Still in the making of the pouch and so far I love it and it was also very easy to follow. But now I am Not very sure about assembling the zipper. Are there and Video Tutorials or further Tipps?
Hi Christine! Thank you for your review and message! There's a video in progress, but the publication date is still a question mark. If you get stuck, you can always send me an email and I'll help you out! 😊
I really enjoyed making this bag :). Even though I have not crocheted for years, the pattern was easy to follow. I really liked the additional explanatory Videos that helped me with some tricky parts. I am very happy with the result. The head has some Bigger holes which I don‘t like because I did not crochet the decreases tight enough. A little note in the instruction would have helped me here but this is completely my fault as for someone who crochets regularly, this would probably be very clear. Thank you very much for the efforts you put into your creations!
Wally the Whale bag & pouch | Crochet PDF pattern
Firstly I recommend the pattern. I think the pattern is well designed and explained in the pdf. It is smaller than I expected though. My iphone doesn’t fit in as an example. I was hoping to use myself as the design is so cute, but I think I will give it to a kid as a gift due to the size.
If you buy the pattern, and want to use it, make it a little bit bigger, or use different yarn.
Hi Ayse! I'm so sorry you weren't happy with the size of your goose bag. To trouble shoot the problem would you mind letting me know what yarn you used and if you matched the gauge that was provided in the pattern?
Best wishes,
Veronica
Cool pattern! I switch the yarn for chenille and it got out pretty well and close to the original in size. Evrything is well explained. Thank you!
Had loads of fun making Pepper. Instructions were super clear. I would recommend taking the time to make the lining. It definitely makes a difference!
I love all of these patterns. They are easy to follow and very well-designed. I will definitely be buying more in the future!
The final result looks too pretty. The documents tells you the exact yarn and size, but you can use others types like I did and still get the same results. In my case I used Royal from Zeeman 4mm yarn and 4mm hock.
The instructions are pretty straightforward to follow and it's easy to change some parts to your taste (in my case I changed the eyes).
I recommend this pattern if you at least know the basics.
Here are my results! I finished a review before, but can’t add pictures.
I love this pattern and the result. I change the knot at the end of the strips, because I was not able to do it the right way :[ but it’s ok, I’m in love with my new bag! So cool!!!
Hi Katharina! Thank you so much for your feedback. Here you'll find a short video on how to tie the knots. ☺️ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL5P6IUCzNW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
I haven't started it yet but have looked through it as I plan to start soon looks pretty detailed and has good pictures that help to explain potentially confusion parts. Can't wait to start it
Hello! I loved the pattern and I am almost done with the project. The pattern was meticulous and aided by pictures. I only would suggest more details and photos about the assembling part, since I am having a hard time joining the shell and tummy because they're different shapes. Do i sew a circle within the two shapes or should it be on the edges? Also is crocheting around possible instead of sewing? I guess I should just contact you directly 😅
Hi Lorraine!
I'm so sorry you're struggling with the assembling. The tummy and the shell have the same shape but not the same number of stitches. The reason for this is to make the bag more 3-dimensional and therefore more roomy for all our trinkets.
My best tip is to pin together the parts carefully and sew it slowly. If you're struggling, I highly recommend following the suggestion (Check: Note for beginners) at the beginning of the pattern to make two tummies instead of a tummy and a shell.
And remember if you get stuck again, I'm always just a message away and more than happy to help. :)
I love it! The pattern is easy to understand and I’m so excited to crochet 🧶
I made a male.version of Ruth and I've called him Shrimphoee he was super easy to make and quick. I really enjoyed and have already got my eye on the crab bag
I'm always so proud to show off items around my home that I made myself and even more excited about items I can wear because I can take them out and about. I am so pleased with how this crab bag turned out even though I would still consider myself a beginner at crochet! The pattern was very easy to follow and the addition of the links to instructional videos made it even more straight forward. I did make a shell and tummy even though the pattern says for beginners it would be easier for construction purposes to make 2 tummies, but this was because I accidentally missed where it said that. I would definitely recommend making the 2 tummies for beginners because I did have a tiny bit of mismatch at the end when sewing together, but that is not to do with the pattern, that is my inexperience. Either way, I'm really happy with the bag and would definitely recommend the pattern for all crocheter levels.
I love this goose pattern! So excited to make it for one of my many niblings!
I made my shrimp without difficulty I love it, I do wish I could make the shrimp bigger but I really am not that advanced in crocheting so I left it as is per directions. Though I did add a lining and a pocket in it. Either way it was such a fun project.
this pattern is amazing!! also the video for making the knot on the straps was super helpful
