Recycled "Plastic Bag" Bag Pattern

this pattern assumes you have pre cut, connected and rolled "plastic bag" yarn.

With I hook
Foundation row: Chain 15.
Round 1: sc in second chain from hook and in each chain across to 2nd chain.
3 sc in first chain and sc in each ch on foundation row. 2 sc in last chain. slip stitch to beginning sc.
chain 1.
Round 2: SC in each sc around except the middle sc in the( 3 sc clump) on the ends. 3 sc need to be put there. This will increase your bottom while allowing it to remain slightly flat. slilp stitch to first sc. chain 1
Round 3, 4 and 5: repeat round 2
Round 6: Working in front loops only this round.. Sc in each front loop of each sc around. No increases. This makes the bag take shape. No need to slip stitch to first sc.. Just mark your rows..
Round 7 thru 22: In both loops sc in each sc around.
You can make this as tall as you like...
End round: Slip stitch around and tie off.

Lay your bag flat.. Mark off the end 5 stitches on each side. You will be crocheting into these 10 stitches only.. the rest will be skipped..

Handles..
Round 1: Attach your "yarn" to the first sc in one of your marked 5 sc's. sc in those 5, chain 50, sc in next 5 marked sc's, chain 50 and attatch to first sc.
Round 2: Sc in first 5 stitches, ss in next 50 ch's, 5 sc, ss in next 50 ch's.
Round 3 and 4: SC in each stitch around both loops.
At end of round 4 finish off. Test your bag out and see how it works for you.

Feel free to adjust the pattern in any way you choose. This is just meant as a guidline..
