Hello, friends especially needleworkers @needleworkmonday community!
Progressing is hard, especially for a left abandon project. But I was enthusiast to our WIP project, so I spent day by day crocheting my mini net bag. Not easy because I made big mistakes that I realized after I almost finished my project. What a big NO! I made the slipped stitches to single crochets, a big NO because I couldn’t fix it, the slipped stitch really had less texture than the single crochets I made for the project, no wonder as a bag, the net bag I made, looked unproportional, it had too big handles. So with a deep regret, I opened all of the crochets I made :’.
Although this project is not an easy one for a beginner like me, but this project help me learn a lot. I must not missed every single crochet, even i couldn’t just swap the crochets to other, because it would effect a lot to my crochet project. So then day by day, I continued processing, even I spent my evenings with this project and I missed my drawings plus sometimes I even missed my exercise time, LOL. But it really worth it because finally I could finish my first WIP project and the feeling I got was incomparable.
Oh yes I am very sorry for all my friends who are not in our needleworkmonday community, this tutorial is one of my entry for the WIP challenge where I finally continue my old abandoned project for this contest. You could read about it here

Now before I forget how I made it… let’s go and see how I process it all, from the very first beginning..
Project Time: I spent day by day, around 2-2.5 hours a day but then I had to start over again. So if I measure the time, counting all, but I reduced the days when I needed to start over. So I measure the time since I started over, it was around 20 hours.
Difficulty: Quite difficult for me :’
Materials & things needed:
- T-Shirt yarn
- 8 mm crochet hook
- Craft scissors
- Plastic pins
- Measurement tape
How to make it:
1ST
I measured the yarn for 150 cm then left it. I then start chaining 20 and mark. Then I chained another 40 and I slipped stitch to the mark. After that, Chain 9, slip stitched to the 10th chain on the left of the mark. Then i repeated it once more.
2ND
Next I chained 10, then I chained another 10 so it would equal 20 chain and mark it (2nd mark, orange) on the 20th chain. Then i made 40 chain. Slipped stitch to the 2nd mark.
3RD
Then I crocheted chain 9, slipped stitch to the left 10th chain of the 2nd mark, repeated it once more. I continued by chaining 9 then slipped stitch to the 5th from the join knot.
4TH
Repeated again 2 times. For the handle, mark 5th chain left of the join knot, then slipped stitch from my hook to the 3rd mark (purple one).
5TH
I did again the chaining 9, slipped stitch to the 5th left of the join knot. Then I repeated the process 4 times.
6TH
I did the same for the handle, first I marked 5th chain left of the join knot, then slipped stitch from my hook to the 4th mark (pink one). Then I made two times of chaining 9 then slipped stitch to the 5th from the join knot. Chain 4, slipped stitch to the 5th left of the join knot.
7TH
You could see the result closer (first row of the pictures below). Then chained 9, slipped stitch to the 5th left of the join knot. And I repeated it 2 times.
8TH
Then I marked 5th chain from the purple mark (yellow one). Slipped stitch until that mark. Chain 9, slipped stitch to the 5th left of the join knot. Repeated 5 times. I also marked 5th chain from the pink mark (blue one). Slipped stitch until that mark. Then again, crocheted chain 9, slipped stitch to the 5th left of the join knot. Repeated 2 times. Next I crocheted chain 9, slipped stitch to the 5th left of the join knot. Repeated once. Then I slipped stitch 10. And I made 110 chain. I marked 5th (pink) and 10th (blue). Slipped stitch from the blue to the pink mark. Then again I did the Chain 9..
9TH
slipped stitch to the 5th left of the join knot. Repeated 4 times. Slipped stitch 10 then chain 110.
10TH
Next i marked 5th from the join and then 10th (i used the green and purple, i release other pin markers). Then i slipped stitch from purple to green. Chain 9, slipped stitch to the 5th left of the join knot. Repeated once. Chain 4, slip stitched to the 5th left the join. I turned it up. Then chain 6..
11TH
I then inserted the hook to the 5th chain of the front and also back, slipped. Repeated once more. Cut then chain 1 and pull through.
12TH
I also chained 4 from the tail then join to the left. Repeated. Chain 4 again then slipped to the 5th stitch (in the middle). Chain 6,

13TH
After that I slipped stitch to the 5th chain of front and back to join them. Repeated. Chain 1 pull through. Finished then turn it up.

Keep up the good work and have a blessed week.
Thanks once more, for sure i will keep continuing...

This is so great!!! And it looks a lot difficult, not easy at all. No wonder you made some tiny mistakes. It has such an intricate pattern. It reminds me of an archeology book I once read… there was explained that in some cultures knots and braided have a kind of religious/ritual meaning besides being pretty to look at. I forgot if it was about Celtic culture… I guess I need to look it up.
But back to your bag: congratulations!!!!!!!
Thank you so much @neumannsalva... i am so glad you like it and it's comforting me to know that this one is not easy even for a master like you. Actually i need a tip to make a constant tension on my crochet, how could you have the same tension and rythm for your crochet? I just looked at your lavender cardi and i love how you neatly working it 😍
Such an idea astonished me because I have never seen something great like this kind of bag you just displayed. This means through needlework everything is possible to crochet.
Thank you so much :) @apunawu
This is awesome. The yellowish smiley blended well. Your work is nice.
Thank you
I am very happy with the effort you put in to move forward. You selected something complex and you were able to handle it, that's absolutely wonderful. The bag looks beautiful, and the amigurrmi flower is adorable and makes a perfect combination with the bag.
Thank you for the step by step, it is very valuable
Thanks a lot @jicrochet. Well it is great to finally finish one of the wip, thanks for supporting me to join the challenge. And i relieved that you even said that this was a complex project to do, fyuh, it took my evenings actually... glad you like it :)
