Recycled Plastic Fat Bottom Bag | My Recycled Bags.com
I present my plarn fat bottom bag that I crocheted using recycled plastic newspaper bags. You may remember me saying that it is difficult for me to obtain pretty colors in plastic bags for my crafting. Well thanks to a suggestion from a blogger friend, I asked my local library to save their newspaper bags for me. They have been giving me one pink and one orange plastic bag daily from their newspapers. You may notice that the pink shade on the last few rounds of the bag and handles are darker. As I mentioned this is my first fat bottom crocheted bag. Below you will find some pictures I took as I worked the pattern. Click on any of the photos to supersize them Here is shell started and also a photo after the base shell was completed. Here is the lining pinned in place before the gathering and the handles are crocheted. My Fat Bottom Bag Flap: Several people have asked about the flap I added and wanted instructions on how to create this flap. Mark the center 12 stitches on bag opening.

Produce Bag- FREE Crochet Pattern • Joy of Motion Crochet
This produce bag is one of my favorite items to make. It is one of four Green Living patterns by Knottie Hooks that will be featured here on the Joy of Motion Crochet Blog over the next few weeks! They work up very fast and you can do so much with them. I take them with me everywhere and use them for all kinds of things. They hold my daughters princesses, you know the ones you get at the register? I use them for my produce (obviously) and love that all I have to do is put them in the fridge or in their special little basket on the counter and not worry about the moisture getting to my food and causing accelerated rot. I use a lightweight yarn such as Ganxxet or Premier Cotton Fair and the bag only weighs about 1.2 oz, if following the pattern, therefore you need not worry about extra cost in weight to your produce at the check out! So I grabbed my hook, and some lightweight yarn I’ve had lying around for a while and went to town! Calculate how long it takes to crochet that. Yarn used:
crochet ric-rac
Hey there! What are you up to this fine Monday morning? Since my post last week, I've had so many emails and comments asking about the recipe for homemade, hooked ric-rac, that I thought I'd do a little how to. Before we start there are a few things to keep in mind. I am using US crochet terminology.I usually use a size 2 hook but its fun to experiment. STEP ONE - Chain four. STEP TWO - dc into the fourth chain from the hook, ie. the first chain you made. STEP THREE - Do another dc into the same chain as in step two, chain, then do a final dc into the same chain. STEP FOUR - Chain three. STEP FIVE - Turn your work so that the crochet you just did is up the top as per the photo. Then do two dc's, chain and another dc into the chain space from the previous round. Then chain three. and turn. STEP SIX - Repeat step five until you reach your desired length. Always ch3 after each cluster and then turn. Fasten off. Here's the whole thing again in crochet language; Chain 4 (only this once) See ya!
