Advanced Treble Crochet Pattern - Milk Jug Yarn Holder

Milk Jug Yarn Holder















Materials Needed: 1 gallon plastic milk jug – clean and free of stickers. Size H crochet hook. 2 ounces bright pink Worsted weight yarn. Scissors for cutting milk jug. Washable marker. Sharp thick darning needle, thick nail or Philips screwdriver to punch holes in milk jug.


Preparing Milk Jug-this will take some time: Make sure milk jug is clean and free of stickers. With washable marker make a line around bottom of jug just below the handle. This is easiest done by holding the marker in your right hand and placing it on the jug where you want to start the line.


Without moving the marker or your right hand, rotate the jug with your left hand around the marker until the line around meets. With sharp scissors, cut the milk jug on the line.















Punching Holes: Use marker to place marks for holes about ¼” down from cut line and ½” apart. Try to make an even amount of dots.














Using the sharp darning needle, and being careful to keep your fingers out of the way, punch all the way through each one of the dots.












Next take something a little bigger (like a nail) and once again punch through the holes you created with the needle to make the hole bigger. Keep finding something a little bigger than the last item you used to make the bigger until they are about ¼”. The last item could be a Philips screwdriver.














Your milk jug is now ready to go.













Start Making the Top – Row 1: Using H hook and bright pink yarn, make a sl knot. Draw the sl knot through any hole from the inside to the outside and ch 1.




























* Insert the hook into the next hole, YO and draw loop through hole from the inside to the outside. YO

and complete the sc.


Repeat from * around. Ending with sc in the first hole you pulled a sl knot through. Join the last sc to the first sc with a slip stitch (sl st) as follows: Insert hook under top loops of first sc made. YO and pull a loop through the st and through the loop on the hook all at once.


Row 2: Ch 5, make trc in next sc. Ch 1,  make trc in next sc. Ch 1, repeat from  around. Join to 4th ch of first ch-4 with a sl st.














Rows 3-7: Ch 5, make trc in top of next trc. Ch 1,  make trc in next trc. Ch 1, repeat from  around. Join to 4th ch of first ch-4 with a sl st.


Row 8: Ch 1, sc in first ch-1 space. In same space make 2 dc. Sc in next ch-1 space. In same space make 2 dc. Repeat from  across. End with a sl st into first sc. End off Pink and weave in end.













Draw String: Measure out about 10 yards of the bright pink worsted yarn. Fold it in half so you have it doubled and now have a piece about 5 yards long. With size H hook and doubled yarn, make a ch of 100. End off ch and weave through the top holes of yarn holder.












Tie ends together and weave in ends. Use Draw String to tighten or loosen bag.
