Great tutorial for beginners/ anyone. I’ve only been crocheting for 3 months now and I didn’t have any trouble understanding. The only thing I did differently was I added a shell boarder to the top. ❤❤ thank you for taking the time to share this and being so descriptive!
Im a 32 yr old left handed man. Ive spent the last few days learning the stitches. All her videos are great. And her voice is so soothing. Lol just a heads up. She has tutorials for leftys. I didnt realize and now its too late i just crochet righty now.
I’ve cracked it thank you so much, finally….I was adding a double crochet x2 at the end of each row and mine resembled a small boat shape, my stitch count was 54; 😂 😂 😂 I have watched, watched then watched again and finally yippeeeee a phone case and a glasses case fabulous, love your tutorials, your knowledge is so valuable. Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m a newbie, (4 months) I’m amazed with perseverance, once it clicks crochet-ing is quite easy, just count, always count, always stitch mark and you are away. Good luck to all the newbies, you will do it, you will get there and when you do, you’ll be so proud of yourself and might even say A woohoo I’ve got it! 🎉 xxxx
I've been making these forever. I also made all kinds of handbags cellphone bags I've ALWAYS made these things I can't believe I've been making something bella cocca makes. WOW pretty neat. Love this
So adorable! Throughout the entire tutorial I was thinking how nice it would be to double the size for a purse. Then you show the marketplace bag at the end, perfect!! I think these would be really cute in multi color and ombre yarns. Thanks for the video!
I absolutely love your videos I love how you are very specific and show exactly where to go I have been crocheting and I had stopped but you help me get back on track
Hello Sarah Jane, I really love this design and made a smaller version as a gift bag for a bar of soap. Absolutely 🤗 smashing. The video made it so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your designs xxx
I hope you got your yarn, hooks and stitch markers, I’m new, I found it much easier to learn with a 5mm hook and 100% cotton yarn. (A light coloured yarn too, Just a tip) xx
Love the yarn! Thank you for showing these techniques, Sarah-Jayne. I want to make one of these, it will make it easy for me to carry little things like lipstick and a few coins when I don't want to carry my purse.
Hi there, I was wondering if you have ever made a crib dipper bag? It is a bag that holds the diapers and it hooks to the side of the crib. If not I was wondering if you would be willing to make one and show us how it is done. Thank you for taking your time and sharing your talent with us
This is not something I have ever made, I will certainly put this on my list of possible future tutorials however it is not something that I am able to do at the moment due to other commitments :)
Hi Sarah-Jayne. This is really cute! Wonderful idea and very versatile! For the most part the seams in crochet drive me a little nuts but in this case, I think it adds a very pretty design element! It gives it that extra flair! Thanks for another great tutorial!!💕
Hi! I love your videos so muce there'y so easy to follow!! Sometimes i crochet while listening to one of your videos. But i just asking if you can make a plain/normal tote bag??
You're welcome 😊 To make a larger version of this I would recommend simply using a larger hook size and/or thicker yarn - you can even hold two strands of yarn double. This way you can follow the pattern as written, with no need to adjust.
Hi I have a question! For round 24, by the time I’m at the final C3 space, the space before that I put 2 double crochets. Is it supposed to be 1 double crochet by that point? I’ve restarted round 24 many times now and I always end up with having 2 double crochets for the last 2 spaces!
For round 24 you should be working *2 dc in the chain 3 space, 1 dc in the next stitch* around, ending with working two double crochets in the final chain 3 space. It might be worth going back over the earlier rounds to check your stitch count and make sure you have the correct number of chain space. You can find the written instructions on my blog here to help you: blog.bellacococrochet.com/crochet-pouch/ 😊
For round 27 is the repeat, 4 x half treble, skip 1 and then 6 half treble or just 4 half treble, skip 1 and 4 half treble skip 1 until you get back to the beginning? Therefore only 1 lot of 6 half trebles on the round? Thanks 😊
If you pop over to my blog you can find the full written instructions: bellacococrochet.com/crochet-pouch/? but yes, there is just one lot of six half trebles, the rest are sets of four 😊
@@bellacococrochet thank you for the reply. I've managed to get my head around it, not sure what I did wrong the first time but ended up with too many holes, thank you for the pattern link x
Hello I started crocheting a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been having a little bit of trouble with my Amigurumi project 😅 I am currently crocheting with two colored yarns (an orange one and a white one) and I was only working using the single crochet technique and hiding the other colored yarn behind my work, but I now have to do an invisible decrease and I was wondering how am I supposed to hide this yarn ? Thank you very much !
You don’t say what method you’re using to hide the yarn (whether you’re working over it or simply holding it to the back of your work), but while you make the decrease I would simply hold the other colour to the back and then begin to work over it once you’ve completed the stitch. If you give it a gentle pull you should find it’s not noticeable 😊
@@bellacococrochet Hello ! I’m sorry I don’t think I quite understood your response I’m new to crocheting 😅 but I was holding the yarn behind the back of my work when single crocheting and I still don’t really understand how to do the invisible decrease. I was wondering if I should yarn over the colored yarn first and then make the stitch or do I yarn it over during the stitch or what do I need to do ? Thank you 😊
Hi Sarah-Jayne! I’m using my iPad to do this and(maybe it’s just because I’m a kid, but) I can’t seem to find the description box anywhere! Honestly, it’s driving me nuts because I love the materials you use in your videos, but I can’t find them anywhere!😢
To make it bigger you can work more of the mesh rows to increase the height; it doesn’t need to be any number in particular 😊 You could also increase your hook size to make the whole bag bigger.
If it’s getting smaller as you go it sounds like you’re skipping a stitch somewhere along the way; make sure you have the correct number of stitches - you can find the written instructions over on my blog to help you: blog.bellacococrochet.com/crochet-pouch/ 😊
Okay so I've finished this after a lot of trial and error... But it isn't coming out straight...I've counted the stitches over and over again and they all seem to be correct but the bag is coming out wonky (the mesh part)...Any idea why?
If you haven’t already then I’d check against the written instructions over on my blog here: blog.bellacococrochet.com/crochet-pouch/ to make sure you’ve followed all of the pattern correctly. If you’re sure that everything is right I’d suggest blocking your bag to see if that helps 😊
Can anyone help? As I go along from rows 11-24 it just keeps getting smaller and I’m not too sure why I might be missing a stitch but I don’t know which one?? 😢😢
When you reach the end of the round, make sure that you’re chaining three before joining with a slip stitch to the slip stitch at the beginning; if you miss this, you’ll be a chain space short and your bag will get smaller each round 😊
It will look like an oval at first but you should find that as you work more rounds that it begins to fold in on itself to look like the bottom of the pouch 😊
On the final chain toward the end of video, you said do a double crochet in the spine, but you actually were demonstrating a single crochet, not a double crochet!!
Can you PLEASE actually show the positions and unblock the yarn with your hand for some shots? I got very lost at the rotation part because your hand was in the way showing the stitches when what I need to see was how you rotated it and where the end yarn was. Idk as a beginner I found this kind of hard to follow…

