Here are a few Fall kitchen items that I crocheted for a upcoming Fall and Halloween charity sale.
Here is another photo showing the full towel. This towel topper was crocheted using the pointed handle towel topper pattern.
Here is a Fall themed potholder with a crocheted towel added.
I stitched across the potholder in a blanket stitch using a big needle for the first row as shown below.
The beads and diamonds pattern has been on my radar for several years now. I thought it would make a wonderful recycled plastic bag project. I wanted to recycle the black plastic bags that I have for the project. I have been saving black bags up in hopes of having enough to crochet the complete pattern, but sadly I didn’t have enough.
So I added some of the pink salmon plastic bags that newspapers come in. It added a nice contrast allowing me to finish the bag. I did have to shorten the top due to the lack of black plastic bags.
Many people ask me about the yardage when using recycled bags as plarn. These black retail-sized bags results were: 4 bags cut 3/4″ wide = 50 yards of plarn.
The free crochet pattern is found here. The original pattern is written for regular acrylic yarn or cotton so if crocheting with plastic bags isn’t your thing, use something else.
Here is one more photo of the bag hanging up.
