Getting Started
We will start by making the bottom of the trash bag. We first make a foundation chain and work completely around the chain to form a round.

Note about yarn…
I used size 1 cotton yarn to make a smaller, cleaner looking amigurumi. However, you can use regular size 4/Medium weight yarn with a 4mm hook! The pattern will work out exactly the same, only difference being the trash bag would come out bigger.

Let’s Get Started

We will start by making a foundation chain. We will work completely around the chain in a round to form an oval shape.

Note: Adding blush is a cute touch! Use either makeup or a very small amount of paint with a soft brush and go in small circles to make the blush.

  3. The design could be adapted to make it into a cute lavender bag for scenting a drawer.

    1. That is such a smart idea, I would never have thought of that! Definitely want to give your awesome idea a try now 🙂 I have always wanted to use the lavender bags in my yarn bin so my yarn smells good!

  4. Loved making this one!! I accidentally added too many stitches somewhere at the beginning & had to adapt, so mine turned out bigger than the pattern but my 7 yr old loves it!! Thanks for making such cute patterns and for your great step-by-step instructions!

  5. I made this cuz I thought it was cute and funny. It turned out pretty good
