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!

This simple mesh bag holds your supply of plastic grocery bags for storage. Put them to good use before they go into a landfill! You'll use just a tiny bit of yarn, much less than a full skein of kitchen cotton, and a comfy I/9 5.5mm crochet hook. There are instructions for a nail hook at the top, and an optional button loop at the bottom if you wish to close it. These quick and easy projects make great gifts for housewarming, or even quick craft fair projects, as they really work up in a flash. Free PDF download available on my blog.

With all the crochet Christmas trees you'll be making, add a few crocheted animals in the mix to spice things up for your festive decor. The pattern by Birds and Crickets includes patterns for a racoon, deer, owl, bear, penguin and fox.

This Moroccan Garden Free Crochet Pattern creates beautiful boho-style floral crochet tiles. The pattern includes instructions for half- and quarter-tiles for squaring off your afghan. They really look stunning, especially in these bright colors. They could be made into afghans, scarves, cushion covers, bags, throws, shawls or anything you like. There are so many possibilities. The tiles are easy to make, and after joining, you'll have a gorgeous, detailed-looking end result. You can make ANY size blanket by adjusting the number of tiles. Enjoy.
