Step-by-step to make Crochet Bag

This looks like a crocheted spiral cord / Romanian cord (crochet cord) often used for handles, bracelets, bag straps, or decorative edging. Here’s a clear step-by-step tutorial to make it 👇

---

🧶 MATERIALS (IMPORTANT)

• Yarn: Cotton yarn or nylon cord (medium thickness)
• Hook: 2.5 mm – 4 mm
  👉 Smaller hook = tighter & prettier cord
• Scissors

---

🔑 BASIC STITCH YOU MUST KNOW

• Chain (ch)
• Single Crochet (sc)
• Slip Stitch (sl st)

---

🪡 STEP–BY–STEP (VERY DETAILED)

---

🟢 STEP 1: Make the foundation chain

1. Make a slip knot
2. Chain 5 stitches

👉 Don’t make it loose
👉 Count carefully

Example:
ch 1 – ch 2 – ch 3 – ch 4 – ch 5

---

🟢 STEP 2: Join into a ring

1. Insert hook into the first chain
2. Yarn over
3. Pull through → slip stitch

✅ Now you have a small ring

---

🟢 STEP 3: First round (this makes the core)

1. Chain 1 (does NOT count as a stitch)
2. Insert hook into the center of the ring
3. Make 7 single crochet (sc)

👉 Put ALL stitches inside the ring
👉 Do NOT join the round
👉 Do NOT turn your work

Your work will look like a small circle

---

🟢 STEP 4: VERY IMPORTANT PART (spiral starts here)

Now look carefully 👀

❌ Do NOT crochet into the top “V” of stitches
✅ Crochet BETWEEN the stitches, around the cord

---

🟢 STEP 5: Make the spiral texture

1. Insert hook between two stitches
2. Yarn over
3. Pull up loop
4. Yarn over, pull through 2 loops → 1 sc

👉 Pull the stitch tight
👉 This tight tension creates the spiral bumps

---

🟢 STEP 6: Keep crocheting

• Continue single crochet
• Always insert hook between stitches
• Keep tension tight
• Do NOT:
  ❌ join rounds
  ❌ turn work
  ❌ chain

✨ The cord will twist by itself

---

🟢 STEP 7: Control the thickness

• Thicker cord → start with 6–7 chains
• Thinner cord → start with 4 chains
• Very firm cord → smaller hook

---

🟢 STEP 8: Length

• Crochet until you reach your desired length
• For:
  • Bracelet → 18–20 cm
  • Bag handle → 40–60 cm
  • Decoration → any length

---

🟢 STEP 9: Finish

1. Slip stitch
2. Cut yarn
3. Pull through
4. Weave in ends neatly
