LOOM KNITTING Plastic Grocery Bag Holder Dispenser Storage Organizer Pattern

[@cathysanders5359]

I have had tried for years to figure out the figure 8 stitch on a round loom. You put it where I could do it. So THANK-YOU!!!!! Now I can do it.

[@LoomaHat]

Awesome!!!

[@adriennefein2284]

You’ve done it again Denise! Everybody’s always complaining that I have these bags underneath the kitchen sink. I couldn’t figure out where to put them when it’s been over 10 years. But you came up with this fabulous idea and now everybody’s going to get this drawstring bag holder so they can’t complain about me. Thank you again darlin you’ve done it again honey

Working on this one now. It’s so easy to understand!! Your videos are one of my top go-to’s for several reasons.... ease of understanding because you explain and demonstrate so well; cuteness because I like your style, colors and yarn choices; and usable and gift worthy results!! Just wanted to say thanks!!

Wow MaLinda - you just named everything I aim for when I think of a project. Thank YOU soooOOOOO much for the feedback you have totally made my year. Like I'm not even exaggerating. I got the giggles and everything.

Can I use loom 31 for a larger one but how do I get around peg 30 and 31 ... I'm lost, can you help? Thank you in advance.

[@SherylKatz]

Another fun project Denise!! You know I will knit this up!! A couple points...I have made these types of holders and covers in different ways and stitches. With elastic or pony tail band (can knit over peg & ponytail band) or without, either way tips are: Use cotton yarn, can be cotton blend as well especially if using for umbrella cover, add drawstring pull from i-cord(weave in and out either 1 way or 2 if 2 just weave each i-cord from opposite directions, meeting at the same side able to draw strings together). Last tip when stuffing bags take 2 min to half fold each bag into the next then roll them and stuff into holder which causes the bags to pull down the next bag at the ready for the next one needed. We'll worth the 2 min as if you do not you may have to get up into your holder to fetch and bring down next bag. Hope this makes sense. 🙏 💞💞🧶💞🧶

[@patriciawalls8933]

I love your idea about folding the bag but I can’t quite grasp what you mean. I guess that is why I like video demonstrations as I am a visual learner!😵‍💫🥰

[@lezliewhite6053]

I don't understand what you mean by i-cord? I'm a beginner at this and still don't know all the terminology

[@SherylKatz]

@@patriciawalls8933 Are you asking about the part with the elastic?? If so there are a few ways to add elastic or a ponytail holder on the loom. If you would like, send me a PM on FB msngr and I can help with that. We can use pics or videos etc. Happy to help.💞🧶😊

[@SherylKatz]

@@lezliewhite6053 i-cord is actualky used in the pattern above. It's cording we can make on a few pegs on the loom. In this pattern Denise shows i-cord as the loop used to hang up this project. I was explaining another way to use it as a drawstring closure. I hioe this answers your question. I love new loom knitters!! Yayy!!!💞🧶🧶😊

[@ΧριστίναΜαγουλα-β1ξ]

This is a great project and gift idea. Made one and came out perfect. Decided I needed a bigger one so know I'm making one on my 31 peg loom. Was not sure how that was going to work because after I started I realized this is not an even loom .😱. So far it's going fine. Will be back to tell you if the stitch is different 🤔 So it's working out fine on 31 peg..I thought it would be something different in the end but it's the same. Someone mentioned using cotton. I have some roap that is the thickness of a 4ply yarn that is really great for these kind of projects. Works well on the loom have tried it. Anyway loving this ... Thanks Denise for all the great stuff you teach us...🤶🎅

[@LoomaHat]

Hey - how did it work out on the 31 ?

[@marielacortes479]

Thanks for the inspiration! Had previously made it on the 24, but also wanted a larger one and it worked awesome on the 31 peg loom!

[@DoubleCrochet-DIANA-]

Denise, I love your tutorials! I have learned so much from you! I know this is an old video, but I found it in your list... I'm going to try to do this with macrame cord on the loom (I have thin cord). Also wanted to ask if you can make a video of onion and potato hanging bags (with larger holes) idk but thank you for teaching me so much!

[@lisaj8758]

This is the closest pattern I have found for what I want to make (although I think I will be making this bag holder too) I want to make a pillow in this shape. I have an odd couch that is missing it's original pillows that went at either end and a cylinder shaped pillow will work well. So, I'm going to make it larger (50 pegs) than this pattern but I plan to do the same stitches you used. My question is, at either end where you U-Knitted, I want to draw them closed so I'm guessing I need to do more rows of U-Knit, Would you agree? I probably have to do a sample to see what my diameter will be so I know how much U-Knit.

I am a beginner and want to try to make this but have a question. Instead of the 8 stitch for the body can you do a alternating full e wrap and pearl pattern like one full row of e wrap followed by one full row of pearls.

[@LoomaHat]

Yep, you can, you might need to add more rows because the figure 8 is a large and loose stitch.

[@Sshavonne]

Where can I get the pattern? I know as you go you tell what to do but I like to see it all together

[@hms9553]

Thankyou so much for your videos ❤ I saw that your ends don’t curl at all The beginning of my project is fully curled. How do I prevent that ? And how can I fix it? Thanks so much 😊

You might need to tighten the cast-on or block the fabric. I prefer to steam block.

Nope. The button is only for decoration. It has no practicle use.

Love this stitch, I'm reasonably new to loom knitting and making one of these now. Can this stitch be used to make a blanket and would I need more yarn then for a 10 stitch? Denise, thank you for the videos, they are easy to follow and help my confidence in looming.

[@catherineportland503]

This stitch figure 8 is good for scarves and hats too

Hi, can this be done with a rectangular loom?

[@LoomaHat]

If your rectangular loom has continuous pegs in other words, there are pegs on the two edges then - yes. If the two edges are blank then - no.

[@rhondarea9929]

sorry I am still new with the loom knitting. I can't do that figure 8. can I use purl

You can but I recommend using a larger loom and adding more rows because the Purl stitch is smaller.

[@lezliewhite6053]

@@LoomaHat hi Denise, well I made it and it was harder than I thought it would be. The cotton has NO stretch capabilities, so I was constantly loosening while doing the figure 8.

Can you please show us how to count the rows on an almost finished project ? I didn’t keep track and don’t know how many I’ve done already😳

[@ArDeeMee]

You look at the right side and count. Use some scrap yarn to mark every tenth row. And next time you do that from the start, marking every 5 or 10 rows, or how many else make the most sense for you. I have the little plastic clip stitch markers, but you could use scrap yarn, hair pins or whatever you have lying around that won‘t break the yarn and can be removed after you‘re finished. Practice makes perfect. ;)
