Plastic free Vegetable net

June 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Do you love fresh fruits and vegetables even more in the summer?

Me too! I love going to the fruit market and pick mangoes, peaches, melon, apples…. all kinds of fresh fruit.

What I really like about the vegetable / fruit market is that most of the fruits and veggies are not wrapped in plastic. But then, when we pick the fruit we’re about to buy we put it in little plastic bags … to reduce the use of plastic I decided I wanted to make some nets to use when I’m shopping for fruits and veggies that are easy to bring along in a handbag. So I decided to use some of my spare cotton yarn and crochet a veggie net. I’ll share the crochet recipe for my net in English and Norwegian.

Along my way I realised more people are thinking the same way as I do. They’re even selling veggie nets at for example Søstrene Grene (Scandinavian shop for all kinds of useful&unuseful things) this is great news for those of you that want to go plastic free but are less intrested in making your own plastic free bags. 😊

But now on to how you easily can make your own handmade crochet vegetable net.

If you have been crocheting a few times and know magic loop, chain, single crochet, and double crochet this should be a piece of cake and you’ll whip this up in no time.

If you’re new to crocheting it should be a pretty easy project too you just need to know the basic stitches.

Here is how to start with magic loop:

Here you go! Here is the recipe for my handmade crochet vegetable net. First in Norwegian then in English. Enjoy!

Frukt-og-grønnsak-nett.

50g bomullsgarn med heklefasthet til pinne 3,5-4

Heklenål 3,5 – 4

Masketyper:

Magic loop

Fastmasker fm

Luftmasker lm

Stavmasker st

Lag en magic loop og hekle 6 fm i ringen.

•hekle 2 fm i hver fm ut runden. Det er nå 12m på runden.

•hekle 2 fm i hver fm ut runden. Det er nå 24m på runden.

•start runden med 2lm. En fastmaske i første fm. 2 lm en fm i neste fm. Fortsett slik ut runden.

•siste bue på runden hekles 3lm og en fm i toppen av første fm på forrige rundes 2luftmaskebue.

•fortsett med 3lm, en fm i toppen av 2lm-bue.

•siste lm-bue hekles 4lm. Fest med 1 fm i toppen av første 3lm-bue.

•Hekle en runde med 4lm, en fm i toppen av hver 3lm-bue.

•neste runde hekles 5lm, en fm i toppen av hver 4lm-bue.

•6 lm 1 fm i toppen av lm buen på forrige omg.

•Gjenta 25 runder med 6lm-buer.

•når nettet har 25 runder med 6lm-buer eller har nådd passe lengde hekler du toppen av nettet slik:

•start med 2 lm, og 5 stavmasker, deretter 6stavmasker i hver 6lm bue ut runden. Fest med en maske i toppen av første stavmaske.

Kutt tråden og fest godt.

Hank:

Tell 12 m fra siden. Legg opp 3lm, hekle 2 stavmasker i de neste stavmaskene langs kanten. Snu. Hekle 3lm 2 st. Snu. Fortsett slik til du har 17 omg eller så lang hank du ønsker. Tell 12m fra andre siden av nettet og fest hanken med 3fm i de neste tre stavene langs kanten av nettet. Kutt tråden og fest den.

Lag en tilsvarende hank til på andre siden av nettet.

Fest alle løse tråder godt.

Lag en flettet eller tvinnet tråd av resten av garnet og fest den i den øverste stavmaske-raden på posen slik at posen kan lukkes og knytes igjen.

Voila! Du har et fiks ferdig plastikkfritt nett til frukt og grønnsaker.
