Plarn 3

What else can you make with plarn? After all, how many grocery bags, beach bags, and shoulder bags can one person use?

How about rugs? Machine washable, air dry. My mom makes round and oval rugs in sc.

 This one is just whatever bags she had one or two of.

 To make it oval, she starts with a chain and works both sides of it, increasing at the ends.

 I'm pointing to an increase in sc.

 Round rug. Just increase evenly around. Mom lays it flat frequently to be sure it stays flat.

 To finish, a few slip stitches before finishing off.

An oval rug made entirely of white bags with blue printing.

 Hats are fun, too. I worked dc around until I had the top the size I wanted, to shade the top of my head. Then I worked a dc chain 1 mesh until I had it tall enough. Then I worked around in solid dc until it shaded my face adequately. I increased enough to get ruffles. Then I made the flower decoration.

 It's very windy here, so I used safety pins to fasten a headband inside to hold the hat on. This is how the flowers are tied on.

 The flower and leaves. This way I can change the decorations to look like different hats.

 Some stars.

 Stars on the hat.

 Stars tied on.

 Sc increase on top of hat.

 Dc increase in rim.

Lovely shade for my head when I'm outside.

 House slippers. My children tell me that I must never wear these outside. My son says if I'm wearing these and need an ambulance, the EMTs would take me to the mental health hospital.

 I wear them, anyway, because they are so comfortable.

I kept trying them on as I was making them to be sure of a good fit.

 One last bag. Its round, not so big, and worked in dc, chain mesh. I carry it to my garden for produce.

 Decreased up the handle and increased down the other side.

The blue line is a metal clothes hanger I worked into the bottom to help it hold its shape.
So, what can you make with plarn?
