You’ve done it again Denise! Everybody’s always complaining that I have these bags underneath the kitchen sink. I couldn’t figure out where to put them when it’s been over 10 years. But you came up with this fabulous idea and now everybody’s going to get this drawstring bag holder so they can’t complain about me. Thank you again darlin you’ve done it again honey
I love making bag holders. I do a garter stitch for the first few rows and the last few rows and I do a basket weave for the body or a knit for body. They make great house warming gifts and craft fair sellers.
Working on this one now. It’s so easy to understand!! Your videos are one of my top go-to’s for several reasons.... ease of understanding because you explain and demonstrate so well; cuteness because I like your style, colors and yarn choices; and usable and gift worthy results!! Just wanted to say thanks!!
Wow MaLinda - you just named everything I aim for when I think of a project. Thank YOU soooOOOOO much for the feedback you have totally made my year. Like I'm not even exaggerating. I got the giggles and everything.
Another fun project Denise!! You know I will knit this up!! A couple points...I have made these types of holders and covers in different ways and stitches. With elastic or pony tail band (can knit over peg & ponytail band) or without, either way tips are: Use cotton yarn, can be cotton blend as well especially if using for umbrella cover, add drawstring pull from i-cord(weave in and out either 1 way or 2 if 2 just weave each i-cord from opposite directions, meeting at the same side able to draw strings together). Last tip when stuffing bags take 2 min to half fold each bag into the next then roll them and stuff into holder which causes the bags to pull down the next bag at the ready for the next one needed. We'll worth the 2 min as if you do not you may have to get up into your holder to fetch and bring down next bag. Hope this makes sense. 🙏 💞💞🧶💞🧶
I love your idea about folding the bag but I can’t quite grasp what you mean. I guess that is why I like video demonstrations as I am a visual learner!😵💫🥰
@@patriciawalls8933 Are you asking about the part with the elastic?? If so there are a few ways to add elastic or a ponytail holder on the loom. If you would like, send me a PM on FB msngr and I can help with that. We can use pics or videos etc. Happy to help.💞🧶😊
@@lezliewhite6053 i-cord is actualky used in the pattern above. It's cording we can make on a few pegs on the loom. In this pattern Denise shows i-cord as the loop used to hang up this project. I was explaining another way to use it as a drawstring closure. I hioe this answers your question. I love new loom knitters!! Yayy!!!💞🧶🧶😊
I really appreciate your totorial on this plastic bag holder. Your instructions were easy to follow and I was able to make this for my granddaughters 1st apartment. I'm excited to give this to her this weekend. Thank you and I'll be looking forward to your other tutorials 😊
I love love love it when my patterns are used as gifts especially the grands ☺️. I try really hard to choose things that can be used that way. Thank you so much for sharing with me 💛🌼💛
I’ve been looming for years and always loved your voice. It’s calming, gentle and encouraging. The added touch of the notations on the figure 8 is wonderful. Have you thought of doing a Masters Class?
First and foremost, Thank YOU Cadynna for you kind words and Yep I have considered a Master Class- it is on my bucket list. I just have 6 items before that one. Stay tuned my friend
I will buy or make a gift for my sister's birthday so I think I could use it to put the gift on it . Thank u 4 sharing this awesome project and thank u again 4 sharing ur talent.
This is a great project and gift idea. Made one and came out perfect. Decided I needed a bigger one so know I'm making one on my 31 peg loom. Was not sure how that was going to work because after I started I realized this is not an even loom .😱. So far it's going fine. Will be back to tell you if the stitch is different 🤔 So it's working out fine on 31 peg..I thought it would be something different in the end but it's the same. Someone mentioned using cotton. I have some roap that is the thickness of a 4ply yarn that is really great for these kind of projects. Works well on the loom have tried it. Anyway loving this ... Thanks Denise for all the great stuff you teach us...🤶🎅
I love your videos and use them often, thank you so much. I just finished my first try on "plastic bag holder dispenser" and the finished product turned out better than I thought BUT the only problem is that it is small, too small. Can I use loom 31 for a larger one but how do I get around peg 30 and 31 ... I'm lost, can you help? Thank you in advance.
