Working Yarn Holder
By Debbie Toto

Materials:

Small amount of worsted weight yarn
Size G hook
2 Liter bottle of soda, ice tea, whatever (empty and clean)
Hole punch

Worked in the round. Mark first stitch to beginning and end of rnds. (I use a safety pin)

Take the 2 liter bottle and cut the bottom off *(save for future project J )
With hole punch, punch holes evenly around the end you cut.

Rnd 1- Join yarn in any hole with a sc, sc around. *(add stitches, more then one per hole, if stitches seem too stretched out. I had too.)

Rnds 2-14 sc around.

Rnd 15- ch 3, dc in next 3 sc, * ch one, skip next sc, dc in next 4 sc, * Repeat around. *(having a group of 2, 4, or 5 for you last grouping is ok). End with a sl st in next sc, finish off, weave in ends.

Drawstring- ch 110, finish off. Weave in ends. Weave the ch between the dc groups on last rnd. Put in the yarn you’ll be working with, pull drawstrings and tie in a bow.

NOTE: can be made to use with thread if you cut more off the bottom of the bottle.

Enjoy!
