//FAQs??
-How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.

Beautiful work. Can you show us how to do an inside cover with cloth? So it looks like a complete bag that nothing falls out from holes. Thank you in advaance
Really good instructions love the bag
Very interesting video!
I also love that you make left and right handed tutorials to make it easier for anyone ❤️🦋
I have just finished making my first ever crochet bag, and now I’ll need to make another!! Love this idea ❤️
I love you and your channel so much!! I started crocheting when I was 12 from watching your channel!! I taught myself from your videos and I always crocheted throughout the years and you were a huge impact in my journey. I am now 21 and own my own crochet business!! You taught me everything I know!! 😭🦋 Thank you!!!
You are very welcome, and congratulations on your business I wish you the very best of luck :)
Mesmerising…….so relaxing watching your nimble fingers create beautiful squares which come together to make this lovely bag. Well done !
Thank you so much 😊
This bag is sooo beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much! I never thought I'd enjoy making my own tote bag through crochet. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow too.

I've just got 2 more squares to add to my bag. So excited. Making it as a surprise for a friend :)

Love these bags. I made one for my daughter a few weeks ago with sunflower grannies
That's what I want to do! Yellow handles too?

Yeeeeeeesss I have been waiting for a tutorial! Thanks! ❤️
You are very welcome :)
I've just ordered the yarn to finally make this super bag after buying the pattern when you first released it. I can't wait to see how mine turns out! Thanks for the clear tutorial.
You are very welcome and let me know how you get on :)
@@bellacococrochet All finished and lined. So pleased that it turned out well. My first join as you go so I definitely needed the tutorial as well as the written pattern. Thank you! 🌟
Hi Bella.I am from the Philistines and i love yourtutorials.As a beginner i a really understood everything..specially i am trying to make some bags.Thank you so much.Goodluck and God bless!🙂💕
You are very welcome :)
Idk why I’m having trouble assembling mine😆. I’ve got the squares made already but joining as you go would be better for this I think. I like this tote a lot. Thank you!
i agree. a demostration of how all of them them get assembled would be helpful
And also the way you make it is so simple and easy thanks very much for that
Most welcome 😊
Your method of making handles is sooo much easier!!
Glad it was helpful :)
Oh wow! That's a great review and comment, encourages me to learn from this instructor also!
Thank you for sharing lovely pattern with us.Hope I can be able to join the squares correctly. Thank you once again. Stayblessed Bela.🥰
You are very welcome :)
I love the way you make this bag and I am a little girl doing it
Thank you :)
Absolutely beautiful bag 👍👍❤️🙏🏻
Thank you :)
Welp, think I have my Christmas crafts picked out~ Now off to get yarn!!!
Great video. Really good clear explanations and close ups.
Thank you glad it was of help :)
Very pretty bag Sarah-Jayne! I always seem to have trouble with those squares that are folded. I have one from a year ago that I haven’t finished and I think your tutorial will help! Thanks so much!🌸🌺
You are very welcome :)
😊
It’s just beautiful!!
Thank you :)
I love this bag
Just received my yarn to start this project 👍🏻
Thank you for this!! I haven’t been able to find a good tutorial for bag straps!
You are very welcome :)
Thank you very much, finally I manage to make this bag
You're welcome :)
I have all my squares made and am ready to join them all together, it would help massively to have seen this in the video as I haven’t got a clue where to start. I’ve been crocheting for less than a month. I’m terrible at reading patterns so video tutorials are a lot easier for me to make things. I’m going to purchase your pattern anyway as I’m hoping it will give me some insight as to which square goes first and then which ones are next and so on. A bit daunting but I’m hoping it will be easy to understand 😮💨🙏🏻
Brilliant work as always
Thank you :)
It's really great and beautiful awesome i love it
Thank you :)
Not sure how to get this erratum to the right place, but if you buy the printable pattern, the instructions are a tiny bit wrong. Pattern says "Block 11 ... JAYGO two sides to block 7 and 8" It should say "JAYGO two sides to block 7 and 9". It is clear in the diagram underneath, thank goodness. Have just finished making the bag and am very happy with it, thank you.
