Transcripts

1. 1. Introduction: Hi there and welcome back to class. Today's Thursday, and Thursday means another crochet class. In today's class, we've got this super easy beginner friendly crochet purse that is made from two very simple stitches that you already know, which are the single crochet and the double crochet. We'll be using a slip stitch here and there, just to close it up and see him up the ends. This is an absolute beginner friendly project. And to achieve this crochet purse, we will be using a worsted weight yarn, five millimeter crochet hook, a four millimeter crochet hook, that button, and a yarn needle or a tapestry needle or whatever it is. Then of this class, you should be able to be making this progress in whatever color you want or whatever style you want. So go ahead and click on Enroll. Let me see. 2. 2. Materials: The materials that we'll be using in this crochet purse class or a worsted weight yarn. A five millimeter crochet, hook, a button, and a yarn needle. 3. 3. Stitches: The stitches for this crochet class will be chain, single crochet, double crochet. And they slip stitch. 4. 4. Foundation chain: To begin working when all purse you're going to grab your five millimeter crochet hook. And there was a young and make a slipknot. After you've made that slipknot, you want to make a chain of multiples of two. But if you want to make the chain the size, of course that we make in this class, then be sure to chain 24. And that's true for if you have not changed 24, Be sure to pause the video and finish off your chaining and then you can meet us right back. So to get started, we will be working into the buck bumps of odd chain. So you're just going to take that chain, turn it upside down, and we'll be working into these back loops or chain, into that second chain from the hook into the bump, bump, go in with a single crochet, and then into the next chain. Pump gorilla with a double crochet, yarn over, insert your hook in there. Pull the yarn through, yarn over, pull through two loops and over without the two groups. And then in the next stitch, you go back to a single crochet, insert your hook, yarn over, pull through two. So for the rest of them are, we're just going to be alternating between a double crochet. And they single crochet. That's a double crochet. Followed by single crochet. Double crochet, followed by a single crochet. So since we started with a single crochet, we're going to be ending with another single crochet. So you're gonna keep doing this double crochet, single crochet, double crochet. And I'll meet you towards the end of the world. 5. 5. Crochet bag: So now I have to chase left to reach the end of my room. And I'm working my last single crochet we've reached the end are just going to make a chain of one in turn. So this is what the right side of our work should look alike. And now into that first chain, go in with a single crochet. Where you placed a single crochet. Also going to place a single crochet on top of the double crochet, which is this one. You also place a double crochet. And this was a single crochet in there. We will go with another single crochet. This was a double crochet and do that shall do this all the way to the end of through steel alternating between single crochet and a double crochet. So let me just get to the end of my rope and I'll meet you so I can help you get started on row three. Be sure to keep count. As a stitch goes on, you can see that the stitches are starting to form. It shows on either side, but you can pick which side looks better for you For your preference sake. So let me finish off road to and I will meet you right back. I just finished proved to start with three. I've already made a chain of one into that first stitch, gonna go in with a single crochet, then proceed double crochet and back to a single crochet. And then a double crochet. Single crochet. And that's what we're going to keep doing for the rest of the row, for the rest of the work. So as you can see, that pattern is starting to form. It's all starting to come together. So you're going to continue doing this for a total of 33 rows. So this is row three. You want to do this for a total of 33 rows. So after this we're going to have 30 more rows to do. And that's what we're going to keep doing. You get to the end. You chain one, turn, move back. You get to the end of chain 12. Just like that. So when you're done with your 33 rows, I will meet you right back. 6. 6. Cleaning up: So at the end of our 33 rows, this is what your work should be looking like. Go ahead and count 25 from down here coming up. Let me just show you. I'm going to count the stitches. If you look closely at the stitch, you're going to see a little bump. This does is it makes it really hard to count. But make sure your little strand is on the left side of you. So when you see this set of little bump there, a little bumpy segments. Each bumpy segments counts for two stitches. For example, this little bumpy area is a segment of two. But if that's also a little hard for you, and then you can just kind of put the stitches apart. And you'll be able to tell that this is a row and this is another row. But the easiest ways I recommend counting as you go, but others, when we lay it flat, you're going to see that there's little clusters of clusters and each row represents two. So for example, this first-class stage two rows, this is true Rose. They look like pumps. I'm not sure if you're able to see this on camera, but it shows in person. For example, this right here I'm committing to rows each. So you want to leave stitch markers both sides on the road, 25. And then I've loved them at the beginning as well. But you just want to put this on the 25th root. But then before that, we're going to go around the work placing single crochets all around our entire purse. So go ahead. First of all, put a stitch markers and the 25th row so you don't miss that on both sides. And meet me back so that we can grow around placing or single crochets. 