I've been crocheting for over 50 years. I learned from my grandmother. I have been looking for a tote bag with an oval bottom. I just finished watching your tutorial and I have to say this is a phenomenal tutorial. You are a fantastic teacher and very clear with your instructions. I've watched quite a few lately and yours is without doubt the best one. It's a keeper. Im going to start one tomorrow.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed this tutorial. I hope you enjoy making the bag! I'm here if there's anything I can do to help. Thanks again and happy crocheting!
100% agree phenomenal teacher! I also have been crocheting for over 50 years my grandma and my great grandma taught me how to crochet knit and embroidery it served me well!
Best Tutorial. I am helping the stricken poverty women. I am thankful for you Mam. Best teacher. God bless you. I am going to teach these women how to make this bag❤
This is probably one of the best RUclips tutorials I've ever watched, You are so clear and concise, it's mesmorising. Can't wait to make this. I'm getting my supplies tomorrow!
Just completed my bag and I could not be happier!! Only been crocheting for 2 years and this was a SUPER helpful tutorial with very thorough instructions. So glad I stumbled across your page. I'll defiantly be sticking around :)
This is the best tutorial ever! So well done! I’m going to Ollie’s at 10 to get 2 skeins of blue and make a bag to hold all the board books I’ve already bought for my grandson!
Awesome tutorial, taught myself to crochet this past February and this is the best video. I am making my 2nd bag. The 1st I used Likee cord, which I use for baskets because they stand up better, but it is very heavy. This time I'm using regular yarn. As a twist I use two different colors and it makes a fun twisted yarn design. The directions are very good spoken and I appreciate there are printed directions I can pause to do the work. I am not fast a crochet yet.
Thank you very much! That's wonderful that you taught yourself to crochet! I'm glad you found this video and the written instructions helpful. Thanks again and happy crocheting!
This looks like such a fun project and you have answered all of my burning questions. Finally, I feel like I know what I am doing. I am subscribing and looking forward to watching more of your tutorials. Thank you.
You are a very good teacher! Thanks for sharing, I’ve been looking for a good tutorial for a while. Many people do not have a good angle to see the stitches or they just leave you hanging with no direction. GREAT JOB!
This is a great tutorial. You are very clear and provide details that helped me understand what you were doing. you did a wonderful job teaching. This will be the next project I make. Thank you so much!
This is the best tutorial I have ever tried for crocheting in the round. You explain each step so perfectly that it made the construction of the tote very simple
Really great video tutorial. I feel like every other tutorial I have followed I have messed up the stitch count but I am still going strong. Can't wait to see how it turns out! Great pattern and even better teacher!
@@jototheworldcreationsI'm currently on the round 4. I understand you very well, thank you! My only problem is my patience and my hand is hurting. I then realized the effort of every crocheted product I wanted to buy but it's to pricey. I really get it now. 😭 Anyway, thank you so much for this!!!
I’m from Spain and I love this pattern. I’ve already made one in purple and it’s awesome. Thank you very much for sharing with us all your knowledge. Can’t wait to continue with my crochet projects🥰
Hi Just watched your video it's fab I've just subscribed to ur website and bought this bag pattern. Can't wait to make it And then buy more patterns The tutorial is the best by far on RUclips very clear thanks x
Hi Karen! Thank you so much for your comment, for subscribing and for your purchase! I hope you enjoy making this bag. I'm here if there's anything at all I can do to help. Happy crocheting!
Wonderful tutorial video!!! It was so easy to follow along & not get lost. Usually I have to slow the video down to half and repeat certain sections. So blessed to have found you!!! Great bag, definitely going to make this!!! Thank you for sharing your time & talent!!! Blessings & hugs!!!❤❤❤
Thank you for this very informative tutorial of yours. Love love it. I’ve been watching others but I honestly didn’t get it at all. Now I can start with this wonderful bag. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge to us. Love from Germany ❤️
That camerawork was gold and your descriptions are spot on. Thank you so much for this! I'm making mine with a bulkier yarn and I've notice I have 54sc instead of 52 lol. Wonder where I went wrong but I'm pushing through this 😅
Thanks for video it’s a great one easy to follow along with and also I like when you also put pattern on the screen too that helps me get use to seeing patterns ❤😊
Thank you, very very clear with the instructions and how to count the stitches ! Have been having problems when come to the last stitch, slip stitch and the first chain 😅
I’m working on this bag right now and I love it!! My seam isn’t going very straight but it might be because I’m left handed but I’m not to worried about it (:
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad to hear you are loving it! I know you said you're not too worried but I am sorry to hear about the seam. My advice would be to carefully count your stitches. But as long as you love it, that's all that matters! Thanks so much for watching this tutorial.
