Note: This project is flexible when it comes to the size of the needle you use, the size of the plastic strips you cut, and the number of stitches added when creating a "round effect". The size of the needle will depend greatly on the width of your plastic plarn and obviously the thickness of your plastic bag. In addition, how tightly you want your carpet to be crocheted. I personally go for a smaller needle because I want a tightly crocheted rug (7 Pony 4 1/2). So in short, the wider you cut your plarn strips, the bigger the needle you will need. Adding stitches is also a flexible matter and rather crocheting on feel than precision. I used to add an additional stitch after every 20; however, it did not give a smooth appearance since not all plastic bags provide the same amount of "stretch". After each row is crocheted, I usually place the rug on a flat surface to see where it is starting to bend up slightly and then add a stitch to bend it down again, if that makes sense. The only way to perfect this is by practicing and getting a feel for how much your plastic will stretch. Most plastic bags will work for this project; however, the really flimsy, thin type tends to rip too easily, and I avoid them completely as I want a strong rug that will last a long time. Basically, the stronger the bags, the better! A carpet like this uses around 300 bags if tightly crocheted. It all depends on the size of the bags.
