Easy Plastic Bag Keeper 

Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

I save all my Plastic Shopping bags. I use them for

 small trash can liners, dog poo bags,

and I also use them for lots of other uses.

I wanted an easy crochet pattern for keeping them hung up

 and out of the way, but still within reach.

This is what I came up with.

I chose To make mine out of a Cotton Blend, But Any Cotton yarn, Acrylic yarn or Blend yarn will work for this pattern. 

I had the Comfy Cotton Blend cakes on hand, 

so I used those. They are a (3) But feel more like a (4) to me.

The Light Brown is Fireside and

 The Light Green is Spring Meadow
