1Bag Three Ways Knitting Pattern ONLINE DOWNLOAD

Description

This is a knitting pattern with directions for my 1Bag grocery shopping bag in three versions. The basic pattern is available free on my I Live on a Farm dot com website, but does not include the two additional patterns for the yellow bag you see here and the two-toned bag.

I encourage knitters to knit at least one cotton grocery bag to replace plastic shopping bags (or paper) in an effort to make a difference to Planet Earth, one bag at a time. The truth is, on each shopping trip one of these knitted bags replaces two or three plastic bags because of "stretch" factor. And yet, after use they go back to their original shape. Made of 100% cotton in a worsted weight yarn they are machine washable and dryable.

Over the lifetime of one cotton knitted bag it is likely to replace 1000 or more wasteful plastic bags. Can you imagine what would happen if 100,000 knitters around the globe each made a cotton bag and used it regularly for five years? All of those bags added together could potentially replace 78,000,000 plastic shopping bags.

The important thing isn't which pattern you choose. The important thing to is make at least one bag. Use my free pattern, or use someone else's free pattern -- or create your own.

Of course, I would love it if you purchase my pattern because pattern sales help make it possible for me to continue doing knitting design work along with writing an inspirational blog. But my primary interest in cotton grocery bags is the good it will do for the planet, and the good that will do for our children, their children, and the children who come along for generations to come.

Knit a bag, use it regularly ... make a difference.
