Why I love drawstring bags: they are super comfortable to close! The summer is approaching and why don’t you try another design for your hard crocheting hands?
This bucket bag I have made from quite sturdy yarn – Macrame Cotton. But, you can use any Sport Yarn you would like to (to repeat this crochet pattern with Sport yarn - take 250g too to be on the safe side).

Bohemian style in bags and clothing is my favourite. I love the freedom of shapes, the diversity of materials and beautiful feminine accents I can put on every item and make it special. The pattern for this boho bucket bag is a written tutorial with over 50 photos of crocheting steps with explanations. Also, as I have made the handmade strap for this bag - I have added a photo tutorial for you too on: how to crochet flowers and leaves, how to attach clasps to the handle and so on.
