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 V-shapes 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 video’s I showed how to do the interlocking crochet™ technique. Look at the playlist for all video’s: 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
