Plarn Shopping Bag

This eco-friendly bag is crafted using homemade plarn, made from recycled plastic bags, specifically Walmart bags, which are known for their thin and flexible nature. Please note that using thicker bags may alter your gauge, so keep this in mind while selecting your materials. The construction of the bag follows a straightforward bottom-up approach: first, a sturdy base is created, then stitches are picked up from all four sides of the base. The body of the bag is worked in garter stitch in the round, allowing for a beautiful texture and a durable finish. After achieving your desired length, a comfortable handle is added, followed by an i-cord for added stability and elegance. This pattern is not only a fun project for knitters of all levels, but it also promotes sustainability by repurposing plastic bags. Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift or a practical accessory for your own use, this plarn bag is a fantastic choice.
