Welcome back to The Crochet Crowd as well as my friends over yarnspirations.com. I'm your host Mikey.
Today we're going to work on this little lunch bag, and it requires you to have four sets of grommets.
So we have grommets we have 1, 2, 3 and 4.
We need a 5 mm, size 'H' crochet hook and it's recommending a Lilly Sugar'n Cream which is 100% cotton.
You can also use 100% cotton which is Bernat Handicrafter as well.
This is very, very simple as just a one page pattern and we just need to concentrate on making the panels.
So let's talk about that next. So we need to make a total of three panels. We have the front side,
we have the back which is the same as
far as like making sure you do the stitch work and then this piece here just comes down
and across and then back up. So that's a one piece unit.
Then we have to make two handles that are tied and put through the grommets on the other side.
So let me show you what this particular
sample looks like as far as like the flat space and then we're gonna make two of those here on camera.
So here's the main panel and what we're going to do is just back and forth single crochet all the way up and you're
gonna get to 11 inches and this is where this one stops.
The 11 inch mark is where we're gonna apply the,
the holes that we can put the grommets in and then we just finished off a couple rows
afterwards and then it's completely done.
So all I just need to do is get you started here with single crochets and the side gusset
is the same kind of way.
It's just a matter just go doing a bit and then just going back and forth with single crochet.
So let's grab our crochet hook 5 mm, size 'H' with your Lilly Sugar'n Cream.
So let's begin doing the main panel. So the front and the back are both alike.
So you're just gonna make a slipknot and you're going to put that onto your crochet hook and I need you to chain
a total of 27. So 1, 2, 3,
4 and 5 and go all the way to 27 for me and meet me back here in just a moment.
So once you have total of 27 done, of course mine isn't 27. Mine's just a sample
you're gonna go second chain from the hook,
so just 1 and 2,
turn it over and get the back loop of the chain
and I want you to single crochet in the back loop of every one of the chains going across.
Of course, it's a chain. So it always takes a little bit longer
but once you get this pattern started it gets a lot easier.
So just single crochet yourself all the way back across your chain and meet me back here in just a moment.
Once you get to the end of the chain just turn your work and
chain up one and do one single crochet in the same one and
then just do one single crochet in each stitch going all the way across.
That's all this is. So what you need to do is you need to go back and forth to get to 11 inches tall.
What I would highly recommend is that when you do this and before you do the grommets area
I would do both of the panels to 11 inches tall and
uh, it actually will make sure that you get the right stitch count as far as like the row, the rows.
Sometimes when you measure it can be different, right?
So you turn your work, chain one and just single crochet yourself all the way up.
So, please go to 11 inches for me and then meet me back here in just a moment. So here we are.
We got 11 inches tall. So this is the actual sample.
So 11 inches is where it marks and we're gonna be making those spaces for the grommets.
So what we're going to do is that it's just really simple in order to get these to line up properly to each other.
So what we're going to do at this point is that we are going to chain one and
start. So we're just gonna do the first six. So 1 and
this is single crochet for 2,
3,
4,
5 and
6. Now the next one is where the grommet's going to be. So chain one,
skip that one and single crochet the second one over and that will create a little micro hole that you have.
So what I need you to do is just continue to
single crochet yourself across and on the seventh one just before the end. I
want you to place in the other space to do the grommet work later in this particular tutorial.
So when you get closer just count it back so we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, that is just a fluke.
Okay, if that's just a fluke, so now chain one, skip that one and single crochet one after it.
So now you have the micro hole so this one plus it's five more it gives you six. So let's just say this is 2,
3,
4,
5 and
6 and now what I need you to do is working two rows. So turning our work
we're gonna do two rows only and then that's done.
So chain up one and do one single crochet in each one of the stitches going all the way across and
in the chain one space I want you to fill it in with the double, with a single crochet as well.
Which I'll be there in just a moment.
