    Beautiful bag. Just watch out for the edging inst

    I ran into what Leland is describing. The problem is with the edging on the motif. It cannot be done as instructed. I had to choose to either work in the opposite direction from what the instructions indicated or take Leland's advice and use a crab stitch. I chose to go the crab stitch route. I added the edging with a crab stitch in the first loop only around the motif. It's turning out lovely. But for newbie like me, it's a lot of work. It's a beautiful design and color scheme. It's my first time making a bag and my first time using Bernat Maker yarn. I found the look of this bag irresistible. The yarn is a dream to work with.

    NO GO TOTE

    I am an experience crocheter and find this pattern confusing. The motif portion is easy; the trim and side seam instruction becomes dificult to follow...for example, when crocheting the trim, with the piece facing you, the only way to make it happen is with a crab stitch, which is not indicated in the pattern. I am ad libbing now as I don't think the directions have been tech reviewed nor sample crocheted; that's a shame. I cannot recommend this for others.

    • We appreciate that you took the time to share your experiences with the Carry on Tote Bag. We recognize that every pattern isn't for every maker, and are happy to address any specific issues you encountered. As you work the top section, you will be working around the top perimeter. As such, you will work in a clockwise direction and can do a standard sc. I hope this additional explanation helps. If this is not the section you are referring to and would like some additional clarification on your issue, please let us know. We're happy to look into it further.

    Newbie question: should this bag be blocked? I don't know if Bernat Maker yarn should be blocked.
