to? Do you think when the bag is full that it won't put too much stress right there? I really want to make this as a gift but I want to be sure it will hold up in that spot. Thank you!
Hey, are 3 yarn balls enough to finish the bag?
This is great! I just wish the transition from single to double stitch was slower. I'm a little confused about that part. So we are skipping a stitch, doing a single stitch and then a double stitch, in the same stitch?
Slow down the speed when you watch that part...
It’s the Suzette stitch
Yes, skip a stitch and then do sc and dc into the same stitch.
You can slow down the video. Hover your mouse over the video and click the cog symbol. Scroll down to "Playback speed" and choose the speed that suits you.
So excited to try this bag!!!
Thanks for sharing, a great tutorial love the bags and definitely going to give this a try x
Omg thank you for sharing it! I love this bag!❤

Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial! Your bag is gorgeous and I look forward to making mine. 🤩🧶
Love this❤
Finally a bag i want to make! Do you have a simple granny style bag to share too?
It took me.forever to get through the single crochet row. Those "humps" are difficult. I redid my chains looser and still having a hard time.
This is one of the best lessons I have seen. Thank you
I have just started crocheting to get again after so many years and I am loving your patterns. I appreciate the free pattern and Combines with the video it is perfect \. It makes it so much more easy and so much more straightforward. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, ❤
It might just be me cuz I am so bad at math but if i did the math right then it would be 45 rows? 😅 Someone please help lol 😅😅
@@Shrek4Life21 sooooo, how may rows did you do? Haha I'm waiting for answer from author but nothing.. 😊
@@adnahalimic6996 well I chained 135 and they said to do 1:3 the length for the height sooo. 135 ÷ 3=45
Idk 😶
@@Shrek4Life21 and did you finish the bag? Is it good ? 😊😊

Wonderful @BrianaK! I've been searching for a beginner purse tutorial and am so pleased with your video. I appreciate you and greatly applaud your creativity. Thanks again!
So lovely, gorgeous colours, loved the striping and great texture to the stitch. I will add this to my to do list 😊 Thanks for a great pattern Briana! Xx
What a stunning bag. 🤩
Usually I only crochet amigurumi but the pattern looks so beautiful. I will definitely make one. You earned a follower ❤
Im gonna make this but with a thicker cotton so hopefully will be fairly sturdy. Thank u ❤
Oh how mice, I can't wait to make this!
I like the construction of this but I've never lined a bag. Is it possible to sew fabric to crochet before folding?what is a beginner video to learn line a crochet bag
I want to make but don't know what type of yarn. Any ideas from those that made
What are the names of the Colors they are gorgeous together!
Ok is it parchment ivory, and Marland?
Hi I’m having trouble with the seaming of the bag. Every time I fold it, the 2 sides are uneven. Frogged it and tried to redo it but I’m still having the same problem. Do you have any tips or advice on how to seam the bag properly? 🥺
Beautiful ❤ i made a few of these some years ago but love this striped one and will make it.❤❤❤❤
You made it look so simple!!. It's very beautiful.
I made this but it turned out wonkie! The V on each side didn't line up. Am I being too fussy!
Getting things together to make one now. Thank you SO much ❤😊
Briana, I would love to make this for my 5 year old granddaughter. How large of a rectangle would you make???
Charming handbag, lovely instructions!
You mention you did 134 chains to get started , how many rows did you do for this bag?
@@alicepipermorris8505 it seems like 1+19 rows...
It seems like 1+19 rows..
How much yarn do u need
Hi Brianna, love the tutorials can i know exactly how many rows did u make on this tutorial? Tankkiiuuu
Love this design! This goes to the top of my "to do" list.
Aah, i want to make it, you chose great color and it's so inspiring ❤
Thank you for your tutorial❤
Can someone help me every time I do turning chains my prodgect turns out round and curvy instead of square and flat
You may be missing stitches at the end. You could try using stitch markers so you don’t miss any.
@@jennprescott2757 ok thx for the advice 😊
It's also about tension, & possibly stitches.
Turning chains should:
1st) be as tall as the stitches they represent in the row. E.g.: if they represent a DC (US terms), then the Standard is 3 chains, if it's too be for a sc (US terms) then just 1 chain, etc.
2) if you ARE using the right # of chains, but you're making them too tightly, OR just generally your tension is too tight, you can do 1 or more things: learn a different way to hold the yarn (I did this!), use a different size hook than suggested for the yarn or the project (I've done this too!), OR, finally, just keep practicing your tension w/ different projects where tension doesn't matter, like wash cloths made w/ cheap yarn that doesn't bother your hands, which I did when I took up crocheting after more than 30 yrs away. I bought a LOT of cotton yarn on clearance (the colors didn't matter!) from a good site, and made a bunch of patterns & used them to practice tension & stitches. And I kept undoing them ALL! Annoyed my roommate, for some reason, but I didn't care. I just kept making mistakes, until I made fewer & fewer, & suddenly started making pretty things. ❤
Just a thought. Good luck!!
Beautiful bag!! I can’t wait to make it!❤️❤️
I don't understand where the other colors came from
I chained 135 but I feel like mine is a lot longer 😅😅
Mine is the same. Working with rico creative cotton aran and after my 1st sc row, its measuring 33 inches. Ugh..
I chained 135 and it came out to about 40 inches
36 inches here, used slightly thinner yarn too. Will it still work?
@@christinas8127 yes it still works! Just follow the measurements making it 1/3 of the size of the initial chain!
