\"After an entire article heaping applause on premade bases for crochet bags<\/a>, it’s time to praise store-bought handles for crochet bags. For even the most humble crochet bag<\/strong> when fitted with a nice pair of handles,<\/strong> a beautiful strap<\/strong>, or a chain<\/strong> of the right tone, can transform into a fashion statement piece. Weird as it may sound the attitude and appearance of a bag may rest greatly on its handles.
\n\"\"
\nThere are several different types of bag handles. Shoulder handles, top handles, bracelet handles, metal frames, long and medium Straps, and many more. Handles are often closely related to a specific type of bag. For instance, a long leather strap goes hand in hand with a messenger bag, whereas webbing shoulder handles go together with backpacks.<\/p>\n

How do you attach a handle to a crochet bag?<\/span><\/h2>\n

To attach a pair of perforated leather handles to a crochet bag, simply follow the holes and hand sew the handles into place, using a simple backstitch technique. Use a needle that fits the holes of your handles and preferably the same yarn you used to crochet your bag.<\/p>\n

Cut a long strand of your yarn and fold it in half. Thread the cut ends into the eye of your needle. Insert your needle from the back and bring it to the front through one of the handle holes. Leave a small loop on the back.<\/p>\n

Bring your needle down through the previous hole and pass it through the loop on the back of the fabric. Bring the needle out one hole forward. Push the needle down through the previous hole. Bring the needle out one hole forward and then bring it down through the previous whole.<\/p>\n

Repeat until you fill every hole of the handle. Secure the yarn at the back of your work and cut the excess. Repeat for the other side of the bag after aligning the handle to the one sewed on the front of the bag.<\/p>\n
