I bought 2 cakes of this retwist chainy cotton about a year or so ago just cause I liked the look of it, but when it came to using it for a project I didn't have a clue what to make
Thanks to you sharing your wonderful talent I now know what I can make with it, I do struggle with ideas of what to make, I only started crocheting about a year or so ago and I'm still struggling with reading patterns so having channels like this is, in my opinion priceless
Oh Ginnie, I'm so glad you found my video that has inspired you, good luck and have fun. Anja x
Is there a written pattern to have also
Beautiful bag to carry a WIP or to use during a weekend getaway. Love it!!!
It was so easy with your instructions for the bag and I finished in 1 day...thank you
Wow, well done Susanne, thank you very much, Anja x
Thankyou. I've been wanting to make myself a bag and am unsatisfied with the one I made. I see you as my teacher and inspiration and hope one day to be at your level.
😍VERY SWEET, PRACTICAL, GIFTABLE, RESIZEABLE, AND BEAUTIFUL!
I love how this project bag turned out to be so beautiful. The colors are so refreshing. This will be my next project. Thanks for the tutorial, Anja.
Making another one. Received the yarn today. My sister requested a slightly bigger bag, so I added one more round and shoulder straps. so thanks to your Laurel bag, I can attach staps. Thank you again, Anja!
Sounds great Josephine! Enjoy your crochet time, Anja x
I’ve been sad lately and I want to make this bag I know the colors are cheering me up already 🧶💕
This is exactly what I was wanting for my yarn fairy bag! I wanted a oval base with half double crochet (my favorite stitch). I love that in the back loop round you had us do it in the back loop and third loop! I never knew that. Thank you so much for your time and energy making this tutorial. I will be doing my handles differently and I’m using all kinds of fun yarn so mine will look totally different, lol. 😀
You are so welcome, I'd love to see what you make if you're part of the OT group, please post a picture or 2! Anja x
I have done this bag with multiple different yarn sizes and it looks amazing everytime 🙌🏻 thank you so much for the tutorial 💕
You’re welcome 😊, well done and I'm so glad you're happy with the results, Anja x
That'll have to be my next project. I'm making a basket to put hide my modem. I used the idea from your last bag. Leaving a slit opening in the back for the cables. Almost done. It's all holding up well and allows for ventilation. I love learning and getting ideas from you.
I love this bag! Funny I respond to your question.... No... Yes... ! Hahaha. Thank you Anja for this tutorial.
I've used this yarn quite a few times to make bags for my granddaughter
I have learned so much in this tutorial! I know I will be able to make this and have it not look weird.
Thank you for being g such a great teacher! ❤
Yay! I finally finished... I have a few WIPs. I used 3 weight yarn in my stash (which I have a variety of brands and weights but one skein only that I need to use up) and decided to line the bag with left over cotton fabric for support.. Loved the tassel so I added one as well. I really liked how it worked out. Thank you so much, Anja for this tutorial!
You're so welcome Josephine, glad you enjoyed it, Anja x
l love how you explain projects
This project bag is absolutely fabulous! Your instructions were so perfect, both in explanation and visually, and this bag is definitely going onto my to-do list. I also adore the colour change of this yarn.
You are so welcome! Anja x
Beautiful bag Anja and I just love how those colours blend 💕
Omg this gorgeous💓🧶👛 !!!
Anja I cannot wait to start on my bag. Thanks so much!!!!!!!
These colors are beautiful!

Wonderful tutorial Anja thank you. Have a lovely day! 💗💐🧶
Awesome tutorial, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Anja x
Anja, I want to tell you the nice crochet bag with lots of pockets I ordered from you came yesterday. A gorgeous color bag it was in too!!! I, unfortunately, take tons of pills daily and that bag is perfect for me!! I love the green color too. Thank you so much and I do believe I will order another for my crocheting. Have a lovely evening. Sharon
Wonderful tutorial, thank you so much 🙂
I love this bag. Can't wait too make this !
Gorgeous colors
A very beautiful chice of colour
I just love it! This bag is so beautiful! I can’t wait to make one! Thank you so much, Anya! 💕
Hi Camy, yes it's lovely to make too, simple design but very sophisticated look, Anja x
Beautiful
Thank you so much Joyce, Anja x
Great project!👍🤩
Can you make another bag with this yarn maybe crossbody for the summer coming soon🙏🌤🏵🌻🌞
Great idea! I'll put it on the list, Anja x
Yes please 🙃🥰
I Love it and Definitely ordering the Yarn. I Live Cotton Blends🧶🪡
As always lovely work 🥰 thanks for the tutorial Anja, bye💋💚🐈🌺💙🌷🌼🌻
Can’t wait to make this . Your instructions are very clear❤️
I loved making this bag ❤️
Beautiful bag! Thank you! 🧶👏🏻❤️
Very nice bag but a stitch count would be SO helpful. Some parts of the video make it difficult to see how many stitches you're putting in one stitch.
