Interlocking crochet : strap or band for a bag with beautiful sides

In this video I show how you can crochet a beautiful band or strap with interlocking crochet, which I used for a bag. Thes sides look very beautiful this way. I use for the setup the technique of working through the back bump of a chain row. For the top side I use a trick so that these nice Vshapes also get to the front, and I show how you can have the double crochets neatly going straight. And I also show how to do a first double crochet in a row by making 2 single crochets on top of each other. This bag is part of the Hooked and Locked Crochet Along, or in short the HAL CAL, about the interlocking crochet or mosaic crochet technique, to use up the leftover yarns. In the previous videos I showed how to do the interlocking crochet technique. Look at the playlist for all videos: Till about half of january 2019 the pattern is downloadable for free from my website, after that it s available in my Ravelry shop: https
