01 Star

[All in Brown]
Magic loop

m.p = Mini Picot
ch 2, slst 1 into the back loop of the 2nd ch from the hook.

Working into the magic loop, [sc, m.p] x 5 times (5 + 5 points)

Slst into first sc made, cut and pull through. Hide the end into the star using an invisible end but leave a long enough end to sew onto the bag.

You can also cut felt into a star shape and hot glue it onto the bag instead.

02 Bag

[All in Yellow]
Magic Loop

Rnd 1: sc 6 in the magic loop (6)

Rnd 2: inc in each st (12)

Rnd 3: [sc 1, inc] repeat 6 times (18)

Rnds 4-6: sc in each st (18 x 3)

Rnd 7: [sc 4, invdec] repeat 3 times (15)

Rnd 8: sc 5, ch 1, skip 1 st, sc 1, ch 1, skip 1 st, sc 7 (15)

Rnd 9: working into the FLO of the sts and in the ch spaces, sc 1, hdc 14 (15)

sc 1, slst 1, cut the yarn and pull through. Hide the end.

Sew the star on the front with the two holes from the chs just above the star. Stuff fully.

Using a thread of Red yarn (preferably slightly thicker) go through both holes made in Rnd 8. Tie a knot like you would your shoes. Make sure it’s pulled tight.

  1. man, i absolutely love these tutorials and how you teach things. but i’m having such a hard time following along and learning because i am left handed. is there any possibility you could have separate mirrored videos too? that’s probably asking a lot but i am so interested in learning how to do this and i haven’t found any other person i like learning from with patterns and things that i’m interested in learning about. i’m sure there are many others in the same boat

    • I’m left-handed too and I generally just study the pattern instructions so I understand how the row/round should look, then do it left-handed. As long as you have the stitches in the right place, your pieces should turn out just fine. I would start by first watching left-handed videos on how to execute the different stitches and make sure you have the basics down, then transfer that knowledge to other patterns. I hope this helps!