Love the bag and the tutorial! Now if I can just manage the stitch markers 🥰
Such a beautiful bag , love it
Oh gosh I love this! ❤️
This is so lovely. Thank you for the tutorial. 💖✨️💖😍
You are so welcome TheMakersCrafts! Thank you, Anja x
This is beautiful. Just be ordered my yarn.
Very beautiful .....I like it so much
wow !!👌
Lovely bag! Will definitely be making
I love the oval bottom on your bags! I have my yarn picked out and can’t wait to get started. 💗🧶
That cotton yarn doesn't look splitty as some cotton yarns do. It's chainette yarn. Well it is just so pretty 😊
I can’t wait to try this! Still working on my reading shawl though!!
Not to worry, you'll fit it in, thank you Kelli, Anja x
Thank you 🌺
Absolutely gorgeous … I have to make this!😍
Loved it...
Thank you so much Louisa, Anja x
Ok so totally different use case, but I'm going to make this and use it as a case for my Steam Deck (gaming console, massive thing with an even more massive case - and there's none that suit my needs for sale anywhere, so I might as well crochet one 😅). I'll try to adapt the stitch count for t-shirt yarn, so it's sturdy.
I really needed help figuring out how to do the oval base and the transition from base to sides, that was super helpful!
Sounds interesting FaerieDust, enjoy your crochet time, Anja x
The Retwisst yarn is great but I played hell finding the center pull end of the yarn.
It happens sometimes Dianne, Anja x
So oretty 😊
Esta hermosa, que material puedo usar para hacerla.
Great video! Just wondering about the seam, is it supposed to be straight? My seam is not, am I doing something wrong?
Very very beautifull bag..... I like it so much.... How the pattern if I want to make the bigger bag? Thanks.
I love this bag. Unfortunately, that yarn would be quite expensive in the States. Can you please tell me the approximate weight so that I can find a substitute? Your projects are always lovely!
It is a 3 weight/light worsted/DK, lm using my trusty 3.5mm hook. Anja x
An excellent video. Including the total number of stitches at the end of each round would be helpful. At 15:30 you state "put the stitch marker in the second stitch" perhaps "put stitch market in the last stitch you just made." At 22:24 you state "and another one in the next stitch" while placing two hdc (increase) which could cause confusion if a viewer is listening not watching. Hope this helps.
Hi Norelle, your comments are noted, thank you, Anja x
Question, I notice when I join with a slip stitch and start a new row, my starting place slowly moves and it creates a diagonal seam. It seemed that your bag had this type of seam? So is that a "normal" process of joining the ends of the rounds with slip stitches? 🤔
Some people have straight seams and I cannot figure out what I'm doing "wrong."
There is an art to keeping your seam straight, I will do a short tutorial on it soon, hope this helps. Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks Thanks Anja!! Appreciate it!!
I am facing the exact same issue and cant seem to fix this diagonal seam. I am looking forward to the tutorial !
Hello Dear🥰I love this. Just one question can I make this bag much larger? If so can you tell me how please ♥️Thank so much
You just need to increase the starting chain to make the bag as big as you wish Deedee, it's quite simple really. Thank you, and enjoy, Anja x
I love the bag. I am making one but a little bit larger for a beach bag. I was just wondering how many rows of hdc’s did you do.
If you're making it larger, do as many rows as you like the look of, it's personal preference, Anja x
Hi Anja, I am new to crocheting and find this video very helpful! I have completed the bottom oval of the bag, but since I am only using one color and my yarn does not change colors I wanted to spice it up a bit more. What beginner/intermediate stitch would you recommend using instead to make it look more unique? (since I am unfamiliar wih many of the different types) Thanks!
Hi Sophie, for a beginner, try mixing up your basic stitches, you have an arsenal of inspiration in the basics, try a row of DCs, HDCs, TRs, then go back to the DCs etc. But be aware of your gaps in like the TR, I'd put them at the top of the bag. Anja x
Hello Ophelia.. Really love to watch your videos as its very inspiring. Even though I have been crocheting for quite a while..I still lack knowledge in this field...especially when it comes to yarn selection. I would love to do this bag with a longer handle..My only question here is, can I use 100% acrylic yarn for this project as I have whole lot of them and I do not want to waste money on yarn cakes for the time being till I finish off with the acrylic yarn stash that I have accumulated. Please help 😮💨
Yes of course you can use acrylic, you can use whatever you wish, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks Wow. That was a quick and positive reply..😍..thank you soo much 🤗
When are
you starting CAL jam blanket???
