It might be difficult because it is designed to be split into six strands. A hook might tend to go through the floss instead of catching it. Also, there are very small scaines. It would take a lot to crochet anything, but since I rarely crochet, I may be wrong. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 8/15/2025 7:09 AM, Tracy Carcione via NFB-Blind-Crafters wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I was looking at some granny square patterns, and I saw one for a phone bag that uses floss.