That's probably the best tutorial I've ever seen of any sort of project ! I'm a begginer and so it helps a lot when instructions are crystal clear and written ... Thank you for your time and efforts put into this video . However, i do have a question...is it necessary to use a double yarn ? I feel like the purpose of it is to make the bag more solid ?
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you find the video helpful. Using two strands of yarn creates a bag that has a thick fabric and is quite dense and sturdy. You are of course welcome to try using only one strand, but the bag will be smaller and perhaps more flimsy. And if you do use just one strand, I just hope you’re not disappointed with the result as the bag really was designed to be made with two strands and I would hate for you not to love your finished bag! Hope you have a wonderful day and happy crocheting!
What a wonderful tutorial, Jo you are such a great teacher, am really loving this bag too and is already in to do crochet 🧶 list, thank you so much for sharing 😅Hasumati from London Uk 👌👌💕🙏🏻
Thank you! My Classic Baby Blanket is made with a stitch that I’m calling the Modified Blanket Stitch because it’s the reverse of the Blanket Stitch. I don’t believe it’s an actual stitch just something I made up. 😀
Totally enjoyed watching the whole tutorial 💗 Everything is so detailed. Thank you so much. Wanted to ask something, what's the quantity for yarn in this project pls let me know, how many grams ?
Love this tutorial! This is my first ever crochet project and its been fun to learn as I go. I'm only running into one issue though. Theres a steep of higher stiches right at the start of each round. The rest seems to be even except for the rise in that area. Is there a way i can even this out? Can I add more chains to the rest of the bag except that area on a couple of the rounds to balance it? Thanks!
Thank you so much! That’s wonderful! It’s really hard for me to provide instructions on this as I’m not sure what is happening. As you can see in the video my bag did not stick up too much so I’m not sure what the issue is and how to correct it unfortunately. What I would recommend is just ensuring that you have the same number of stitches and that you’re following the instructions correctly as one side of the bag shouldn’t be too much higher than the rest of the stitches.
Hello and thank you! Usually, if the seam is not straight, it's due to an incorrect number of stitches in a round. I would recommend ensuring you have the correct number of stitches in each round. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Thanks again.
Should this come out stiff /firm or soft? Started making this beautiful bag. So far mine is soft with a K hook. Same measurements as yours. I’ve made a different bag with same yarn doubled using an I/9 hook and it’s stiff/firm. Wondering, am I on the right track or do I need to make changes? You’re a clear and awesome instructor.
Hello! Perhaps others can chime in as well but my bag was sturdy, yet still flexible. The fabric is quite dense and squishy but still has some movement. Hope that helps.
Your instructions and video I have watched have been incredibly easier for me to understand. My problem is this. I can't tell the difference in stitches I've done. It looks like you leave 2 stitches unworked on every round which are the ch and the (I forget the name of the second). I kept counting the wrong count out and kept ripping out as I wasn't doing that. I also could not tell which row I was in when I looked so I ripped it out and have started over. Can you tell me how to know which round I am in by looking at it? Thank you.
Hi there! Thank you for watching. You can tell how many stitches you have left and how many rounds you have done by counting your single crochet stitches. Hope this helps!
You’re welcome to try! I’ve only made and designed the bag with 2 strands so unfortunately, can’t speak to how it will turn out with just 1 strand of heavier weight yarn.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial, it helps so much. May i know what type of yarn do you use? Because we are in different country so the name of brand may not be the same. Is it from cotton or acrylic? Thank you❤
Hi! I wish I could help and of course, you are welcome to try, I unfortunately can’t tell you what hook to use or any other advice as I’ve only designed, made and tested this bag using two strands.
Hello! I'm not sure which round you are referring to. Perhaps referencing the step-by-step written instructions along with following the video tutorial might help: jototheworld.com/crochet-tote-bag
I'm confused with the yarn, what type of yarn is that and what ply? Please tell me exactly I'm not used with the yards and also can I use the Milk cotton yarn? Hope you can answer it. I really wanted to make a bag for my laptop. Thank you
Hello! I use the standard yarn weight system, developed by the Craft Yarn Council for describing the yarn weight I use. You can read about the yarn weight and exact brand I've used in this pattern by following this link (under Materials - Yarn): jototheworld.com/crochet-tote-bag. Here is more information on yarn weights and types: jototheworld.com/yarn-weights-and-types-chart. You can use this yarn weight calculator if you need to know the amount in a different measurement: jototheworld.com/yarn-weight-calculator All my patterns are designed and tested with the yarn weight and type that are listed in the pattern. You are welcome to try something else but the size, overall look and feel of your finished item as well as the amount of yarn required may be different. Hope this helps!