Okay, so here it is
so what I want you to do is go right into the space and single crochet and
then continue on the one after that and what I need you to do is do it with the same with the other one and then
just go across one more time with just single crochet and then fasten off and you're good to go.
So you have to make sure you get two of these done. So I'm now coming to the conclusion of the panel
so you have to make sure you make two of these and
it's good to go and
what we're going to do at this point is that we're just gonna fasten off and we'll leave an extra long tail and we'll
deal with those tails later.
So what I'm going to move on now is to do the gusset area and the gusset is what separates the two panels.
That's what's riding in the middle.
Let me just review again how I did it and then you can do that as well if you prefer and you'll have the perfect
length. So we have two panels
and what I have to do is that I have to put the grommets in the other one so I can do that afterward.
I did a separate tutorial on how to do this and I'm looking at the inside of the grommets.
So this is kinda what the outside looks like that people will see.
So what you have to do now is a gusset. Now
the gusset is chaining of 12 and then single crochet second chain from the hook.
So there's a total 11 single crochets and
now it gives a dimension that you can work towards as far as 33 inches, but sometimes our tension is different.
So what I decided to do is that I started going along and I got pretty close to the end
where it was gonna go down one side and I marked it.
I just laid it down and realized that that the heights match and I put a stitch marker into that spot.
Then I continued along the base
just like you see just no stretching at all
and I laid it out and realized there's the other corner of the base and
then what I just did then is that I worked it all the way to the top and had it marked.
So therefore this gusset actually matches this project. So even if it wasn't 33 inches then the fact is that it will match.
So what I want you to do now is that I want you to do your gusset.
If you want to go for the 33 inches, that's up to you
so a chain on, uh, chain on
12 second, uh,
single crochets second chain from hook.
Just keep on going back and forth and create this and when I come back then we're going to attach our gusset
to the main body. Okay,
so we're gonna attach our gusset to the main, one body and then we're gonna do the same with the other side.
So the attaching actually appears on the outside.
So when you look at it from this perspective
if you've got your grommets in the good side is obvious when it faces out the other side see that it's different?
So what you wanna do is that when you go to attach these you wanna do it in a way that the seam
line will be on the outside of the bag.
So if this is the good side that you see this is the way that you should fold it.
Now because you did single crochet all the way across
just like you see here what's gonna happen is that they're gonna match up to the gusset.
So you're just gonna take your yarn any color that you wish and
you're just going to start off on the one side of the gusset.
Going in and go across
and just attach with a slip stitch.
Okay chain one and then just in the same one just single crochet just to get started.
You're going to advance down one row on
the front which will match to the back of the second one and just
single crochet right over it and you're attaching these together as you're single crocheting.
So no sewing is involved and it gives you a neat looking edge.
So what we're gonna do is that we're gonna do this all the way down and then at the base you're gonna
put in three single crochets and then go across and then at the corner three single crochets and come back up and then you're going
to finish that off turn it over and do the other side and attach the other
piece so that you have your forming of your bag.
So what I've done now is that I've attached one side completely
just like you see I still have to weave in my ends
and then what I have then is that I've attached the second one now using with the stitch markers again
just to make sure that it lines up and now I'm gonna work my way across and
continue to to single crochet them together.
Okay, so I'm just attaching the second piece and I have my yarn strand left over.
Let's review on how to hide in your loose ends. So you're just gonna use a tapestry needle and put your
yarn into it. And what you want to do is that you wanna stay toward the inside of the bag.
So just and just kind of fold it in a way that makes sense and coming down into the fibers
but stay on this side, the inside of the bag and coming down and
pull through when you pull don't warp anything.
So don't make sure that you pull this over the point that it's gonna stretch it in a different way.
Go back in the other direction. This is number two
just stay within the fibers on this side and then continue one more time coming back in the other direction a third time.
You're gonna do that with all of your loose ends back and forth three times
to weave them in. When we come back then we'll start the handles. Okay, so now it's time to do the handles.
