Bobby Bucket Bag: Finished Size
Finished size:
● Width 45 cm (18 inches)
● Length 45 cm including the handles (18 inches)
● Handles 20 cm long x 3 cm wide (8 x 1 inch)
Materials:
● 4 x 100 g balls of Panda Soft Cotton Chunky (or other chunky yarn with recommended
hook size = 10 mm). I used 375 g of the french blue, colour #2.
● 9 mm crochet hook
● Yarn needle
Notes
● This pattern is written in US crochet terms
● The pattern is worked in a continuous round, with tight tension to minimise holes
● Don't join the ends of rows with a slip stitch unless noted
Stitches
● Magic ring tutorial here
● SC = single crochet (UK double crochet)
● HDC = half double crochet (UK half treble)
● Ch = chain
● Sl st = slip stitch
Gauge:
Although gauge is not that critical for a bag, please note that I used a tight tension for this
pattern in order to minimise the holes/gaps. If your tension is a lot looser, your bag will end
up larger, and you may not finish the pattern with only 4 balls of yarn.
● 8 HDC x 6 rows = 10×10 cm
Pattern
***Work in continuous round, crochet tightly***
**Use a stitch marker to keep track of the start of your rows*”
***At the point you should check your tension compared to my gauge (above)****
If your tension is a lot looser, you won't finish the bag with only 4 balls.
SOLUTION: unpick one row and start forming the handles on row 27 instead of 28
28. HDC in the first 12 st, 20 HDC in the ch 12 space, HDC in the next 25 st, 20 HDC
in the ch 12 space, HDC in the next 11 st, SC in the next st, sl st in the next st^
(88 HDC, 1 SC, 1 sl st)
29. Sl st into the first st of previous round, ch 1, SC in the same st, SC in each st
around, join at end with slip st and finish off. (90 SC).
^Note: this is to create a level base for the start and end of the final row. In the final row, the last
SC will be into the sl st at the end of row 28.
