Crochet: Add Length to Bag Strap

Video Transcript

"Just for precaution, I am going to go ahead and add a little bit of length, onto my handle because you never know when you actually get to attaching it, how exactly, it's going to work out because you do want your handle to be a little bit far down, just to make sure you get a lot of attachment going on here, so it's not so much stress, so it's very secure. So, to start, we're going to wrap the yarn around our finger and we're going to make our pretzel, just like that, pull it through, and you could take either side. Either the side that was your start or your end, this is where we began, this is where we started it, so it's going to be a little bit more difficult to work there, so we're going to the top, where we ended it and you could see our little chain, is right there. This is what's going to make it easy. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start on the edge, to make sure I keep a straight line and go ahead and connect our yarn that way and then we're just going to go through our loops, just the way we did as if we were adding a boarder because this whole handle, is a single crochet, so it works just fine to add onto there. It's a really seamless attachment to add. If you're making this for a customer, you know a custom order and you give it to them and they're like "well the handles aren't long enough," no problem, just take it back, detach your handles and add just a little bit of length, just like this. It doesn't take much time, it's really effortless and you could be really pleasing to your clients and they'll come back to you for more of your creations. There we go and we just come, right here to the end, remember to check your sides to make sure you don't have anything hanging over, there we go, turn it around, and there we go. We just keep going, just keep adding on and there we go. That's how we add length to our handle."
