Crochet Hook: G/6 or 4 mm hook

Primary Technique: Crochet 

Yarn Weight: (4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4
inches) 

Easy

Materials:

*	Size G hook
*	WW yarn
*	Small elastic hair tie

Instructions:

Round 1: ch 3 (with the starting loop over the elastic), 20 dc around the elastic band. Sl st to top of ch 3.
Round 2: ch 3, dc in the back loop of each dc. join with a sl st.
Round 3-6 (or however big you want it): ch 3. dc around. join with sl st.
To Finish: sc 2 together around until it is closed. That is just the method I used. You can close it off like you could a hat as an option.
Handle: ch 7. dc across. join with sl st to top of bag, wherever you prefer.
keep dc  until desired length. I added a dog bone button and the space between the dc was enough of a button hole for it!

 

If you want to place this around your waist, instead of the handle directions, crochet length around your waist with half crocheted on one side and half on oppisit side. Add a velco closure and you are ready to go. For this waist band use about 3 rows around to secure it around you.
