How to crochet a plarn planter for healthy roots

Step 2 Make your plarn

To make plarn, fold a plastic bag and cut into strips around 1 inch wide (you can cut thick bags a little narrower and thin bags a little wider to get a fairly consistent gauge). You are cutting your bag side-to-side, so each strip will actually be a loop. Thread one loop through the previous loop and through itself to attach them together.

You don’t need to make all your yarn at once – you can just add on new loops as you go. If you find yourself running out of yarn, it's easy to add a few more loops.
