Crochet Bucket Bag – Free Pattern

Hi!

I am very excited to share the crochet bucket bag pattern with you. I have been working on this pattern for a while and finally had some time over the holidays to finish it off. You can use different types of yarns to test out the texture. I would recommend using a stiffer yarn if you are not using an insert, just so it doesn’t flop too much.

This is a simple pattern that makes a bucket bag that looks quite nice!

Let’s get started!

This crochet bucket bag pattern is so fun to make! You can make it as big or as small as you like by increasing or decreasing the number of increase rounds for the base and the height of the bag by adjusting the number of rounds from Round 17 onward.

Let me know in the comments if you have any problems with your crochet bucket bag project.
