The long color way of the Gina Chunky yarn accentuates the triangular motifs of this unique bucket bag.

Bag is knitted with two lengths of circular needles and a set of 5 double points in a join-as-you-go modular technique. A sturdy I chord bind off gives substance to the top edge, and I chord purse loops provide a handy way to attach the O rings of the purse straps.

Notions: Stitch markers, large eyed yarn needle, sewing thread and needle.

Additional materials: 2 purse straps with O rings; 8 to 9 inch diameter cylinder such as a flour canister, popcorn tin or small trash bin to serve as a mold for the felted bag;

Optional materials: sheet of plastic mesh, craft felt and glue to stabilize bottom of the bag: crochet hook, suede cord, and a stone pendant or large button for purse closure; alternatively a large snap for closure.
