Spiral Bag Handle Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Polyester macrame rope or similar sturdy rope
- Crochet hook suitable for your rope size
Instructions:
- Starting the Handle:
- Make a loop to start.
- Chain 7.
- Make single crochets (sc) into the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. You should end up with 6 single crochets.
- Chain 1 and turn.
- Creating a Flat Base:
- Crochet 5 rows of single crochets to form the flat part of the handle.
- Turn at the end of each row by chaining 1 and continuing with single crochets.
- Beginning the Spiral:
- After completing the flat rows, begin the spiral pattern.
- Insert your hook to the left of the V-shaped portions of your stitches. This may be difficult to describe verbally, so referring to the video visually at this point may be helpful.
- Continue this pattern for a few rows until the spiral becomes apparent.
- Adjusting the Thickness:
- To adjust the thickness of the handle, you can increase or decrease the number of chains you start with.
- For a thicker handle, start with more chains. For a thinner handle, start with fewer chains.
- Advancing the Spiral:
- Continue crocheting the spiral to the desired length.
- Make sure your cord remains full and firm.
- Finishing the Handle:
- Straighten out your cord on the table to ensure evenness.
- Find the middle by folding your handle from the beginning side to the middle.
- Finish up with single crochets and chains as needed to secure the end.
Tips:
- Watch the video carefully for detailed guidance, particularly during the spiral creation portion, as it can be tricky to explain verbally.
- Adjust the number of starting chains to customize the thickness of your handle.
- Ensure your handle is neat and even by straightening it and aligning each stitch properly.