You are very welcome and thank you for pointing this out :)
Really helpful tutorial! This was my first time doing the straps like that. When connecting the lose end of the strap to the top of the bag on the other side, I followed what you did but with the big inside out so that the braided/raised side was in the inside of the bag. I think it looks a lot more seamless from the outside, both sides look more similar! Thought I would share for any one else who might want to try it that way too
Glad it helped :)
thank you so much for this video! i never knew how to make the handle.
You are very welcome :)
I’ve only been crocheting for a couple of weeks… and I’m almost done with my bag :))) It’s so prettyyyyyy. I did have to wing it a bit and I didn’t use the pattern at all so only based off of the video… I also did the fourth round as a color so my white boarder is only one layer and it’s great!!
That is brilliant, well done :)
just curious, which part did you have to wing?:)
@@dorna2325 Mainly the connecting of the squares with the 5th round... I didn't know what order to connect them so it got very confusing knowing which sides to connect and which sides to do the 5th round without connecting them.... I did manage to pull it off though with some critical thinking lol
Fantastic video as always :)
Thank you :)
Thanks for helping with the granny squares. As far as assembly I had to view another video.
You are welcome, can you let me know what it was that you struggled with in regards to joining it together as this will help me going forward :)
@@bellacococrochet I struggled with trying to crochet the final row. In your video you did not show how many squares to assemble on a row to create the bag.
Very nice. I’m making one 😍
Thank you :)
This is my current project. I'm doing sunflower squares. I have 2 more squares to make then I can start sewing together.
awesome, it so beautiful.. thank's
You're very welcome 😊
Lovely yarns
They are really nice to work with x
Just about to order the yarn. Brilliant idea.
I love it ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you :)
Love it!! If I could just get it straight in my head! Lol since my stroke it’s awful difficult to do what I used to be able to and it can be so very frustrating.🙁
Take it step by step, you'll get there x
I understand. I still doing crochet sewing quilt with my hand. You had been good memories and enjoy. 😉👍
This will be great exercise for your brain don’t you think? I hope you can get back to where you once were prior to your stroke. Was is ischemic?
I’m so sorry. My husband had a massive stroke in Feb of 2020 and things have been very difficult for him. He loves video games and had so many problems playing. But recently he upped the difficulty on his favorite game from easy to normal. He’s not where he was before the stroke, but he improves daily. It will get better as long as you don’t give up. The doctor told us a lot of things my husband would “never” do again, and he’s surpassing it over and over again.
How terribly frustrating for you!!! I'll bet that crochet has to be wonderful therapy for your brain and motor skills, however. Be patient with yourself! The brain is complicated and mysterious, and it can take longer than any of us would like to heal it when things go wrong, but I definitely believe you'll get there!
Your amazing, I’m practicing lots but still struggling. I love the thought that I may in time master this wonderful skill. Did it take you along time to learn? Thanks for your wonderful tutorials 👍
i spent so long making this omfg, i used 4 balls of neutral colored yarn, i spent around 30 hours on this
Everything takes longer than you think it will! But worth it.
Yeah this took a surprisingly long amount of time lol. But learned so much!
Perfect 🧶👍🇨🇭
love it! thank you xoxo
You are very welcome :)
Beautiful I love it
Thank you :)
Very nice I making one now
Thanks
Most welcome 😊
love it.
Thank you :)
Such a gorgeous bag for such a good cause ❤️
Thank you :)
Wonderful!
Thank you :)
Has anybody made the handles in a different colour(s). I have ran out of the colour that you do the handle in but have no idea what colours would work (from the existing colours of course). I am very, very happy with the bag (handleless) so far and loved this tutorial. I used your blog on this as well to be able to get a better idea of where the squares fit together, thank you so much.