Hello love your bag, but my seam didn’t land on the side evenly. It kept moving along the row. Could you tell me why.
Hello and thank you! Usually, if the seam is not straight, it's due to an incorrect number of stitches in a round. I would recommend ensuring you have the correct number of stitches in each round. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Thanks again.
Should this come out stiff /firm or soft?
Started making this beautiful bag. So far mine is soft with a K hook. Same measurements as yours. I’ve made a different bag with same yarn doubled using an I/9 hook and it’s stiff/firm. Wondering, am I on the right track or do I need to make changes? You’re a clear and awesome instructor.
Hello! Perhaps others can chime in as well but my bag was sturdy, yet still flexible. The fabric is quite dense and squishy but still has some movement. Hope that helps.
I’m using Loops & Threads Impeccable acrylic. Perhaps I need to switch to the Pound of Love that you used in your pattern.
Your instructions and video I have watched have been incredibly easier for me to understand. My problem is this. I can't tell the difference in stitches I've done. It looks like you leave 2 stitches unworked on every round which are the ch and the (I forget the name of the second). I kept counting the wrong count out and kept ripping out as I wasn't doing that.

Hi there! Thank you for watching. You can tell how many stitches you have left and how many rounds you have done by counting your single crochet stitches. Hope this helps!
Instead of using 2 strands of yarn, can you use 1 strand of a heavier weighted yarn?
You’re welcome to try! I’ve only made and designed the bag with 2 strands so unfortunately, can’t speak to how it will turn out with just 1 strand of heavier weight yarn.
Hey can you let me know how yours turned out with the heavier yarn? I'm thinking about using 1 strand of a nylon yarn to make mine.
Thankyou ❤
Thanks for watching!
I love this bag! Great video! Is it possible to make this a little bigger?
Thank you! I really wish I could help but I’ve only designed and made the bag to be the size that it is.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial, it helps so much. May i know what type of yarn do you use? Because we are in different country so the name of brand may not be the same. Is it from cotton or acrylic? Thank you❤
Hello! All the yarn details can be found here: jototheworld.com/crochet-tote-bag
Hello, this bag is absolutely beautiful! I was wondering..do I have to use two skeins of yarn together or would it work with one as well?
Thank you! You’re welcome to try! I have only designed, made and tested it with two strands.
@@jototheworldcreations Thank you so much!!
Do you have to use 2 pieces of yarn together? I'm using a multicolored yarn.
I really wish I could help but I’ve only designed, made and tested the pattern using 2 strands of yarn held together.
Hi you really do a Beautiful job keep up the good work ok I wish I can do like you can do love Lorilee
Thank you very much! You can absolutely do it! I'm here if there's anything at all I can do to help.
Can i follow this tutorial if i just use one strand instead of two? What are the things i should take care of, or what will be different than yours?
Hi! I wish I could help and of course, you are welcome to try, I unfortunately can’t tell you what hook to use or any other advice as I’ve only designed, made and tested this bag using two strands.

Thank you! 💕
I'm confused. Did you continue stitching after round 3 or different make and attach?
Hello! I'm not sure which round you are referring to. Perhaps referencing the step-by-step written instructions along with following the video tutorial might help: jototheworld.com/crochet-tote-bag
I'm confused with the yarn, what type of yarn is that and what ply? Please tell me exactly I'm not used with the yards and also can I use the Milk cotton yarn? Hope you can answer it. I really wanted to make a bag for my laptop. Thank you
Hello! I use the standard yarn weight system, developed by the Craft Yarn Council for describing the yarn weight I use. You can read about the yarn weight and exact brand I've used in this pattern by following this link (under Materials - Yarn): jototheworld.com/crochet-tote-bag. Here is more information on yarn weights and types: jototheworld.com/yarn-weights-and-types-chart. You can use this yarn weight calculator if you need to know the amount in a different measurement: jototheworld.com/yarn-weight-calculator
All my patterns are designed and tested with the yarn weight and type that are listed in the pattern. You are welcome to try something else but the size, overall look and feel of your finished item as well as the amount of yarn required may be different. Hope this helps!
Beautiful
Thank you!
I’m a visual learner and can’t understand patterns.
How many mm is your hook that you use please. Thank you 🙏 😊
Hello! It’s K/10.5 (6.50 mm)
Can I use less chains instead of 35? I want something smaller. Thank you.
I really wish I could help but I’ve only designed, made and tested the pattern with the specific size listed in the pattern.
Also, would you line a bag like this with hand sewing so no ink pens or anything small fits through the bottom?
You are welcome to! I didn’t for mine so I can’t speak to the result or how to do that for this pattern.