I love it!!! Going to make some as Christmas gifts!! And as always I just love your creativity!! You'll always have my support Hermana!! Hugs and blessings!!
Denise, I love your tutorials! I have learned so much from you! I know this is an old video, but I found it in your list... I'm going to try to do this with macrame cord on the loom (I have thin cord). Also wanted to ask if you can make a video of onion and potato hanging bags (with larger holes) idk but thank you for teaching me so much!
Thank YOU for the Thank you HelloKitty01, I really appreciate it ! And get comfortable with the Uwrap it will open up a whole new world of projects you will LOVE - I promise!
@@LoomaHat P.S for the strap to hang I braided it I don't have the picture anymore otherwise I'd use that as a reference I made it for my Aunt because she was just using a market bag to hold her bags before
I LOVE this pattern! I really like the look. I am having trouble with the top being too tight. Am I doing something wrong or is there a different stitch I can try?
This is the closest pattern I have found for what I want to make (although I think I will be making this bag holder too) I want to make a pillow in this shape. I have an odd couch that is missing it's original pillows that went at either end and a cylinder shaped pillow will work well. So, I'm going to make it larger (50 pegs) than this pattern but I plan to do the same stitches you used. My question is, at either end where you U-Knitted, I want to draw them closed so I'm guessing I need to do more rows of U-Knit, Would you agree? I probably have to do a sample to see what my diameter will be so I know how much U-Knit.
Love this stitch, I'm reasonably new to loom knitting and making one of these now. Can this stitch be used to make a blanket and would I need more yarn then for a 10 stitch? Denise, thank you for the videos, they are easy to follow and help my confidence in looming.
@@LoomaHat you are very welcome! I learned how to loom watching your videos. You give amazingly detailed and easy to follow instructions and you don’t rush through things. I appreciate you!
Thankyou so much for your videos ❤ I saw that your ends don’t curl at all The beginning of my project is fully curled. How do I prevent that ? And how can I fix it? Thanks so much 😊
I found the solution in one of your other videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. A lot of You Tubers don't. Love your channel. God bless :).
I am a beginner and want to try to make this but have a question. Instead of the 8 stitch for the body can you do a alternating full e wrap and pearl pattern like one full row of e wrap followed by one full row of pearls.
@@LoomaHat hi Denise, well I made it and it was harder than I thought it would be. The cotton has NO stretch capabilities, so I was constantly loosening while doing the figure 8. That all said, it came out beautifully and I have 3 more to make the same way. Thanks so much for your guidance and I have to watch the video each time I make it lol.
What kind or weight yarn do you use? I started this project but it looked weird and I stopped cause I think my yarn was too thin. There was a link in the description for yarn but it just took you to all the yarn on Amazon. If anyone could help that would be great. I want to do this one but with the right yarn. Thank you.
You look at the right side and count. Use some scrap yarn to mark every tenth row. And next time you do that from the start, marking every 5 or 10 rows, or how many else make the most sense for you. I have the little plastic clip stitch markers, but you could use scrap yarn, hair pins or whatever you have lying around that won‘t break the yarn and can be removed after you‘re finished. Practice makes perfect. ;)
Many stores here in Canada have stopped using plastic bags. What else can this be used for? Edit: Sorry, I just can't do this. The loops get so tight that it hurts my hands and fingers. I guess I have to stay with crochet and Tunisian crochet.
Yeah - it happens sometimes. I need to work on the set up again. We moved and I haven't been able to get the same results in the new place. Sorry abou that.
I am totally blind and have just started limiting. I love your videos as you describe everything so well verbally that I can follow along.
Amanda - thank YOU THANK YOU so much for your feedback. It means a great deal to me. 💛💛💛

You might need to tighten the cast-on or block the fabric. I prefer to steam block.
@@LoomaHat thanx a lot for replying
I’ll try that 🥰
Thank you for such a wonderful project! Mine turned out really cute☺. My stitches were a little loose on the opening. Any tips?
Did you use 2 strands?
