This pattern is for a knitted, multi-purpose bag designed with makers in mind. It is a perfect bag for crafters to store and carry yarn and other supplies. It only uses 3 skeins of super bulky yarn and one size of circular needles and cable. Easily customizable and a quick knit, it works up in a weekend and makes a great gift.

Thanks to my testers, I have some additional optional modification possibilities to share with you:

-Do the circular base twice for double thickness and bind off together

-Double strand yarn for the circular base for additional thickness (this will increase the size of the base, however)

-Instead of the original drawstring design, you can do a cinched drawstring to create a drawstring backpack

-Add straps to wear it as a cross body bag or loops to hang it on a hook

If you make The Bucket Bag, you can tag me @eclecticartistryshop and add #thebucketbag. I’d love to see the ways you make it your own too!
