Clack clack clack. That’s what I heard when walking my dog using a retractable leash and a hard plastic poop bag holder. Hard plastic hitting hard plastic was interrupting the nature sounds. I looked up poop bag holder crochet patterns and found ones with buttons, ties, zippers. I didn’t want anything fancy. Slide the roll of bags in there and that’s it. So, I winged it and now you guys get a free pattern out of it! This is an easy and quick pattern.
