This sounds pretty fun for me to work on this weekend. Let me know if you want one!!
Length: to suit height of dog (and dog walker!)
Crochet Hook: I or J (or larger); 5.5 mm or 6.0 mm
Other Material: clasp (new ones are available at hardware stores, or use clasp from a broken or worn leash)
You’ll need 1 heavy plastic shopping bag for Dog Leash (we used a Barnes & Noble shopping bag, the sturdy kind with handles; but any strong plastic bag will work)
Cut off handles, then cut plastic bag into 2” wide strips.
Start with Handle: leave 5” tail, then start with slip knot, your first loop (see illustration); then crochet until you have a cord 11” long. Fold in half and crochet next loop through slip knot, then use tail from beginning together with strip you are working with and crochet next few chain stitches using both tail and strip together. Continue until entire length of tail is worked in, then continue with strip single and crochet until leash is desired length (from 30” to 50”, depending on height of dog).
Adding Clasp: work 2 to 3 stitches by pulling loop of strip through end of clasp (see illustration); then begin second row back towards beginning of leash. You may want to add second row along entire length (especially for a very strong dog) or just a few inches to secure clasp and finish leash.
