Tutorial - Recycled Plastic Bottle Bag
This tutorial will show you how you can make this simple carry-all from a recycled plastic bottle.
This basic pattern can be altered in so many ways such as different color applications and combinations of different crochet stitches to give you a different look or design. Here I’ve posted a basic pattern using single crochet, double crochet and triple crochet. There are many great websites that teach how to do these simple stitches.
To make a bag like the one shown here you will need:
-One empty and clean plastic bottle, such as vinegar, bleach, detergent, etc. (I used a 2 QT vinegar bottle.)
-Approximately 2-3 oz. yarn (I used worsted weight cotton yarn)
-crochet hook (I used H/5mm) Make sure your hook is small enough to fit through your holes punched in the bottle.
-Hole punch and scissors
Steps
Viola!
Note-I chose to crochet in the round for a seamless look. Also–If you’re number of holes punched is an odd number that doesn’t exactly coordinate with the pattern-adjust to your needs. This pattern is very flexible and doesn’t really need to be concise with increases and number of stitches.)
*I don’t claim to be an expert at writing a crochet pattern, if you find the directions confusing or an error please let me know!
