 This is a simple bag strap. I used a 8 ply cotton yarn and a 5 mm hook. You can use just about any type of yarn and hook size.  The tutorial video :  I start with a foundation chain of 5. Then, just like Tunisian stitch, pull up a loop from the 2nd stitch from the hook and leave the yarn on the hook. Do the same on the next three stitches until you have 5 loop on your hook.  Now yarn over and put thru one, then yarn over and put thru 1, then yarn over and put thru 4, then yarn over and put thru 1 and yarn over and put thru 2. That completes row 2,  Next row, go to the space area and yarn over and and leave the yarn on the hook. Next, yarn over from the next stitch and leave it on the hook. Next, yarn over from the space area and leave the yarn on the hook. Lastly, yarn over from the last stitch, and leave the yarn on the hook. Once you have 5 loops on the hook, repeat the above until you come to the length that you want. Refer to tutorial video for better understanding. Do subscribe t

 This pattern I used cotton yarn. You can use a multicolor yarn or 2 different color yarn or maybe just one color. I used a 5 mm hook since I am using 5 ply cotton yarn.  I start with a chain 180, that is from the front panel all the way to the back panel. The 2nd row, chain 2, do a double crochet (dc) on the 4th chain from the hook. Chain 2 and do a dc in the same stitch. Skip 2 and do a dc on the next and chain 2 follow by a dc on the same stitch. Repeat until the end.  Once on the next row, chain 3 and do a dc in the chain space, chain 2 and dc in the same chain space. Do dc in the next chain space, chain 2 and dc in the same.
