Special Thank You to my Mom for sharing this project with us.
Items needed for the project:
• Plastic Bags - LOTS and LOTS of bags
• Size “Q” Crochet Hook
• Scissors
• Alcohol Wipes
• Hand Sanitizer
• Trash Can
Help to learn how to create the crochet stitches:
• Learn to Crochet: 5 Ba...
Directions to make PLARN:
• Flatten the plastic shopping bag - using bottom seam and handles to get flat as possible
• Fold the flatten bag length wise
• Trim off the bottom seam and the bag handles
• Fold the remaining piece in half and cut
• Then fold in half again and cut again - yielding 4 pieces from each bag
• Lay one loop end over another loop end and then pull - but not too tight
• Loop several bags together and then wind into a plarn ball
Directions for the MAT:
• Chain stitch 47
• Make a ½ double in the 2nd stitch - then add ½ doubles in the remaining stitches in the row
• At the end of the row, chain 2 stitches, then turn and add ½ double in the 45 remaining stitches
• Repeat rows until desired size is created (ours was 6’x3’)
Directions for the STRAP:
• Chain stitch 90
• Slip stitch into 1st chain stitch (creates the loop/circle)
• Chain 2
• Make a ½ double in each chain stitch
• At the end of the row, use slip stitch to fasten the plarn
Wash hands and use hand sanitizer often.
We work with our local Homeless Coalition to get mats to folks who need them.
