Hi! Beautiful pattern! I found that stitches were not aligning well, so, at the end of R4 of bottom shell I did sl st 22 (instead of 21), and problem solved!
Thanks for sharing the pattern!
Great, sometimes a little tweak does the magic.
Beautiful patterns! I LOVE that you not only write out your patterns so thoroughly but also so many highly detailed pictures! Thank you so very much for ALL that you do! I can’t wait to finish my second set of Beach hat and matching Beach Tote! I have so MANY wanting them! My mother, my daughters-in-laws ( I have 4!) and my granddaughters! I shall be busy busy busy! lol Thank you!! Oh and ~ Your patterns are the very FIRST that I have ever found that did NOT call for wire in the brim of the hats! Bless you!!!!
Oh wow, you are going to be busy with this pattern for a while, happy crochet!
Hi first of all thank you for this absolutely beautiful pattern. My question is can this be made with cotton instead of rafgia.
Hi Lis, you can substitute it with cotton 🙂
I absolutely love this bag! The directions were a little confusing at first but after a few attempts I figured it out. I had left over stitches on the first round of shells but I found out that if I skipped 4 stitches in R1 instead of 3 I ended each where I needed to. Although I used a 5.25mm hook and regular size 4 yarn (I wanted a really big beach tote since i have 3 kids). I also made one with half the amount of the big tote. My smaller one I just did half the stitches for the round bottom and 4 shells total around instead of 8. (Still skipped 4 instead of 3 in R1) Thank you for sharing! 🙂
If you calm down, you will find everything in right places. The pattern is not for beginners. Please, respect the owner of the pattern – it takes a lot of time and effort to share for FREE such pattern.
Just be grateful, not everything in this world is free.
Happy Crocheting!
I need help as well! I’m very confused, I have made first seashell row two times and can’t make it right
Please refer to the step photos given and compare the stitches with yours, see if you can see any clue where have you done incorrectly.
I LOVE this pattern and was going to try it but after reading comments I don’t think so.
I too am waiting on a video tutorial on this. The pictures do not make it clear where the stitches are supposed to go and the written directions are very confusing. I’m wondering if ANYONE has actually been successful in finishing this tote because I can’t find any. Please help.
I am interested in the blue crochet tote, but can’t seem to find the pattern. Is it available?
Yes, I am writing it now, please check again next week.
I’m beginning to think this is some kind of scam. I have downloaded the first PDF like it asked me to, would NOT take me to the pattern, then I came back to the site, & tried again & it’s sending me to again another download I’ve NEVER HEARD OF! What the heck is going on with your site where I can’t get this pattern? I’m NOT going to download a bunch of CRAP on my computer that could cause me to get either or both a virus or trojon. You really need to make your downloaded patterns more simplier.
Please look for the correct download link, it could be the “ads” that mislead you, the site is protected from viruses, so it is clean from viruses. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Can you please help? I just finished the first row of giant shells and I ended up with seven extra stitches. I’m not sure where I messed up, but I’m thinking maybe it is where each of the shells meet with the previous shell. Is the dc at the end of R3 supposed to be in the same stitch as the end of the previous shell? Mine ended up that way, and that’s the only thing I could think of that may be wrong.
Yes, you are right, the last dc of R3 is in the same stitch as the last dc of R4 of the shell next to it. Please count if you have 1 (sharing with next shell) + 27 + 1 (sharing with next shell) of the last row of the base within a shell, I assume that you have 224 sts at the last round of base.
Hi, I’m attempting the shell bag pattern. I had 224 stitches at R18 and I have crocheted giant shell stitch but. Have 9 shells.
I can’t see where I’m going wrong if I had 224 stitches as stated.
Any advise ?
Hi Iris, first of all, please check if each of your shell was made from 28 sts from the base round R18. Perhaps you have missed some instruction in the first row of shell.
Is there a video for the Bottom Shell and Intermediate Shell? I am a bit confused.
Glad that you have found it 🙂
