Japanese Knot Recycled Bag
Here is a new recycled plastic bag yarn project. This pattern is called a Japanese Knot bag as it features 2 handles. One long and one shorter, which closes by sliding the longer handle through the shorter one as shown. The Japanese-styled bags are often times made smaller and worn over the wrist.
This tote bag is crocheted using recycled plastic bags made into yarn known as plarn. It can be worn over the wrist or also draped over your shoulder.
Here is the free Japanese Knot Bag pattern written using plarn but it also can be crocheted using bulky yarn or 2 strands of worst weight yarns held together.
The finished size of this recycled tote bag is 12 inches tall by 12 inches wide. The main bag was crocheted using brown Safeway bags cut 1 inch wide. The pinkish-stripes were crocheted using newspaper bags also cut 1 inch wide and made into plarn using these plarn-making tutorials.
I used nearly 50 recycled plastic bags to crocheted this Japanese-styled tote bag. The Japanese Knot adds a different and unique closure on the bag. So if you are looking for a new twist for your recycled crafting, you might give this Japanese Knot Bag pattern a try.