Hi Kim, on my channel I have videos introducing the CAL and giving you all the details, enjoy, Anja x
How much yarn does it take to make a bag.?
Is there a written pattern? I've gone to Ravelry but there isn't anything there. Thank you for the nice video, been following for several years now and what you make is inspiring. 😄
Hi, not all my projects have written patterns, but ones that do have you can find on my webshop here www.opheliatalkscrochet.com/ophelia-talks-crochet-patterns thank you for watching, Anja x
I have never in my life struggled to make something..this is so frustrating! It's a beautiful bag and I can follow along pretty good but without a stitch count I had to keep pulling out and trying to figure out where I went wrong...it would of been so much easier if there was a stitch count!! After each round. I gave up on it..even with the stitch markers either she was off or I was..off not trying to be mean but if you don't give a stitch count and on the last round of the bottom went off camera and came back there's no way of knowing those last few stitches..and what was done on one side was different on the other 🤷🏻♀️ on the last round..hopefully I will get it finished..
So sorry you feel so frustrated, but I really don"t see the problem, make sure you have your stitches for your increases on your base, and once you start your sides, make sure you place one stitch on top of another, I really do not go off camera to do something different there! I continued as I was, there is no fiddling on my part to make things work out, and if you miss one stitch, it is not the end of the world! Life is too short to worry about things like that! Have fun creating. Anja x
This is such a lovely bag! I live in the US, and cannot find any reference to this yarn in my usual shops. Coukd you suggest someplace that ships internationally, or a substitute yarn that I could search for as an alternative? Thank you!
Yes of course! We are now selling this yarn on our website, details below the video in the description box, and we do international shipping too, please have a look, our rates are very reasonable, Anja x
Stitch markers.. where can I find those kind.. I've been looking for good ones and these are perfect
I buy mine from Hiya Hiya, I might get them into my website soon, Anja x
Live in USA. Don’t have access to your yarn. What other yarn do you suggest?
I absolutely love this bag. I am currently working on my 3rd one. However I can’t seem to get the slip stitch seam to be straight. Am I doing something wrong?
No shamababes1, it's difficult to keep the seam straight, mine also goes on a wander, I just don't show it!!
Thank you, Anja x
Hello again , if i want to increase the base further, so will i do ,3 single half dc & and 1 double half dc in the 5th row, same for the 6th row ,4 single 5th one double?
Sorry for the late reply, yes that’s correct! Anja x
Where is the best place to buy the yarn to make this bag? How much yarn does it take per bag?
Answered your other comment Maggi, Anja x
Would it be possible to make the handles longer?
Yes Linfox7828, you just make the chains longer, simple. Thank you, Anja x
Where would you buy the yarn for the bag?
Hi Maggi, this takes one cake of yarn and you can, if you wish, purchase it from my website, l'll put the link below, Anja x

I'm from Australia and just starting out.. can anyone tell me what thickness is the yarn? I only know by Ply.
Hi Amira, this doesn't have a ply as such, but it's classed as a double knitting yarn, using a 4mm hook, it's the next one up to a 4 ply, I hope this helps, Anja x
Is there a written pattern? Thanks 😊
No, sorry, not all my tutorials have written instructions, the rest are the videos, Anja x
🤗🥰👏🌺👍🙏
Where can I buy the pattern?
Sorry Deb, not all my tutorials have written instructions, the rest are the videos, Anja x
what is the length of your chain?
I can’t remember, I started with 28 chains, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks Ok , pretty bag 😍 😍, Thank you so much for the thorough instructions!!
Where can I get this pattern
Sorry sewlittle1, most of my tutorials are just that, video tutorials, you will find patterns in my web shop, but not for everything I have designed. Thank you, Anja x
hello, can you tell me how many grams of your yarn? My Grandma asked me to make this bag.
I used the whole cake!
how many grams is that?
I will tell my grandmother how many grams she should buy
@@h4anhan51 one cake is 250 g and 250 m
thank you very much, I will tell my grandmother. by the way, your response is very fast
You need to correct the video please. You initially said to put 2HDC IN EACH stitch between the half-circle stitch markers. But then at end of round 3, you said the pattern was 1HDC, 1HDC in next, and THEN 2HDC into the 3rd stitch and started repeating that pattern. I now have to rip out and start over. Wish there were written directions because this change half way through is frustrating.
The video is correct as the increase for a circle (here half a circle) changes in each round, so do the increases as instructed in the video and you should be fine. Good luck
