I love bag keepers. They’re so quick and easy, and actually useful on top of that! They tend to stretch out after years of use, and while it’s not hard to replace it with a new one, I wanted to try adding some durability to make them a little more long-lasting. Using a ring at the bottom + a sturdy stitch has yielded great results! I hope you find it just as practical.

This pattern uses less than one skein of most acrylic worsted yarns, so it also makes a great stash-buster for those weird colors or less-than-soft yarns!

Can be easily modified for other sizes of ring, or in width/height of bag keeper. Suggestions included in pattern for all of these.