7. 7. SC around: So row 34 would be a roof single crochets, just going to single crochet in there and unto every stitch of the room. So go on single crochet or the way to the end of the road. And I will meet you once you get there. So once you reached the last row, you just want to place two single crochets into that last row, which will also count as, which will help us turn. And then you're just going to place a single crochet into the sites, into the side chain, one species. Just like so. And once you get to that stitch marker, you want to just take it out, please that single crochet and replace stitch marker. And then you want to have continued policing single crochet. When you get to this end or this corner, you're just going to place twist stitch markers and turn this edge should be easy to work into it. Because remember we're working through the backbone of our chain, which makes the other chain stuck stand out better. So it's gonna be easy for you to work your single crochets. And then once you get to the last one, you're going to place to invest and policing or crushes into their side chain one rows should get to the stitch marker. You take it out, please and single crochet, replace it and come all the way back up where we will slip stitch into that first single crochet would meet this or I'm going to go with the marrow and I'll meet you. Alright? Make sure you do not fast enough your urine. 8. 8.Button up: So after you've gone all the way around, this is what it should be looking like. I ended right here. Placing that single crochet. As you can see. Now, you just want to take the work and for different to half. Because remember we do have an odd number of rows. After you fold it into help you wanna find that stitch that's at the very center. I'll take this one for me. And you want to put a stitch marker to that stitch. Just like that. Now, we're going to do is bring your work from the bottom unfolded, resting the bottom edges where the stitch markers light just like that. And close the top because this is what they look like. But wanted to turn in where we want our button to be. Right here with the sticks market is, is where you want to place your patent. So bring your button and just rest it right there. So right lane on a crippling our needle. And put your yarn and then you see where the button is right here, because it'd be so good on this side, since this would be the outside of our work and this is the inside. So this is where the bathroom was. So just hold on to that place. The other side. You want to place your button at the very same place. Then flip your needle from the bottom, lift from the other side of the soil button from to your purse. 9. 9. Weaving in ends : After you've reached into the stitch, before the stitch marker, we are going to fold our work just like that so that you're aligning the corners or the corner with that stitch marker. Right here has been to that corner from the bottom. That stitch marker and then insert your hook, that stitch markers and slip stitch into the second stitch and you will slip stitch if you're not comfortable with this method, can always use your needle so you're gonna do their needle is close all the way down to here. When you get to the bottom, you can fast enough. Then you're going to connect your yarn to the bottom corner, to the top corner. And you also closed all the way down here and you'll cut off the unasked for me. I would just slip stitch with my former me to hook up to don't hear chain running cut, connect up here and close with the substituents all the way down here. And then I'll meet you once I have done with it. So I have just finished doing all of that. And this is what we're looking at, like suggest to him that work inside out. Just like that. So we can cut off or weaving those ends later. Stretch up those ends properly. When you close your purse, should come down just like that button. It's going to go through there. Just like that. Then stretch it out real nice. Just like so this is what it should look like. Isn't that cute? Personally, I'm in love. And in this pose you can keep your crochet hooks if you want. Well, you can be you can put your money in there already. If you don't have a case or somewhere to store your crochet hooks, you can really just use this to store. Those were some money or I don't know anything, really. The person is relaxed and you've earned it. Go ahead and we run those as you can tell it there I'm reciting again. We run those ends and your purse is one done. Just like that. 10. 10. Outro: Congrats makers, you're all done with your crochet purse. Go on. Make your breaths. Use whatever color, urine you want on materials. You don't have to use a button. You can be creative and do something different. Be sure to post a picture of your project in the projects area. And if you have any questions that need prospects relation information, be sure to raise that up so that we can discuss this. And to next class. See you in a bit.
