This doily is one of my first designs. I wanted to create an easy to crochet decorative item with a geometric theme. This crochet doily pattern is great for beginners, but experienced crocheters will also enjoy making it! The pattern uses a fingering weight 100% cotton yarn with a 3 mm crochet hook. This geometric doily will be perfect as a table center piece or a tea pot holder. So choose your favorite color and add a beautiful item for your home!

TagsPlastic Bag Holder - Free Crochet Pattern
Recently we made a move into a new house, as we were unpacking I began to collect a large pile of plastic grocery bags. I generally use this bags pretty often so I didn’t want to throw them away. That’s when I realized I didn’t have a bag holder to put them in. Moving can be pretty expensive so the last thing I wanted to do was purchase one knowing full well I could make one myself, so I did!
You can easily make this bag as long as you want to fit more grocery bags, my family is pretty small so I made a smaller bag holder. If you want a larger one just work more rounds in-between the increases/decreases.
I always recommend using cotton yarn when working an anything household related. For this pattern I used Peaches and Cream’s Cotton yarn which you can find HERE. They have so many colors to choose from!
