The Boho Braided Bucket Bag is a quick and easy project that creates a cute and unique little purse. Instead of toting an enormous bag everywhere you go, throw a few essentials into this bag and run out the door! It easily can hold a water bottle, cell phone, keys and much more!

This pattern uses chains, single crochets, double crochets and slip stitches. The bottom is a flat round, which also helps with your bag being able to stand up when you’re not using it.

The handle is three strands of faux suede cord braided together. It is threaded into holes that you create with chains and skipping stitches.

The unique part about the Boho Braided Bucket Bag is that the handle is also the closure! The weight of the bag and whatever you put in it, cinches the bag shut while it rests on your shoulder. There are no buttons or zippers to deal with.

This item would make a perfect gift for any woman who doesn’t prefer the bulky, heavy “suitcase” purse. It would also be a great item for craft fairs since it works up quickly. You can make a lot in very little time.
