This is a little pocket to put a rolled/folded up recycled plastic shopping bag, which then can be put in your handbag or purse.

Many shops now days don’t supply bags. I often have a scrunched up recycled bag in my hand bag but I found that I was forever rummaging to find that plastic bag. So I thought a crocheted shaped pocket would be great.

Any 4ply fingering yarn can be used.
I have used scraps of sock yarn and also crochet cotton.

Two versions are available-

• American crochet terminology
• UK/Australian/International crochet terminology

At the end of the pattern for the USA terms, I have explained how the pattern can be adapted to be made larger by using maths.
