How to Crochet a Romanian Cord

[@NullOminous]

You are a life-saver! I was so, so stuck trying to understand written instructions of how to do this for a bag strap. My brain couldn't comprehend it at all. Thank you so much for explaining this so efficiently!

[@StitchesnScraps]

Glad it helped! Sometimes you just need to SEE it :)

[@jennifertingelof-truecrime5890]

Same here, it was very confusing when it was written but I got it immediately after watching this video ^^

[@StitchesnScraps]

@@jennifertingelof-truecrime5890 yay! :)

[@macyzimmerman]

I just watched dozens of shorts trying to figure this out and it just was not clicking for me 😅 Your tutorial is perfect! No text for me to read while I’m also trying to watch someone do the stitch. Thank you for this!!!

[@StitchesnScraps]

You're welcome! so glad it worked for you :)

[@judilennon4908]

Great instructions. The only one that slowly and patiently took the time to explain this confusing procedure in explicit detail. I watched others and came back to this one. Then, suddenly, I got it!! Thank you for your talent and patience. Highly recommend!!

[@StitchesnScraps]

thank you for your comment! :)

[@cynthiadarmanin138]

Same here! I was so frustrated I couldn't get it, but you explained slowly and clearly and i finally got it! Thanks so much!

[@qwqk0xkx]

Your video was super easy to follow, and now I have a very nice cord for my bag! My pattern asked to crochet with two strands together, but even that was easy to figure out with the demonstration. Thanks a lot!

[@StitchesnScraps]

Nice! Those finishing touches make such a big difference in a project :)

[@helenawilliams2603]

The best tutorial on this subject. Thank you.

[@StitchesnScraps]

[@StitchesnScraps]

Yay! Glad to hear it worked for you :)

[@DonnadoosTips]

I watched a lot of tutorials on how to make Romanian cord and I love yours! You made it so easy💕 thankyou so much!!

[@StitchesnScraps]

yay! I'm glad you liked it :)

[@Faisure]

I truly make this all the time, it looks great and is really sturdy Awesome for makeshift belts or to suspend things from. Still can’t quite memorize the start though, so I keep coming back to this video every couple of weeks 😅

[@StitchesnScraps]

That's awesome! I have a few techniques like that myself (hemstitch in weaving comes to mind) :)

[@carterjeffiner]

I have struggled with this cord off and on for a year. It took just a few minutes to correct my problem after watching this video. Thank you!!

[@StitchesnScraps]

Yay! Sometimes it just takes a few different ways of seeing it before it finally clicks :-)

[@taniaelliott4078]

thanks for this simple video! I just spent hours trying to follow a different step by step tutorial and wondering why it just wasn't working. I watch this once and now understand it perfectly.

[@StitchesnScraps]

Yay! I'm glad this is the one that finally worked for you :)

[@patriciagechei8145]

You made it look so easy .. I shall try it and get back with you.. 🙂

[@StitchesnScraps]

Thanks!

[@crystalhewitt4652]

I loved loved these instructions. New to cording, using this one for cat or dog leash.

[@StitchesnScraps]

awesome! Are you using yarn? or a different material?

[@crystalhewitt4652]

@@StitchesnScraps I used 1 strand of yarn at first but then tore that apart and used 2. Worked great. No give in cord at all

[@StitchesnScraps]

@@crystalhewitt4652 nice! I would be interested to hear how it holds up over time with such a heavy-duty use.

[@crystalhewitt4652]

@@StitchesnScraps I have a feeling that it will do just fine. I crochet various things for different rescues so I won’t know that actual outcome

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. I got it now!! Thank you for teaching me.🥳

[@StitchesnScraps]

Yay! That's such a good feeling :)

[@fifichii]

Thank you for the clear instruction. ❤️

[@elizabethalfarano4142]

Hi Pia! Thank you so much for this, you made it so easy. Do you have a video showing how to properly attach the romanian cord to an attached d ring?

[@StitchesnScraps]

Thanks! :) I don't, but here's what I would do. I would leave the tails on the cord and not weave them in yet. Then I'd fold the end of the cord over the d ring and back on top of itself (like make a loop), so that it overlaps at least 1-2 inches. Then I'd use the tail to sew that down securely. If you don't like the way it looks at the end, you can cover up the join with a metal crimp.

[@cedieaqui]

Very interesting. Thank u for the thorough explanation.

[@StitchesnScraps]

you're welcome!

[@panoreapilarinos8938]

Great video it was explained perfectly and the video was very clear great job

[@StitchesnScraps]

Thanks!

[@KatyWatson173]

Just saw this on Twitter 6-1-19 this is so cool I love the braided look and it’s so much more interesting than an I-cord. 🙂👍😀

[@StitchesnScraps]

Thanks!

[@gaylecarmody]

Thank you so much. Very well explained

[@StitchesnScraps]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@lynescott8790]

Thank you so much for this easy to follow tutorial and tips! After watching many I was finally able to complete this cord which I wanted to make with hdc instead of sc 👍🏻🙂💙

[@StitchesnScraps]

cool, how did it work out for you? DId you go through the yo loop as well (so through 3 loops instead of 2) when making your stitches, or did you ignore it?

[@charlenes7378]

Thanks, you make it easy to understand.

[@maryannarobinsonn1199]

Can you make a bracelet out of this cord?

[@StitchesnScraps]

Sure, just sew the ends together 🙂

[@brookebaker6265]

​@@StitchesnScrapsFollow up question how long would you make it for a kids size?

[@StitchesnScraps]

@@brookebaker6265 I'm not sure off-hand, but I suggest looking at kids bracelets online and seeing if any of them have the size listed :) I'm sure it varies a bit but would give you a good idea.

[@anniedrews4849]

Great explanation! Thank you!

[@shera89]

This was so helpful! I'm working on a written pattern and the instructions with pictures for the Romanian cord were just not helping 😅 thanks!

[@StitchesnScraps]

Yep this is definitely one of those techniques you have to see once to wrap your head around! :)

Thank you.. I will try..

[@Alielttrstv]

Thank s

[@nohahossam9971]

How can i finish the cord?

[@StitchesnScraps]

Great question! :) You're left with 1 loop on the hook after every stitch, so just fasten off the way you would for any other crochet project. Cut the yarn (leaving a tail to weave in), and pull up on the loop to make it bigger until the tail comes all the way through. Then weave in the ends.
