Are you looking to add a unique touch to your handmade bags or purses?
Consider adding a crochet cord handle using this easy-to-follow pattern and video tutorial.
Crochet cord handles can add a beautiful and functional element to any bag, and with just a few simple steps, you’ll have the perfect finishing touch for your project.
To start, gather your materials.
You’ll need some yarn in your desired color, a crochet hook (size will depend on the thickness of your yarn), scissors, and a tapestry needle.
You may also want to have some stitch markers handy to help keep track of your progress.
Next, follow the steps below:
What You’ll Need
Check the pattern for the exact yarn weight and hook size – here is what to have on hand before you start.
You’ll also need: a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, stitch markers and scissors.
Shop the supplies: worsted weight yarn · ergonomic crochet hook set · tapestry needles · locking stitch markers · small craft scissors

How to Attach a Handle to a Crochet Bag
This page shows how to crochet the handle itself. If your handle is finished and you need to fix it to the bag, these posts cover that step:
- How to Make a Crochet Bag: Easy Beginner Tutorial has a section on adding handles to the sides of a finished bag.
- Spring Creamy Yellow Phone Bag Crochet Pattern finishes with a slim crocheted strap that is sewn in place, and the steps are written out.
- 13 Free Crochet Bag Patterns includes bags with no-sew handles worked into the body, straps sewn on at the end, and a crossbody whose designer shows the seaming in a video.
- Want a different handle style? Try the braided strap tutorial or the spiral cord purse handle.
