Sack Sock

My daughter asked me to make a sock sack of plarn. I've seen them made of kitchen towels, so I thought I'd use a towel as a size guide.

The bent wire is a wire clothes hanger I was planning to use as a frame/hanger, but I decided it was too much of a pain to use and unnecessary.

Being careful not to let the chain twist, join into a circle with a slip stitch in the first chain.

Chain 4, counts as the first dc and a chain stitch.* Skip the next chain stitch, dc in next stitch, chain 1. Repeat from * around. Being careful not to let this row twist, join with slip stitch in beginning ch 4.

Ch 1, turn, slip stitch into first space, chain 4, dc in next space, ch 1. Repeat around. Join.

I'm turning after each round to keep the join at the back.

This plastic ring will be the hanger at the top.

I cut a piece of elastic to gather the bottom to keep the bags from falling out, threaded it through the bottom row and sewed it together. Later I realized it would have been easier to make a shorter chain to start and increase in the first few rounds to the diameter I wanted.

Not tall enough yet.

I threaded the ring onto my plarn after a chain stitch before the last dc before joining.

Worked the last dc, ch, join.

Tall enough.
Now, you'd think I could make some progress on that granny square afghan, not yet! I just found out my son AND a nephew proposed to their girlfriends, so now, I have to make 2 "wedding" doilies!
