Bean Stitch Crochet Strap | Free Crochet Pattern
This Bean Stitch crochet strap is great for projects where you need a long lightweight strap. Consider this strap for Phone pouches, wallets, and small purses. This strap would be perfect for our Free Phone Pouch Crochet Pattern!
This Bean Stitch strap pattern is unbelievably easy and works up pretty quickly. The bean stitch does take on quite a bit of yarn, so you’ll want to make sure you have enough yarn for your desired length.
How Much Does the Bean Stitch Strap Stretch
This strap has a decent amount of stretch due to skipping chains and chaining 2 at the end of each row. This is why I recommend this strap for lighter weight items.
Because of the stretch, this strap would be a good option to use across the body. You can also make the strap thicker if you want it to carry heavier items.
