Hello my friends!
Some of you may know I have a Pinterest profile--it's hard not to get addicted to that place! I've discovered so many gorgeous things to craft, so many talented people... but above all, I've been creating a sort of "box of favourite crafts" I can get back to when I get the time and the opportunity to try something new.
On my dwellings I found this image of crochet purse handles, and a link to the blog with the tutorial.
The blog is Roberta Crochet & Cia and the tutorial is written in Portuguese... so when I saw someone asking for a translation (sorry, I can't find the original request!) I offered to do so.
Here's my translation, hope it's clear enough (it really is very simple!)
Crochet
purse handles
Step 1
Make a
chain 140 stitches long (approximately 90 cm long) and make 4 rows of sc
(single crochet). Slip stitch the top and bottom rows together to form a tube.
Join both ends of the tube, to form a circle. Reinforce these stitches to make
sure they don’t come apart.
Step 2
Make a
chain 35 stitches long (approximately 20cm) and make 8 rows of sc. Form a roll
around the tube you made in step 1 and slip stitch it together, top and bottom
row of your crochet strip.
Step 3
Chain 3;
Row 1: 3 sc;
Row 2: 4
sc;
Row 3: 5
sc;
Rows 4 to 16: 6 sc;
Row 17: 5
sc;
Row 18: 4
sc;
Row 19: 3
sc;
You can
make it wider or longer if you’d like; work with crab stitch or single crochet
around it to finish off . Make 2 to secure the purse handles onto the purse
itself.
Please refer to Roberta's blog to see all images, I only added one for each step here but she has a step by step tutorial with more images. Thank you Roberta, for your very clear tutorial!
Hope this is useful!
Have a wonderful week :)