So the handles are a total of 16 inches long. You need a total of two of those, one
I have to finish off. So all this is is the round tubular of five stitches going around in a continuous circle.
So there's no slip stitching involved.
Now the photograph shows that the knot is on the outside of the bag.
So it comes from the other side and forces its way through. So you have to decide what you like better.
Would you prefer the knot be on the inside of the bag or would you like it on the outside of the bag like it
shows. You have to make that choice. I'm thinking for myself,
I'm just kinda not being very creative, but I'm actually thinking of keeping it to the inside.
So when I'm ready, all I'm just gonna do is stick my, put my grommets on and then just pull this through and
then just create a knot so don't waste too much of it, create a knot and
then you'll just be able to attach it.
You might be able to push it through too, yeah,
you can.
So you just have to create a knot and make sure that when you go to create the knot you wanna make them both
equal. So probably do them back at the same time.
So let's get you started to show you how to make these and then what, so you'll just have to actually just create a knot,
knot and that will prevent it from falling out. So let's set continue to go along now and make a handle.
So to make a handle I made one that was 16 inches and then I used that as the template for the second one.
So all you just need to do is chain a total of five. So 1, 2,
3, 4 and 5 and simply just go to the very first one and attach it with a slip stitch.
So what I want you to do we're gonna go in a continuous circle. So just chain one and
starting in the first stitch. Let's just count these out so 1,
and go right up over top of that straggler. Let's get rid of that and we're gonna go 2
and 3,
4 and 5
is your last one. So in the fifth one what I want to do
is that when I start the next one, I wanna make sure that it's the fifth month in the hook.
So we'll see count 1,
2, 3, 4, 5. So that's the first one. So the first one there is where I wanna start.
So I'm just gonna single crochet first just to get started and then I'm gonna pop it out the middle
so that it's towards me because it's just easier. So you come to the next stitch available to you and single crochet.
I found myself go easy on the tension here.
If you make it too tight
it's harder to see the stitches and it's harder to get your hook in so keep it nice and loose and
I want you to just continue to circle and circle and circle until you get 16 inches
and then you're going to fasten off at that point.
Every once in a while, I want you to just double check. It's gonna be a continuous tube and it's going to, um,
look consistent. So if it's growing or it's subtracting, you know that you're missing or adding a stitch.
So I've been going right up over top of that straggler. So let me get rid of that and show you something else.
So when you go to check once in a while you wanna make sure that you have five. So you have 1,
let's count this out.
So we have 1, 2
3, 4 and
5 is the next one that I have to go into so you just wanna continually check
once in a while to make sure that you continuously have five.
So you're just gonna work your way in a continuous circle until you get to the length that you want and then I'll see
you there in just a moment.
I've already done it so I don't need to do any more than this, but you just have to keep circling.
It doesn't take long at all and you'll notice that it's gonna grow by the inches right before your very eyes.
So once you get your first one done just measure, make sure that it is 16 inches and then just have your last loop pull It through.
Then take your ending you wanna get rid of it completely so you don't want any evidence of it and just get,
put it onto a tapestry needle and just kinda go into the project
and get rid of it.
So just keep going in and out and it gets it locked into position more and more the more times you go in and out.
So what I would do is do the first one and then use this one as the template for the second one. So that just hold
it up together.
Just make sure that they're both kinda stretched the same kinda way if you, if you are gonna stretch it at all
just to make sure that they're pretty equal.
Then cut and you're done. So do the second one.
So now
what we have to do is that we have to go back and we have to make sure we put the grommets in. So I'm
gonna put you to that tutorial now.
I've already done it and then I've gotta go into the studio put my grommets in and
all you just need to do then is that once you get your grommets in you just want to
tie a knot,
okay, so stay really close to the edge.
Stay really close so when you go to pull this you don't wanna pull too much in the, in the height going up the
stay towards the outside.
