@A Moms Choice – hi there! the handle is made of exactly the same structure, a twirl. As I explain in the post:

‘make longer pieces of twirl (simply start with a chain length to match the desired final length). Once completed, twist the twirl around its own axis several times to achieve a denser structure and stitch to the sides of a bag as a unique and stylish handle’.

@Awesome Person – what an awesome username!
Yes, the finished look is definitely fancy-looking, though the technique is very simple and easy to do. Where do you plan to use your crocheted twirls?

@Sabe – yes, that’s right. End each row with 2dc in the last dc. Twirly keyrings and earrings sound great! I wonder what else you’ll come up with

@Gaynelle – no, each colour is a separate row. You may want to experiment with up to three or four colours, doing only one row of each colour.

So to end the second row, do you do two DC in the turning chain? This is a great pattern and looks great on a keychain. I’ve already made three so far and wanted to make sure. I planning on making earrings out of two of them and seeing how they turn out.

On the two color yarn scarf, did you use two yarns together?

I made these back in the late 70′s for my daughter’s dance class to be worn on the “pigtails” or “dogears” (hair parted in center all the way down and gathered in hairtie on each side). All the mothers would sit at competition and make them in the colors needed for a certain costume. As I recall, we even sold some to other dance studios. I have often thought of them, but just could not remember exactly how they are made – now I know. Thanks.

@Donna – You’re welcome! I’ve made some necklaces in the same way, too.

Great looking “twirls!” I use this idea with single crochet and create “spiral” necklaces. Thanks for sharing, Donna
