I have so many plastic grocery bags its ridiculous! So, using 16" circular needles, size US 10 (6.0 mm), I came up with this contraption! I didn't really have any "pattern," per se. I just kind of went with it.
Cast on however many stitches (even number) it takes to fill the entire needle (this was something like 80 stitches or so).
Work in garter stitch until you're satisfied with the length.
Knit 4 rows of ribbing: knit1, purl 1
With a 4.0 mm crochet hook work in 2 handles of chain stitch, attached to the bag about an inch from each other (I made 2 handles just to be more durable since the chain stitch is somewhat frail).
Weave a piece of yarn through the bottom to bunch it up. Leave enough of an opening, however, to be able to pull bags out from the bottom when one is desired.
