Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in cream color
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 sts and 8 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and chain 1. Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. You should have 6 stitches.
2. Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You will have 12 stitches now.
3. Round 3: Chain 1, then *sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. Join with a sl st. You should have 18 stitches.
4. Round 4: Chain 1, then *sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. Join with a sl st. You will have 24 stitches.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner until the base of your bag measures approximately 10 inches in diameter. This will form the bottom of your bucket bag.
6. Work the Sides: Once the base is complete, work even in single crochet for 5 rounds. This will create the sides of your bag.
7. Add Texture: For a textured look, work 3 rounds of alternating front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc). This will give your bag a beautiful, raised pattern.
8. Continue with Single Crochet: After the textured rounds, work 5 more rounds of single crochet to finish the body of the bag.
9. Create the Drawstring Casing: Work 2 rounds of single crochet, ensuring to leave spaces for the drawstring. This will allow you to easily pull the drawstring to close the bag.
10. Make the Strap: For the strap, crochet a long chain of your desired length. Once you reach the desired length, work a row of single crochet across the chain. Attach the strap securely to the bag to ensure it can hold your belongings.
