In

Romanian
Cord Stitch
– I used all 3 of my yarns together so I need to use size 5 hook,
but you can just use 1 yarn. For
the pic I used 1 yarn.
First,
chain 2 and work a single crochet into the 2nd chain from your hook.
As you do this, pay attention to your turning chain (the one you did
not work into). It will fold up alongside your stitch, and create a
small loop on the side.
Turn,
and single crochet into this side loop.
Notice
as you do this that each single crochet (including the previous one
you made), forms 2 little loops just under your hook. You will find
the 2 loops from the previous stitch along the side edge.
Repeating
Stitch:
Turn,
and single crochet into the 2 side loops. These two loops were
created by your very first stitch.
Repeat
this last step until you reach your desired length. After a few
more stitches, you should see a flat, textured cord start to form.
Since we are turning with every stitch, it will look the same on both
sides.
Sew
handle onto swivel hook and attach to purse. Enjoy.