Glad you like it :)
It's like you read my mind! I was literally planning to look up some patterns for something exactly like this! Ty!

This is a cute little bag. You could use it as a soap sack too. Great project. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻💜

I used Paintbox Simply Aran in Blush Pink :)
How can I double the size of this pouch, as I have a zfold4 mobile?
Can i add more rows to make it bigger? How many rows should i add to make it even?
To make it bigger you can work more of the mesh rows to increase the height; it doesn’t need to be any number in particular 😊 You could also increase your hook size to make the whole bag bigger.
@@bellacococrochet thank you so much for your response 😊
Hi! I just would like to ask how much yarn I need for this?
You can find all the information you need regarding this on my blog at bellacococrochet.com :)
@@bellacococrochet thank you so much... :)
Mine is closing in as I go up and getting smaller in the opening. Do you know what I’m doing wrong?
If it’s getting smaller as you go it sounds like you’re skipping a stitch somewhere along the way; make sure you have the correct number of stitches - you can find the written instructions over on my blog to help you: blog.bellacococrochet.com/crochet-pouch/ 😊

❤❤❤❤❤
Like why did you CUT when you rotated…I needed to see that 🥲
Where can this be bought ?
(Yarn)
The yarn can be purchased from Lovecrafts :)
How big is it ???
Mine was 20 cm but this will depend on the type of yarn you use and your personal tension :)
I dont understand my round 2 - 7 first looks like just a oval 😢😢
It will look like an oval at first but you should find that as you work more rounds that it begins to fold in on itself to look like the bottom of the pouch 😊
On the final chain toward the end of video, you said do a double crochet in the spine, but you actually were demonstrating a single crochet, not a double crochet!!
I work in UK terms so a UK double is a US single, it's the same stitch just different terminology :)
