      @@rhiannewood9161 hi, I hope I’m not bothering! I was wondering what you can fit in the bigger bag? I was hoping to fit a 2” binder and a laptop and some other bare necessities but I highly doubt it’ll all fit, but I’d love to know!

    Bestie update: I figured that after a while of wearing the strap will stretch out. Maybe try 16 rows for the strap for a more optimal length 🥰

    Ich hätte eine Frage könntest du vielleicht ein Video dazu machen und zeigen wie man gleich große häkel Stücke häkeln kann? Bei mir werden sie dann immer unterschiedlich groß
    Auch danke für das Video :)

    when i finshed it was much bigger than it was but I think it was because I added stitches I want suppose to but I will update u when I am done

      I finished the bag and I just realize that it important to count ur stitches to make it small. And here’s a tip! If u are shorter then the bag will be better if u amke the body 14 rows and making the strap smaller as well

    With the bigger bag, chaining 52, I some how end up with 13 instead of an even number for my colors.

    Hi I didn’t understand how you made the sides, how are they attached to the rest of the bag?
