Introduction

Welcome back to my channel! Today, we're going to create a practical and stylish plastic bag holder. This DIY project is perfect for organizing your plastic bags and keeping them within easy reach. In this article, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating your very own plastic bag holder. Let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials ready:

• Yarn (any color)
• Scissors
• Darning needle
• Rubber band
• 5mm crochet hook

Step 1: Creating the Base

To start, we will create the base of the plastic bag holder. Begin by making a slip knot on your crochet hook. Pick up a rubber band and place 30 single crochets inside the rubber band, working around it as if you were making single crochets in a magic circle. This will be round one.

Continue placing 30 single crochets around the rubber band. Once you have completed the round, slip stitch into the first single crochet and chain two (the chain two does not count as a stitch). In the same stitch, make one double crochet. In the next four stitches, make one double crochet in each. In the fifth stitch, make two double crochets. Repeat this pattern all the way around. Slip stitch into the first double crochet to end the round.

Step 2: Adding Rows

Now, we will add rows to the base of the plastic bag holder. For the next three rounds (rounds four through six), make one double crochet in the same spot as the chain two, and then make one double crochet in each stitch around. You should have a total of 42 stitches around at the end of each row.

Continue adding rows in this manner until you have completed 25 rows. Slip stitch into the first double crochet of the last row and chain two. This will form the height of the plastic bag holder.

Step 3: Creating the Hanging Loop

For the next few rounds (rows eight through 25), we will be creating the hanging loop of the plastic bag holder. Start by chaining one, then insert your hook between the two double crochets of the previous row. Make a double crochet in that space, then chain one. Skip the next double crochet and make another double crochet in the following chain one space. Repeat this pattern all the way around.

Continue this pattern for rows eight through 25, making one double crochet in each chain one space and skipping the double crochets. Once you have completed row 25, slip stitch into the first double crochet and chain two.

Step 4: Finishing Touches

In the next round (row 26), make one double crochet in each stitch and chain one space all the way around. Slip stitch into the first double crochet to end the round.

For the next round, simply make one double crochet in each stitch around. Slip stitch into the first double crochet and chain one.

To create the loop for hanging the plastic bag holder, chain 30. Slip stitch into the first single crochet and chain one. Fasten off by pulling the yarn through and pulling it tight. Weave in the loose end by going through several stitches and securing it.

Conclusion
