The Design

"A cute carryall in durable hemp!"

It all started with a straw backpack Kit found years ago at a New York street market. The bag is no more but Kit's sketch survived. We liked the capacious 'bucket' size, but preferred an oval base for less bulky proportions. We created a handy smaller version and kept scaling down 'til we arrived at zippered pouches, perfect for notions, cosmetics, projects . . . . A bag for all reasons!

When we started our larger bag we had fun decidingall one color or color-blocked? For our sample we decided on two colors, but how big of a bottom stripe? Fortunately, one skein of allhemp6 gave us just the right amount for the generous oval baseplus a pleasing proportion of color right up the sides. Easy!

The Details

FINISHED SIZES
Smaller bucket bag: 8½ x 4½" base x 11" tall/21.5 x 11cm base x 28cm tall.
Larger bucket bag: 9½ x 5½" base x 14½" tall/24 x 14cm base x 37cm tall.

YARN
Smaller bucket bag (not shown): 3 skeins Hemp for Knitting allhemp6 (165 yds/150m each).
Or approx. 450 yds/410m of a strong worsted weight cotton or hemp yarn.
Larger bucket bag: 5 skeins Hemp for Knitting allhemp6 (165 yds/150m each).
Or approx. 755 yds/690m of a strong worsted weight cotton or hemp yarn.

HOOKS & NOTIONS
US E/4 (3.5mm) crochet hook, or size to obtain gauge.

4 locking markers, one in a different color.
Blunt darning needle to finish.

GAUGE
Approx. 20 sc/24 rounds = 4"/10 cm on gauge hook.

CROCHETER'S NOTES
Both size bucket bags can be made with either the backpack or drawstring straps--you decide! Wouldn't it be fun to make the smaller size into a backpack for your favorite little stitcher?

The fabric made with allhemp6 is very firm, so choose a crochet hook with a comfortable grip.
