Why should you make your own shopping bags or totes? Plastic bags are from the same source as all plastic: crude oil. So what is wrong with crude oil?

The manufacturing process emits considerable amounts of pollution, and the product is not biodegradable. On land, plastic bags are one of the most common types of litter worldwide.

As plastic bags are lightweight and float easily, this means they can travel long distances when picked up by the wind this includes landing in the ocean. Then wildlife gets tangled or ingests the bags, both in the sea and on land.

Make a difference and make your own shopping grocery bags. Have plastic bags you need to re-use? Consider making these DIY upcycled plastic bag crafts.

If you are looking for an easy crochet slouchy hat pattern for beginners, this one from CraftBits is a great place to start. It is a simple unisex crochet hat worked in rows, then joined into a tube and gathered at the top, which keeps the construction nice and approachable. The project uses worsted weight yarn, a 9 mm hook, and just a yarn needle for finishing, so you do not need a long shopping list before getting started.

What makes this pattern appealing is how beginner-friendly it is. The tutorial is presented as a video-based project, and the written instructions are very straightforward, using single crochet worked through the back loop to create that ribbed, stretchy texture. That means you get a hat with a nice casual slouch and a knit-look finish, without needing advanced stitches or complicated shaping.

I also like that it is the kind of crochet project that feels practical straight away. You are making an adult-size hat, it works up with two strands of yarn held together, and the repeat is simple enough that you can settle into the rhythm pretty quickly. This is the sort of pattern that would suit gift-making, market prep, or those evenings when you want something relaxing on your hook instead of a project that makes you count every second stitch like your life depends on it.

Because it is a basic slouch hat shape, there is also plenty of room to play with colour and yarn choices. You could keep it classic and neutral, go bold with bright shades, or make a stack of them in different colours for family gifts. Simple patterns like this are often the ones that get used over and over again, especially when they are easy to customise. That flexibility is part of what makes this one such a handy little free crochet pattern to have bookmarked.
