A while back, my son needed a strap for his guitar. I thought I would make one. I wanted to make something strong and sturdy, so I chose a Tunisian stitch guitar strap crochet pattern. We were both very happy with the result!
You can make the Tunisian stitch guitar strap crochet pattern custom to the length you need, and it can be embellished with fun appliques if you wish. This project is perfect if you are learning Tunisian crochet. If you are looking for more Tunisian stitch practice, check out my Tunisian Stitch Belt Pattern.
