Plarn Picket Stitch Tote Bag

July 18, 2026 No comments yet

Just finished up this all white crocheted plarn tote bag using up a big bunch of plastic bags from Super 1. I believe I used up over 60 plastic retail grocery sacks that I have been saving.

This recycled tote bag uses my Picket Stitch tote pattern that is available free. The tote bag makes a wonderful beach bag which is just in time for the hot weather we are having. Finished size is 13 inches wide by 13 inches long with 9 inch handles.

Below is a closeup of the handles and picket stitching across.

Jumbo Plarn Beach Bag

January 14, 2011 6 comments


I present the jumbo plarn beach bag. This is the largest recycled plastic bag that I have ever crocheted. It measures 16 inches wide by 20 inches tall. It features a 30 inch long strap that you pull through the front opening to secure your beach bag closed. Then because the strap is long, you can throw it over your shoulder and off you can go.

So if you need a jumbo beach bag or maybe you want an extra large grocery tote, this plastic bag pattern will definitely fill your needs. It also allows you to use several different colors of recycled plastic bags for the stripes. The colorful stripes add a nice touch to the otherwise plain white bags that are so abundant.
