  Cotton Plastic Bag Keeper

 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I couldn't find my plastic bag keeper, 

And the plastic bags were piling up.

 I grabbed some cotton yarn and stitched up another one,

 only bigger than the last one.

Now all the bags are neat and tidy, 

and easy to grab when needed.

You stitch up the plastic bag keeper holding 2 strands

 of cotton yarn together, so it's super sturdy.

I used Sugar And Cream Cotton Yarn in Warm 

Brown and Red. I used 2 colors, but you can use

 any color combination of your choosing. 

It's also a great way to use

 up let over cotton yarn.

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
