looking for a pattern...

Can anyone tell me if there is any kind of knitting pattern that you can do
for making a clothpin bag. I am a new knitter and would like to find
something that is simple and fast. Has anyone heard of such a pattern
before? If so can they share it with me?
If no one has one, does anyone know where I can go to get one?

I wouldn't knit a clothespin bag. Knitting stretches, you don't want
a stretchy clothespin bag. Make a pair of cutoffs and save the legs.
You can use the upper legs as the pouches and make straps from the
leftovers. Voila. Clothespin bag. I made one 20-odd years ago, it
hasn't come into the house since, and it still works just fine.

Viola,
I would like to thank you so much for the information. I really didn't
thing it would work by knitting a bag. My son just bought me a new
washing machine for a late birthday gift and I need to have a cloth pin
bag with out buying one.
Thanks again,
Diana

Diana, depending on where you live, I would maybe add to Wooly's great
suggestion, that it may be a good idea to have one that it water proof.
Where I live, we get a lot of rain. My clothes pegs would be a mess if I
left them hanging on the washlin in a cloth bag made of old jeans. The
springs gets rusty and the wood swells up etc. (this is from experience)
I have my pegs in a plastic bucket that moves in and out the house as
needed.

Mirjam,

Hello twin.

I believe Diana means a clothes pin bag. For holding clothes pins that
hold clothes on a line.

If I am right any knit bag would work.
