Well, I have finally jumped on board the craft blog train. Welcome to Hooks and Needles. Hopefully I'll remember to update this on a regular basis. For now a picure and a pattern. I found several patterns for these the other day when I was searching for a felting pattern. I naturally jumped at the chance to use an unusual medium, and got rid of some of the grocery bag surplus in the back room.
The Bag of Bags
Materials
"Yarn" Made from loops of plastic bags
US Size 15 circular needles
A tapestry needle with a larger eye
CO 80 st, Join being careful not to twist stitches
Row 1-3 Knit
Row 4 K15 BO10 K30 BO10 K15
Row 5 K15 CO10 K30 CO10 K15
Continue knitting every row until you reach the desired depth, mine was shorter only because I ran out of plastic bags I'm allowed to use. Once you have it as long as you want to make it BO all stitches. Fold in half with the handles in the center, turn inside out and sew seam using prefered stitch. Turn rightside out and you're ready to go!
Yeah, the pattern is short. I like to keep them short and sweet so they're easy to memorize. I hate carrying a pattern around everywhere, so the easier something is to memorize the more I like it.
