I’ve always envied people who can crochet bags. I finally picked up my courage and tried a week ago. I’m so thankful for this video that I’ve selected and completed my bag. It is so nice! Your video is easy to follow and the music is soothing. Thank you. Will continue to crochet other bags from your channel. :)

I feel like anybody could crochet anything with your videos. I can’t wait to make this for my girls.

[LadyKnight]

I compliment you on your style of teaching.
Very clear and simple, no talking, easy instructions, no distracting background or nails, very basic just like it ought to be. Well done!

Started this project last night and I’m on my 10th round, really enjoying it as a beginner this is really easy thank you

[KylieQueen]

Thank you for this easy pattern and great tutorial. I’ve been crocheting for 1.5 years, but it was my first time making a bag and it turned out so nicely. I used almost 3 skeins (~400 yards) of YarnArt macrame yarn (2mm polypropylene) with a 4.5mm hook and I made my starting chain 36 to accommodate for the difference in yarn weight. Thanks again!

As a novice crocheter I have started a half size tote as I only had half of the required cotton in my stash. I and am super pleased with what I've made so far. Thank you!!!

[janvijain]

Perfect, perfect, perfect!! As a beginner this is so easy to follow once you know all the stitches. I love that the design is also easy to edit to adjust to your requirements

[anjalilodha]

I am writing to give a big thank you. I am completing the bag...it was possible only because of you.

[AnoraRice]

so I had this dream about a crocheted tote bag with coral attachments, and I wanted to thank you for making it so easy to make my dream come true! ThANK YOU!

[julies]

I'm taking a break from blankets and working in bags. I think I will give this a try. I have done a couple of different granny square bags and ready for something different.

[Jellie]

I taught myself crochet last summer but have only crocheted plushies. I'm thinking about challenging myself a bit and giving this design a go! Watching you crochet is so oddly satisfying that I think this will go over quite well. Thank you for your time and gift to us! ☺️

[anjalilodha]

Thanks so much, looking at this video, I got inspired and have started a bag to gift my friends daughter who is soon to deliver a baby! Wish me luck so that it gets finished in time.

Just finished making this bag very east instructions to follow, I used soft rope 2-3 mm and I brought two skiens 200 metres on each and I have about a 3rd left off the 2nd skien, a tip for when you get to chain 60 for the handle chain loosely, can't wait to do more of Kristines patterns.