Yes ma'am. Maybe I didn't tighten it enough?
I found the solution in one of your other videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. A lot of You Tubers don't. Love your channel. God bless :).
Can I use the pattern of the tube sock to make a bag holder
Yes but remember that you need an opening on the top and the bottom
Just asking a question do you have any other videos on different bag holders with the unwrap cast on and and how to bind off to to a icord
sorry I am still new with the loom knitting. I can't do that figure 8. can I use purl
You can but I recommend using a larger loom and adding more rows because the Purl stitch is smaller.
can you use red heart yarn for the project? that is all I have at the moment.
Hi Cindy - yes - that’s actually the brand I use the most. 🙂
Denise hi love what other stitch could I use to do this? I hope your doing well!!
Hey Girlfriend ! Nice to hear from you. Personally if I were to make again - I would use some version of the basketweave.
I am a beginner and want to try to make this but have a question. Instead of the 8 stitch for the body can you do a alternating full e wrap and pearl pattern like one full row of e wrap followed by one full row of pearls.
Yep, you can, you might need to add more rows because the figure 8 is a large and loose stitch.
Hi, can this be done with a rectangular loom?
If your rectangular loom has continuous pegs in other words, there are pegs on the two edges then - yes. If the two edges are blank then - no.
Denise, can you tell me how long your bag holder is?
Do you have to add the button? I don't really want to go to the store for a singular button.
Nope. The button is only for decoration. It has no practicle use.
Denise for this project can you combine cotton and acrylic yarns??
Wow Lezlie I had that exact thought. I actually think cotton (because it doesn't flex) should be used. Let me know how yours turns out.
@@LoomaHat hi Denise, well I made it and it was harder than I thought it would be. The cotton has NO stretch capabilities, so I was constantly loosening while doing the figure 8. That all said, it came out beautifully and I have 3 more to make the same way.

Where can I get the pattern? I know as you go you tell what to do but I like to see it all together
I love this idea, such a great gift for someone!🙌🏻😘
good idea❤️
Thank you! 😊
Can I make this with a 31 peg loom?
Yep 👍🏽
can this be made with a single bulky yarn?
Yes - best to use a #6 bulky
What is the button for?
Instead of the drawstring cast on ,can I do anything else
You can but you should practice the drawstring c/o. It’s a great technique to know and will come in handy for many other projects.
Is that 110 yards of each strand or 110 total
That’s total 👍🏽
Could you tell me how long the grocery bag holder is?
Hey Katie ! Its 4x14 inches (10x36 cm)
@@LoomaHat thank you for the information.
What kind of yarn did you use,
I use Red Heart worsted weight. There should be a link in the description
Do you do the figure eight stitch a total of 28 or 32 rows
What kind or weight yarn do you use? I started this project but it looked weird and I stopped cause I think my yarn was too thin. There was a link in the description for yarn but it just took you to all the yarn on Amazon. If anyone could help that would be great. I want to do this one but with the right yarn. Thank you.
I used Red Heart Super Saver - it’s worsted weight. Did you use two strands?
Can a 1 strand charisma #5 work with this as you are using 2 strands of #4
How do you take the yarn to knit with two strands as one? my yarns come in a ball with just one strand loose (a real newbie here) 😅
Here is a post with a video : www.loomahat.com/knit-with-two-strands/
Does anyone have issues with it stretching length ways and not being able to get your bags in the holder?
Can you please show us how to count the rows on an almost finished project ? I didn’t keep track and don’t know how many I’ve done already😳
You look at the right side and count. Use some scrap yarn to mark every tenth row. And next time you do that from the start, marking every 5 or 10 rows, or how many else make the most sense for you.

Can’t use it for plastic bags in Maine… we don’t allow then in this state
Plastic bags truly are bad for the environment. I'm hoping this project gives each bag a second chance at being useful.
Many stores here in Canada have stopped using plastic bags. What else can this be used for? Edit: Sorry, I just can't do this. The loops get so tight that it hurts my hands and fingers. I guess I have to stay with crochet and Tunisian crochet.
