Static Stitch Bag Holder

This bag holder is fairly fast to make. I used the static stitch done in the round. This is done differently, you are going to turn at the end of each round to make it look like you crocheted it back and forth in rows.

Worsted weight acrylic yarn in dark blue
1 - 3" brass ring
1 - 5" brass ring
1 - .75" plastic Cabone ring
Size H/8 or 5mm crochet hook
Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Yarn Thickness: 4mm
Gauge: 4sc = 1"
Finished Size: 5" x 14"
Skill Level: Intermediate

RND 42: Ch1. Join 5" ring to this last round by working 1 sc in each st around working over the ring as you work each stitch. When you get to the last 3 stitches, work over the plastic .75" ring as well to use as a hanger.

Make sure the last round is on the outside. If needed, turn work inside out. Because you turned after each round, this bag holder's fabric is reversible so it looks the same no matter which side is out. Weave all ends into work. Hang your bag holder up using your little .75" plastic ring.

Sending Crochet Hooks
If you need to send crochet hooks in the mail, you could flatten a paper towel tube, cut it so it is 7" long, then tape one end to seal it. I suggest using Fiber Tape for strength. Then put the hooks inside the tube, they should be wrapped in tissue paper, then seal up the other end. Then you can put this protective tube inside a 6"x9" envelope for sending through the mail. This way they should not work themselves out of the envelope. You could even send them in a business size envelope that is made manilla paper. That way it is not sooo big.
