Crochet and Knit Earth Day Tote
Project Upcycle SeriesCelebrate Earth Day with five eco-friendly crafts all week long! Just like Rumpelstiltskin could spin straw into gold, you can turn ugly plastic shopping bags into a beautiful and useful tote—without any magic! Plastic bags are cut into strips and linked together to make the plastic yarn used for this project. A pattern is available to crochet and knit this tote. Let’s prevent those old plastic bags from ending up in a landfill and make them into an attractive, durable handbag that can be used again and again! Click here to download the material list and instructions!
Check out the entire mini-series schedule below. All live events will be available for replay. If you make any of the projects from the series, share with us by using the hashtag #ShareCraftsy on social media!

Great Knit Earth Day Tote
I would like to learn how to knit, especially knit and purl stitches that make different designs in different patterns if at all possible!
These look like great gifts as bags to take to the grocery store.
