The 2-color cord is a great alternative to the crochet i-cord because it’s easier to make without having to remove one’s crochet hook. By using 2 colors, you can create an interesting pattern cord to use as a bag strap, belt or gift tie. Change how you switch the colors, and create a different looking cord.

Below you will find two versions of the 2-color cord. Grab some scrap yarn to begin practicing today!

The 2-color cord was used to make the body and wrist straps for the Diamonds Crossbody Clutch. It can also be used for the belt of the X-capade Poncho. It makes a great alternative strap for the Boho Belt Bag too!
