The Design

“A cute carryall!”

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!

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

CROCHETER'S NOTES