You are very welcome, why not try a mixture of two of the other colours together to see what that looks like? Good luck and let me know what you decide to do :)
I’m trying to make one of these myself. All I need to know is how many squares are shown here. Your channel is fabulous! 🧶
Thank you, I used 13 squares for this bag, all the information you need can be found on my blog at bellacococrochet.com :)
I hope to make this
Thanks
Lindo 👏👏👏🌺🤩
Thank you
You're very welcome :)
Thanks!
You are very welcome :)
The link in the description for the yarns didn't work - could I use worsted weight cotton yarn in similar colors?
Love this bag. Is the yarn 4ply ? If I use an 8 ply cotton yarn would it be the same?
Hi, can I use your crochet designs for my small business? 💙
Thank you and God bless you! 😊
This bag is so pretty. ❤️
You are welcome to sell the finished item just not the pattern, and thank you :)
شكرا جزيلا لكي
انت مرحب بك :)
Hiya. I'm very new to crochet - 1 week! These crochet squares are different to the ones I've made from your earlier video, ch 2 instead of ch 3. Can I use the ones I've already made for this project? I've already made an infinity scarf, wrist warmers and loads of squares from your tutorials, they're so easy to follow - thank you!
Yes if you have squares already made then feel free to use those. You can then pick up from round 4 or 5 to use the join as you go method. Xx
@@bellacococrochet thank you 😊
Ohhhhhh. I love this bag. Y do we need to use double yarn? If I used a single strand would the bag have a problem? Ty Sarah Jayne 🥰
I'd like to know this too. Did you get a reply?
@@Diana-mg7qu no not yet. Shes normally v good at replying do I'm sure she will when she has time. Maybe I should just go ahead and fo single steand, c what happens 🤔
@@lovinlife5912 I think she suggested to do double pull/strand is because the single strand is too thin for the project which is bag
And using double pull/strand is good especially when making bag because it makes the project durable,thick and firm.
@@emilynecimafranca831 ahhhh ok ty 😊
The bag is really pretty! I had a question however, you only attached the handle to the out most row of single (UK double) stitches. Is that strong enough? The bag looks big enough to put a lot of stuff in it which would put a lot of stress on the handle.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it 😊 Provided you attach your yarn for the handle securely then it should be strong enough. The pattern calls for cotton yarn as this is nice and sturdy.
Thanks for this, my first project done! How do you sew in the ends??
You are very welcome, I have a tutorial on how to sew in your ends - here is the link:- th-cam.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/w-d-xo.html :)
This is so nice 😍 i would like to make one for myself. Can i know what type of yarn did you use?
I used Paintbox Yarns, Cotton DK (100% Cotton) :)
Can you use Aran yarn? if so would it be 1 or 2 strands? Thank you
Hi there just found this and want to know if I can use DK to make it and not the cotton type? I have lots of DK but not cotton and it seems rather expensive to make in Cotton. Just want to give it a go. Have learned to crochet following your videos which make it seem so easy to follow. Thanks you.
Hi there, I'm not Bella, but I do have an answer for you! Yes, you absolutely can substitute out your fibers especially for a bag or something where gauge and sizing aren't important. Just be aware that you might not get the same weight of bag or drape of fabric in your final product, but it will still definitely function as a bag! Bust that stash, gurl! No reason to go out and buy if you already have, in my opinion~
@@firegodessreiko Thank you so much for the information and answer to my question. I haven't been crocheting for long so wasn't sure about the swop. I know they may be different sizes but as long as it's in all the same yarn they should fit to make the bag. Will have to give it a serious thought on attempting it now. All I have made before is granny square blankets.
You can absolutely substitute the yarn type if you want to 😊 Although I've used cotton, acrylic would work equally well.
@@bellacococrochet Thank you so much. I just thought it was a way to use granny squares other than blankets. Which is all have done in the past couple of years since I've been crocheting.
@@firegodessreiko can i use milk cotton?😅
Hi, I am a bit confused. I followed you video for the basic granny square and you ch3 for the corners and ch1 for the space between but for this bag when you come to do the joining you only do ch2 for the corner and no chain between. Which is it?
