How to crochet an easy cord

In this DROPS video we show how easy you can crochet a cord. Crochet up 1 loop in 3 stitches where you want the cord to start, eg in the edge of a bag.

How to crochet a cord with 2 strands / 2 colours

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a cord with 2 strands / 2 colours.
