[Nfb-krafters-korner] attaching handle to knitted item?

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

 When I tried mine, I did an eye chord and put a bell and then continued directed on the loom.  I ended up with a gap, because of the bell, so I used the other end of the tail and made knots to fill in the spacing.   If I do it again, I will put the bell in another place on the eye chord and hopefully there will not be the big gap.  After making a few rows, knot your original tail to make your loop and weave in the ends.

This idea should also work with crochet.

Hello all,

 

I have completed two knitted Xmas stockings but I have been having difficulty attaching the handles which are crocheted chains. I do know to attach them from the inside of the stocking. But what type of stitch would work best to sew on the handle? Should I use the yarn from the chain, or cut additional yarn?  Any other suggestions that you believe would be helpful to me are welcome. I have tried twice in different ways but cannot secure it properly.

 

 

Thanks, Cathy
