Handles
So, here is how I'm making my handles for the crochet string bags.
Using the same size needle as for the rest of the bag, crochet 36 chains and join per the directions; single crochet back instead of double crochet.
When the bag is finished, take worsted weight cotton and a 5.00 mm hook. Chain 5 (starting chain), turn, sc in 3rd chain from hook, sc sc, ch 2 turn.
Continue rows of 3 sc until it is the length of the handle.
Then wrap it around the handle, and slip stitch the edges together, forming a cushy worsted weight cotton tube around the nasty hard handle.
