Instructions for making the plastic bag "yarn"

Note: The below instructions are for making the double thick "yarn" using the plastic bags, you will need to use a larger hook when using this method.

Lay the bag flat

Cut the handles and bottom seam off the bag

Fold the bag into a strip

Cut the bag into 1 1/2 - 2 inch pieces

connecting the rings place - one ring over the other

Take one end of the white bag and insert it into the other end

Pull tightly but not to tight or it will tear, this forms a knot which will not be seen when you crochet. Keep repeating the above and roll up your strips into your new ball of "yarn"

The above instructions are what you need to do to make the Plastic Bag Tote pattern.
