Numerous types of needlework open up endless scope for imagination for craftswomen. For example, you can create the most unusual and non-standard things using unexpected and original materials in a familiar technique. An example of the use of non-standard materials in needlework is knitting bags and other products from plastic bags. The bag knitted from bags is durable, durable and beautiful; it is easy to wash and clean, and will certainly come in handy on the farm.
It is necessary
- - plastic bags
- - crochet hook
Instructions
Step 1
To knit a bag, you need three packs of plastic bags of the desired color and a hook number 5. Purchase reeled plastic bags intended for trash. They are large enough, inexpensive, soft and have a texture that is comfortable for knitting.
Step 2
Take the bag and fold it in half lengthwise, then fold it in half again to create a narrow strip. Then fold a few more bags in the same way and stack them on top of each other. Cut the stack into horizontal strips 3 cm thick.
Step 3
Spread the resulting polyethylene rings and connect them together with the gripping knots to form a one-piece polyethylene tape. Roll the resulting tape into a ball - the first ball of "yarn" is ready.
Step 4
Repeat all the above steps on the two remaining packs of bags - you should get three balls of polyethylene yarn.
Step 5
Knitting from such yarn is no different from knitting from ordinary and familiar wool - use a crochet to type 5-6 air loops made of polyethylene, close them in a circle, and then knit a row of single crochet in a circle, tying a ring of air loops and adding each row has three loops.
Step 6
Knit until you have a knitted tapered cap with a side angle of about 90 degrees. Make two cone-shaped pieces 30-32 cm high. Insert one piece inside the other to create a rectangular bag silhouette with concave edges, and then sew the joints of the bag walls with plastic thread.
Step 7
When the main part of the bag is ready, start making a handle. Cast on 6-8 stitches on the crochet and knit several single crochets in a circle. Continue to knit in a spiral pattern, forming a narrow tube and tucking the tape into it so that the handle does not stretch afterwards.
Step 8
Tie a 40 cm long handle and sew it to the bag. Decorate the bag with decorative elements and flowers knitted from bags of a different color using the same technique.
