I am sharing a tutorial of Tunisian crochet cord that you can use to make variety of projects. You can use any color you want and can also switch colors while creating this cord.
This tutorial shows you how to make a strong, beautiful cord using Tunisian crochet — a technique that’s simpler than it looks and perfect for adding a polished, handmade touch to your projects. The cord is worked in a narrow strip using just a few stitches, but the result is a dense, round, and flexible rope-like structure. It’s ideal for bag straps, drawstrings, keychains, bracelets, or even handles for pouches and small baskets. Because it’s made with Tunisian crochet, the cord holds its shape better than traditional chain cords and has a distinctive, tidy texture.
The video walks you through the process slowly, starting with the foundation row and explaining how to use a regular hook (no special Tunisian hook needed for this narrow cord). You’ll see exactly how to work the forward and return passes, and how to keep the edges neat as the cord grows. The repetition is relaxing, and once you get the rhythm, the stitch pattern becomes second nature — making this a perfect project for crocheters who want something useful and satisfying that doesn’t take a lot of time.
The tutorial may also include tips on how to adjust the thickness of the cord by changing your hook size or yarn weight, and how to finish off the ends cleanly so they’re ready to sew onto other projects. Whether you’re adding a professional touch to a crochet bag or just want a quick, fun project that shows off the beauty of Tunisian crochet, this cord is a great technique to have in your toolbox.