There you go.
See and therefore you have a knot and it will never fall out on you
and so you're just gonna do the same to the other side.
Kinda pull it the same kinda distance kinda compare the two
and therefore they're good to go so then your handles are all set.
So that's it for now.
Please do your grommets and your handle and then you're good to go to enjoy your new bag to go.
We'll see you again real soon. Bye. Bye 👋
Welcome back to The Crochet Crowd. I'm your host Mikey. Today I'm going to show you how to place grommets inside your crochet project.
Never done this before and I'm doing a lunch bag where this is required to hold in the handles into the project.
What we have here is a combination of things.
So here is a package of grommets
and when you buy these sometimes they provide the punch and other times they don't. You need the punch
so if that's being sold separately like I picked it up then you'll have to buy that separately on its own and then you just
buy the grommets. Now if you go to JOANN Fabrics and Crafts
usually they have a kit that everything is included for the first time you do it and then you can buy
replacement grommets just like you see. So there are two types of
grommets uh, materials in there. You'll notice one that has a lip that is facing up
just like you see and the other one is more flat.
Okay, this lip one is the good side.
So whenever you're looking at the project
you should be looking at it from this point of view when you're looking at the good side of the project and the other one
being so flat should be the back side of the project.
So without further ado, let's take a crochet project and let's show you an example.
To do any kind of grommet work
you're going to need a hard surface other than a table or something that you don't wanna ruin.
So you'll notice that this is the bottom of the punch. There's a flat side to it
just like you see and then there's a side that has a cupping that you see. So the cupping side should face up
and what you're going to do is the one with the bigger lip is the one that will sit down on top of the cup.
Just like you see and what you're going to do is insert your project over that and then you're going to take the other smaller
one and place it over top and then take the punch itself and then just go down and just give it some light taps with
the hammer. On the top side of this lunch bag
I skipped one stitch and I chained one and I have a little hole.
Now your grommet should be able to fit inside that little hole when you have and there's two of them
and because there's two sides there's gonna be a total of four grommets.
So what I have to do is determine what side is the good side of the project.
I've determined that this side is the side that I wanna see. Therefore
this one here with the lip on it should be the one that is on that side and the other piece should be on the
inside of the bag.
So what I'm going to do is force that one through the hole
so there's a chain one space hole
and just move around the stitches so that you can get it to fit and you will see that it will fit just like there.
Now you're going to take the punch and lay it down on top of the board and you're going to carefully place that down
so that it's inside the punch. You're now gonna grab the other one.
Now the other one has a lip just like you see it should be like a bowl shape.
So the bottom of it really should be facing down. So it's like a bowl.
Okay, and you're going to place that right up over top of the other piece just like you see.
So now what you're going to do is that you are going to take your punch
and put it right on top. So keeping everything nice and firm and now grabbing your hammer you want to tap down on top.
And what I tried to determine was whether it's stuck or not.
and what I have here is that I can see that it's gone down a little bit
but I still have to tap it in a little bit more
and then I'm gonna retest it and
I'm gonna check it and just to make sure
that the interior piece has come through this smaller ring. If you're not sure yet
just keep on tapping until you feel that it's secure.
Once you think you tapped it enough you'll be able to see that the upper lip went over top of the other ring therefore
it's good to go. So all you can just do now is switch to the other one.
So in this case, there's two of them. So again, my good side is the one I want facing out.
So I'm just gonna ply it, apply it
to the chain one space and I just have to move around the fibers in order to do that.
So just get it to go around
and once I can see the ring is exposed all the way through I'm going to again place it down on top of the punch.
Then taking the other one again see the bowl shape itself. You wanna face that down
and then taking your punch,
put your punch on top and then take your hammer and hammer it down.
I'm gonna pick it up and just check it and see if that actually took and if I'm not happy with it I can just
apply it again.
And therefore I have two grommets inside my work for my lunch bag.
