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.

Recycled Seahawks Tote Bag

I have had lots of time on my hands lately to crochet with all the stay-at-home orders. I thought it was time to break into my huge stash of plastic bags and crochet a new recycled plastic tote bag. This bag was crocheted using mainly white plastic retail bags made into plarn and I added blue and green yarn to give it a Seattle Seahawks color theme.

This tote bag was crocheted using my free ultimate recycled bag pattern. I added stripes using regular yarn by doing 3 blue HDC (half double crochet stitch) rows, 3 green HDC and then 3 more blue HDC rows along with plastic bag yarn to crochet this bag.

Finished size is 12″ wide by 13″ long with 7″ handles. I think it would make a nice book bag so I may donate it to the next library fundraiser. So in honor of my beloved Seahawks,
