Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions

Step 1: Start with a Foundation Chain

1. Foundation Chain: Start with a chain that matches the width of the holder. For a medium-sized holder, chain 30–40 stitches (adjust based on desired width).
2. Join in the Round: Connect the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a loop, being careful not to twist the chain.

Step 2: Work the Body of the Bag Holder

This part of the holder will form a tube. Use your preferred stitch pattern, but for a slightly stretchy effect, alternating between single crochet and double crochet works well.

1. Round 1: Chain 1, work 1 single crochet in each stitch around. Slip stitch to join the round.
2. Round 2: Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), then work 1 double crochet in each stitch around. Slip stitch to join.
3. Repeat: Continue alternating rounds of single crochet and double crochet until the holder reaches your desired length (typically 12–15 inches).

Step 3: Create the Bottom Opening

To allow easy access for pulling bags out, we’ll create a small opening at the bottom with an optional elastic band or drawstring.

1. Last Few Rounds: Switch to single crochet for the last 3–5 rounds, making the fabric tighter and more compact.
2. Add Elastic (Optional): If you prefer a secure opening, sew in a piece of elastic on the last row. This will keep the bags from falling out but allow you to pull them out one at a time.

Step 4: Make the Top Opening

1. Top Rounds: After completing the main body, work 3–5 rounds of single crochet at the top for a sturdy edge.
2. Add Elastic or Drawstring (Optional): For a drawstring opening, crochet two small holes evenly spaced on the last row, then thread a piece of yarn or a ribbon through. This will allow you to cinch the top closed if desired-.

Step 5: Add a Hanging Loop

For convenience, add a small loop at the top of the bag holder for hanging.

1. Create a Loop: Chain 10–15 stitches directly at the top of the holder and secure with a slip stitch to the opposite side to form a loop.
2. Secure the Loop: Work single crochets along the chain to make the loop sturdy, then fasten off and weave in ends.

Finishing Touches

• Weave in Loose Ends: Use a yarn needle to tuck in any loose ends for a clean finish.
• Optional Decor: Add small crochet flowers, buttons, or other decorative elements to personalize your bag holder.
