Crochet Stylish Shopper Bag with Japanese knot

This bag is super simple but I love it because it uses Japanese knot bag technique so you can sort of lock it easily 👍.
I used barbante cotton 3mm but you can use jute, raphia, cotton, cord and etc. The bag can be crocheted big or small. Keep in mind that if you want a bigger size, it's better to use 2 mm yarn so the total weight is not so heavy.
The diameter of bottom is 30 cm, the height is 36cm.
Total number of stitches - 142
For each handle I used 25 stitch and 42 stitches between the handles. For one handle I chained 25 and for 2nd handle I chained 40.
Crochet 5, 6 rows of handles

Sometimes the video was off camera and doing the bottom increase was confusing, also when do I stop increasing❓?❓?❓?❓ It was also confusing on how to complete the handle and changing yarn color. Please remake this video, because I love this bag. Thanks

[@kimcraft]

Sorry for your inconvenience
1) you can keep making increase until desired size.
Here is another tutorial of the same bag but different yarn:

Beautiful bag, How do you get 142 stitches? I follow the chart and only had 96 stitches.. Please help.. tqtq

[@kimcraft]

I continue to make inc even after I had 96 stitches

[@user-xm3ee9xc3g]

Hey . What is the distance in centimeters under your handle? I knit with a 2 cm cord different from yours. help me with the calculations please

[@kimcraft]

Hi! Sorry I don't remember exactly that distance. You can chain the longest around 45 cm and the short one around 20 cm. I hope this can help😍

[@zoeong7744]

Hi, can I know which size of hook u have change to crochet e handle..? Size 5mm..?

[@kimcraft]

Yes, 5 mm suites well

[@user-vk2lo9rg7e]

hello! will this bag stretch or not?

[@kimcraft]

Hi thx for your comment. It depends on the material, acrilic could be, but cotton no.

[@viniciusrock3140]

Hi if I need one handle longer than the other how do I make that..

[@kimcraft]

Hi! I made separate video how to crochet a handle

[@sonias1love]

Is this cotton yarn and what size hook are you using?

[@kimcraft]

Yes, it is cotton. I used 3.5 mm and 5 mm hooks. But I would use just 4.5 if I had for my thickness of yarn

[@sonias1love]

@@kimcraft - thanks for the info

[@christianeinder8519]

What is the recommended yarn to make this bag?

[@kimcraft]

You can use cotton, jute, polyester rope, rafia🥰

[@serenayeoh6729]

Hi can i check with you, do i have to keep increasing? after your video on row 8, does it mean i go up next number, then increase 1, then the next row increase 1 then the following required numbers?

[@kimcraft]

Yes, exactly keep increasing until the bottom is 30- 35 cm or any desired size

[@serenayeoh6729]

@@kimcraft as i go with the next round for example, 1 increase, 9 single crochet, towards the end, i only can end with 5 or 6 single...did i do anything wrong before or can i continue?

[@Lin-nw7ic]

How much yarn do you need for this bag?

[@kimcraft]

You need around 300 gr

[@Lin-nw7ic]

Thank you

[@Lin-nw7ic]

The 1st handle you made were 25ch, and how much chain for the 2nd handle? Should they be the same amount or the other one is longer?

[@zoeong7744]

Beautiful 😍 can know what size of crochet hook u are using each time?

[@kimcraft]

Thank you for barbante you can use from 3.5 to 5mm hook. When I want softer bags I use 5mm snd when I want more shaped I use 3.5 mm

[@zoeong7744]

Thank you for your advice. Can I know after we get 96 stitches how am I going to start from the next row? Possible for u to provide us for the diagram for that easier for us to complete?🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️

[@zoeong7744]

Hi, can I check that is it I should keep increasing till the TOP of the bag & stop increasing when I start to do the handles?

[@nicong8050]

Hi .very nice bag .i like it .how if wanna crochet smaller than this

[@kimcraft]

Yes, just make a smaller bottom ( circle)
