Crochet Cord “Paper chain” – Crochet Craft Project
This fun colourful crochet project is made by making a number of crochet cords and joining them all together to form a chain.
You can find a full tutorial showing how to crochet the slip stitch cord here, but below is a summary, including a link to the video tutrial
How to crochet the quick slip stitch cord
Chain 3, join with slip stitch (ss) to the 3rd chain from hook
Work a ss through the single, top loop of each of the 3 chains.
Turning the cord as you go, work a sl st into the top (back) loop of each sl st and continue round and round and round until you achieve the length of chain you are looking for.
Mine each measure about 8in.
Fasten off, leaving a tail

How to join the cords to make a chain
Take your first starting cord and sew the ends together using the tails to create the first link.
Take the next cord and loop it through the first, sewing the ends together to create the next link.
Add the rest of the cords to the previous link to make your chain. Make as many cords as you want and you can add more as you go to increase the length.
