YouTube tutorial video: s by August Craft & Crochet

Very interesting pattern making the bag’s bottom and sides first.

My puff st = 3dctog

For the sides, I worked into the stitches, not the spaces.
I held two strands together of the Omega Sinfonia yarn. I was afraid I’d run out of it, so I made the squares with white instead. Turns out I would have had plenty.

see 20:39s for how to join sides and bag.
see 24:17s where to join for sc around top after turning RS out.
see 27:18s chain length should be more than double the width of the flat bag. She indicates 100cm, but mine was longer. This chain feeds through the stitches
see 34:18s for very cool cord for the long handle

Also used parts of this video by Merve Inan (merveozhaninan on IG)

Still need to secure handles.

For next time, if there is a next time, here’s a smaller version tutorial Part 1 video and Part 2 video. It’s in Korean, but I’m able to auto translate it to English subtitles.
I believe the designer’s name is silloeroom, on Ravelry she’s Yang Hyojin or silloeroom Ravelry store.