I started making this purse and noticed it was really long measured it and it was 44 inches long instead of 30 so I tore it all back out and started over. My 30 inches added up to 79 chains. Can I do that?
Feel like I'm doing something wrong 😢 started with 30 in and now have 34 in. This is my biggest problem with crocheting. idk what I'm doing wrong!!! 😅😢
Hi ! Beginner here. I also wonder if the single and double are in the same stitch (and is it the whole stitch, front loop only etc) and mostly wondering if you're doing a chain one or not before turning the project ?
Because since i've started crocheting i destroy my work every time i try without that sooooooo I'm a little bit confused. Sorry !
Anyway, the bag looks awesome and thank you for the tuto !
The single crochet and double crochet go into the same stitch, working through both loops.
You can ch 1 at the beginning of the row if you want, but it's not necessary.
Thank you for answering ! 😘
Thank you Briana K 👏 Love this bag ❤ I've made one using a solid colour now I'm trying stripes. Did you do 2 rows of colour A and B and 6 rows of colour C?
That is so very cute!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 🧐🤓😁👍
New sub, loved the video. Did you use only 3 yarn balls? Is 3 enough to finish the bag?
Love the design loads Briana 🥳💗
What are the dimensions of the rectangle before folding. If there is not a "set measurement I guess it's possible to free hand it by constantly checking
Thanks for sharing this amazing tutorial. I love the striped bag! 💜
B. días, por favor me podrían hacer llegar el patrón en español. Gracias. Un saludo
I will like to how much yards do you need thanks it is very nice
Lovely bag. What's the name of the stitch? X
Suzette Stitch
Thank you gor this tutorial Brianna, I'm looking forward to making this bag. ❤
How do you recommend doing the color switching? Do you have a preferred way so that the ends done unravel?
Can you link for the hardware?
Salve potresti dirmi la misura totale della lavorazione e che misura viene la. Grazie mille ❤borsa
thank you for sharing ❤
What colors is the 3 yarn balls you used?
Thank you so much for this! I'll be making this as a birthday gift for my friends 😊
Piękny wzór d-iekuje
Thank you for a beautiful bag and great tutorial.
Hugs from Florida
What yarn size did you use?
Thank you.😇
how many row should it have?
@@Lil-Sofia , she has said that the length is 3 times the width of the rectangle. So u can evenly divide the rows(of various colours) based on the length u take.
I started with 135 stitches chain as she mentioned.
@@Thisismypov ty
Can a different type of yarn be used to accomplish the sturdiness or does it have to be cotton?
You can use cotton/bamboo combos, but generally speaking, most creators like using cotton bc of sturdiness, that it doesn't fray (where the fibers didn't split apart easily like synthetic fibers do), but also cost effectiveness comes into play.
If you have access to a lot of wool, or wool garments you can recycle into this kind of project instead of, say mittens or hats which would be much more useful, then you're lucky. But synthetics like acrylic or polyesters have too much stretch (elasticity). This bag wouldn't look nice when you start putting things in of any weight. Alpaca, or any of the other natural, fibers are also quite expensive, & their properties would be wasted on a project that's to be worn like this, rather than to "protect" the body.
❤
You explain it very well .. the best tutorial ❤
Does three skeins of the comfy worsted create the whole bag? I know you used all three colors, but not certain how much to purchase.
YARDAGE:
380 yds
For a Solid bag - 4 balls
For a Striped Bag in 3 Colors - Color A: 2 balls, Color B: 2 balls, Color C: 1 ball
Bellissima ❤❤❤
Excellent instruction. I will definitely be making this this summer. Have you ever done the strap for anything else? Like as a belt or tank top strap? Or would it be too stiff?
Funny you ask...I currently have a pattern coming out in July that uses this strap on a tank top :)
@@BrianaK can’t wait! 😀
Where can I find the color chart for the multi colored bag?
That will be in the ad-free pdf: tidd.ly/4aZ8RcO
Are there any other dimensions that work well for the bag?
@@songbirdputikka she said 3:1 ratio… so you could do like a 15”x 5” for smaller or you could go bigger with like a 45”x 15” :)
I might try to make a 45x15 for like a pool bag.
Please how many inches should the starting chain have .. I did with yours but mine looks smalller
30 inches, the full pattern is on the blog :)
@@BrianaK
That's going Tobe my next project!! Thank you for sharing ❤
You’re welcome 😊
Can I use DK yarn?
Briana!, love this bag with multi colors. So glad you did this tutorial. 🥰
Thank you so much!!
Turkish please
I wish I could find a video on how to line the type of bag
There's plenty of tutorials on You Tube for lining similar bags
Love this a lot, Briana thanks for sharing 👍🙌💕🙏🏻
You are so welcome!
Hay yo no hablo ni entiendo Inglés y quiero tejer ese bolso 😢😢😢😢
Such a cute bag!
❤❤
Thanks so much for your tutorial. Very easy to understand, will be making as soon as done with baby blanket that I'm working on.
What a false tutorial. 135 stitches and 2 days of work and the rectangle is way too long.
Hey there, lots and lots of crocheters have made this with success. If your rectangle is too long then I’m guessing the gauge is most likely off. In the future you can start with a gauge swatch before getting into the project to make sure it sizes appropriately.
But there is good news here, the content of this bag is a 3 to 1 ratio, so if your height is 1/3 the length of your bag then it can turn out, it just might be a little bit bigger than the original.
This was a really rubb!sh tutorial.