I’ve used less chain stitches in this version to keep the squares more sturdy for the bag 😊
I'm new to crochet and so don't want to spend alot of money at present on yarn. I have been given some Aran. Can I use Aran yarn for this design and if so do I still need to use 2 strands of 1? Thank you
Yes you can substitute your yarn, but I would recommend doing a gauge swatch unless you don't mind your bag working up a bit smaller/larger than the sample in the pattern 😊 You should find that a three round granny square in your yarn measures 9.5cm, and you can adjust your hook size until you reach this. You may find that you don't need to double up your yarn in this case.
I’ve reviewed the written pattern and video several times. Do all 13 get round 4? When instructions say ‘work 3 sides as round 5, jaygo to block ##- do I only do round 5 to 3 sides or as per the instructions?
When using the Join As You Go method, the final round of the square is worked as you join it. So in the example you give, you should work three sides of the square as normal (as those don't have to be joined to anything) and then join your final side as you crochet it 😊
💗💗💗💗💗💗
Do I need two colors of the same yarn to double the yarn? I’ve never worked with double only single strand yarn. Ty if you have time to respond. ❤
The pattern uses two strands of the same colour yarn held together; this ensures the bag is nice and sturdy 😊 You could also hold two different colours together if you wanted to create a fun, marled effect.
Please is there a tutorial to show how to join all squares one by one Im really struggling
If you pop along to my blog here: blog.bellacococrochet.com/crochet-on-the-high-street-and-why-you-shouldnt-buy-it/ you’ll find a diagram for the joining which explains the order in which to join all the squares together 😊
I have made some solid granny squares, can you advise how I can join these squares together. I have an idea for joining squares 1 & 2 but not sure how to go about joining the others.
Hi Lorraine it does show you in the tutorial how to join the bag together :)
❤❤❤❤
🥰
Can I use a 4.5mm crochet hook or would the bag turn out a lot smaller? I’m new to crochet lol x
It will work out smaller as I use a 5mm hook, but you may find it isn't too much of a difference. The best thing to do would be to make a gauge swatch - for this pattern a five round granny square should measure 14.5cm 😊
Hello I have question. I am planning on using a different granny square method ( it actually a blanket stitch but I want to make a bag with it ) but I’m not sure how big the square should be, like how much do I need to chain and how many rows :) thank you 😊
Each square for the tote bag should measure around 14.5cm when all five rounds are completed, so you will need to crochet your squares in your chosen stitch and keep measuring them to match the gauge 😊
@@bellacococrochet thank you so much your so kind 😄💖
Do i need a bigger crochet hook? Since we are double wrapping the strands?
You should use a 5mm hook for this which takes into account the double strands 😊
Hi Sarah-Jayne, I'm really struggling with the JAYG method. Can I not just sew the squares together? Thank you 😊
Yes if you wanted to just make sure you are sewing into the top of every stitch to make it sturdy :)
Stupid question maybe, but on the granny square pattern there is a chain one between the trebles and chain three in the corners. On this pattern there isn't a chain 1 and only 2 chains in the corner. Will this affect the end product? Sorry I'm a newbie.
Without the chain spaces you'll find that the granny squares are a little more structured, which is perfect for a tote bag 😊 Quite a lot of things like this in crochet come down to personal preference too, so if you prefer the look of the granny squares without the chain 1s etc, you may find you want to keep making them like this for other projects too.
just wondering if it was possible to make the granny squares without using two strings of yarn and why/why not?
You can use one strand of yarn if you prefer but this will affect the size, you so will probably have to work more rounds to reach the same size square 😊
Do u double the yarn to make the bag stronger?
Yes :)
Hi! Can I use a DK (8ply or 10ply) acrylic yarn? If yes, would I need to double yarn?
I recommend using cotton yarn for this if you can, as it’s a lot sturdier. If you do decide to use acrylic DK you will need to double it up still 😊
@@bellacococrochet thank you for replying! I did go ahead and bought cotton yarn. excited to complete this, all your videos really help me understand how to crochet ☺💕
👍
