Has any of the problems been resolved since June? Row 10 repeat and rows 11-20 repeats?
Hi – love the bag but as noted there are some errors. Does the designer have a diagram for the pattern? Or will there be an updated version? I know R4 is missing the start *. T
Defiinitely something wrong with this pattern.. What a shame. I would have liked to make it. Will someone let us know if it gets corrected?
Have the mistakes been fixed yet. I want to make several of these bags but not if the pattern has not been fixed. thanks, Alida
Hello Alida! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor

The round counts seem to be off. Can you correct the errors and repost this? We all really love the bag and want to make it, but we want to do it correctly the first time. 😉
Hi Anna! We’ve reached out to the designer for clarification and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola
How can you all spam us to join this club and the patterns aren’t even correct? The item is featured and the pattern isnt even correct. Are the patterns tested prior to posting? It’s your business’s reputation on the line. And it was posted in 2016!
Hello! All patterns are tech edited, but human errors do occur. I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
I think the “Rnds 11-20:Â Rep Rnds 10-14 twice more” should read Rnds 15-20:Â Rep Rnds 10-14 ONCE more
how do I purchase materials ….yarn, hook, tapestry needle (especially the Hobby Lobby Yarkn
where do I purchase materials…especially the Hobby Lobby Yarn suggested
Hello! The Hobby Lobby Yarn is available on Hobby Lobby’s website: https://www.hobbylobby.com/Yarn-Needle-Art/Yarn/I-Love-This-Cotton-Yarn/p/YN20330
However, if it is not available to ship to your area, you are welcome to substitute the yarn with one of the ones that YarnSub recommends: https://yarnsub.com/yarns/hobby_lobby/i_love_this_cotton_solids
Your local craft stores should have the rest of the materials required!
Hope this helps! – Nicola
There are definitely glitches with how this pattern is written- the rows don’t always build on each other and the repeat is row 9- 14 not 10 to 14. I’m working on debugging this pattern because it is beautiful! Bottom of the bag is worked a bit like a shoe.
How do you work row 10?
Yes I would like someone to show how this bag is made.
I like the pattern it looks like it would be fun to make.
I do better if I can see someone show me how to make the pattern.
