I miss you so much Melanie. I love to thank the family for sharing Melanie with us I love her videos and will always watch them. Thank you again.

Beautiful. Thank you for being so generous with us throughout your life. Rest in peace Melanie and lots of love to your family

I would say I am a beginner and have never done the star stitch but decided to just jump in and give it a go. I am now half way through and this tutorial is very easy to follow with very clear instructions. I can’t wait to finish and make more. Thank you 🌟

I cannot imagine those that are disliking this channel and videos....you must be haters is all I can think! I love that this is where I originally relearned to crochet after picking up my hook after 41 years!

This video is really helpful. It’s quick and easy and works up quickly. I’m making it for my aunt and I’m sure she’ll love it! It took less than a day and the star stitch looks really cool. I was able to do this and I just started crochet like a month ago and I am a beginner. Thanks for making this video

Sending feelings of hope to the Ham family. I'm at 21:14 into this video and Melanie is holding up a rainbow bag. Outside my widow appears the most gorgeous rainbow after a storm! This is also right after I watched Robert's gorgeous film about Melanie and their family. It might be a coincidence, or...

I miss her! I tear up thinking of her and her educating us!

Who's ready for a new crochet tutorial?! This one you can make in a day with 1 ball of yarn... yeah!

Thank you Melanie for sharing your talents. This is a perfect little bag for my Pastor's daughter. She's turning 3 in a few days. She's going to love this Bag. 💖🙏

Portuguese is my native language and there are a lot of crochet channel, but I've never understood how to crochet this star stitch😩 So thanks to your tutorial I finally got it. 🥰 Almost finishing my bag with a mercerized cotton yarn, using a 1.75 mm hook.

Thank you for sharing this pattern! My mom is going to love the one I made for her!

Just made your cute little starstitch drawstring bag. Lovely pattern well written and demonstrated. Thanks Melanie a such fun little project.

This tutorial and pattern were just amazing. Thank you. I modified it slightly by doing a solid color for the base and a separate color for the top part of the bag. I also put a star on the side of it and made it a bit shorter. Truly just a wonderful bag and a perfect christmas gift. Thank you again.

OMG the star stitch is soooo under used in my opinion! It's such a fun summery vibe! Not to mention frickin CUTE as a bag! Love it!!

Thank you for the video. Easy to follow. I have now made 4 more of these with different patterns to practice stitches.

Rest In Peace , Condsolences to your husband and 2 kids , very sorry for your lost 😔❤️

These are so cute and I love the star design! Going to make these for my young granddaughters with the self-striping yarn. Thank you for the tutorial!

Thank you for sharing your work. I really love this pattern ❤

Thank you for this tutorial and your magic circle tutorial because I have a really hard time with starting these kinds of projects. Your videos are so easy to follow. Could you do tutorials for door baskets? And hanging plant holders? The kind that drape down in front of the window.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW BAG. THANK YOU FOR SHARING🌼🙂🌺

That is precious! Can't wait to make them for my grand daughters! Love your videos!!

Thank you for sharing this pattern 🙏❤️

Did mine in a few hrs but I had kids running around lol. Awesome video I’ve never done the star stitch before, so this video was well made and it looks fabulous thank you

I love this! I'm still fairly new to crocheting and picked up on this pattern very quickly bc you do such an amazing job at explaining!

I love your crochet videos! They are the best for a beginner! I loved making this and I even added on some flowers from one of your other videos.

Lovely

Amazing. Thank you for teaching that good. I did my first star stitch.

Ooh! Beautiful!!!!

The best visible star design so far....

Forever ❤ Melanie

This is so adorable , I love your color palette - what an inspiration 💕

So cute. I enjoyed watching that tutorial. Thank you!

Cute

Happy new year my love amazing teacher 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😘😘😘

Love love love this! Thank you for the Easy instructions you are the best

I’m going to attempt to make this bag. Wish me luck! Thanks Melanie. Great video.

So cute!! Thanks!😊

So cute! I have made similar bags but I love this star stitch so I definitely will make one or more! lol.

Hello Melanie, such a cute bag, I will try to do it, for my nieces for Xmas, thanks. 🇬🇾🌹🤗🌹

This is marvelous 🥰 But I have a problem, the place where I join my last star in a row with a slip stitch... It's very ugly and obvious... Also.. the beginning of slip stitch in row one of stars, seems to be moving 🦴.... 🤭

Nicely taught 👌 I learn easily 😊

Think this will be my next project, thank you. Love this 💕👍

Thank u thank u thank u so much for this tutorial can't thank enough ❤️❤️❤️

How beautiful ❤️

I got really confused on the 4th round 4:20. It sounds like you want 2hdc, then 1hdc, then 2hdc, repeat...I did the round twice and ended up with way more than 40 stitches. Your written pattern explains that it is actually 2hdc, then 1hdc, then 1hdc, repeat. Lovely tutorial otherwise. Thank you!

I discovered your channel today! Simply amazing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! A big hug from 🇮🇹😊

Omg it looks so perfect, yee 😍

Love this pattern :) just one question to be sure....at some point in 04:21 you say “double crochet”. I believe it is half double as on previous rounds, right? I am a beginner and don’t wanna mess this up 😃 thanks

Absolutely love

so cute and simple. you are amazing. please post more crotchet videos

To cute friend and Happy new year 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶

Wow this is so nice! 💕Thank you.

I love it soooooooooooooooo much

Thanks for this pattern mam may allah bless u

hoping they keep her tutorials on may she rest in peace

Super cute!!

Wow I am do this ❤❤❤❤😊😊

Thank you for your videos. Rest In Peace 🙏

No matter how many times I rework this, the place where my rounds joins has a a noticeable peak. What am I doing wrong?

im gonna try to make this bag

Thank you

Could you make this into like a shoulder bag where the draw string is super long to go as a strap???

Cute bag...hope everything is fine

Fabulous thank you

Is the chain one also counted as stitch?

Hello. I love your crafts.. And I lesrned alot from your videos.. What type of yarn did you use in this bag?

Hi I am making your drawstring bag and I have a problem. When you say on the 2nd row of the start stitch at the end to do 1 more stitch to stop a hole forming, do you do this for every round of the 2nd row of the start stitch. As I have done that and my bag has become bigger. Please help me as this bag is lovely.

Almost done making one for these. Very cute, thank you for the tutorial.

Gorgeous ❤ I'm in love

I miss you.💔 ...🙏🏼for your family and friends.

COOL BEANZZZ!

I've recently discovered your channel. Love it. I have a question though... when changing colors I'm sooo worried that the ends will just unravel sooo I'm always tying a knit because logic tells me that if washed, it will unravel. I admit my logic can be skewed sooo will you explain HOW they don't just unravel?

So is it one row star stich and one row triple crochet twice in each space ?

ACH I subbed LOVE THIS!
