Snow mountain bucket bag

Bucket bags are a timeless accessory that have surged in popularity over the last couple of years, making them a must-have item for knitters and fashion lovers alike. In this comprehensive knitting pattern, you’ll discover how to create your very own stylish bucket bag that combines functionality with chic design. The construction of this versatile bag is straightforward and beginner-friendly, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. The bucket bag is knitted in the round from the top down, using a clever buttonhole technique to create an opening for the straps. This pattern features stunning colorwork for the main body, allowing you to experiment with vibrant hues and unique color combinations.

To make it easy for you, I’ve written the pattern so you can follow it row by row, or utilize a user-friendly chart for your convenience. The bottom of the bag is worked in Garter Stitch and shaped through decrease stitches, with stitches elegantly grafted together using the Kitchener stitch for a seamless finish. After completing the body of the bag, you’ll move on to knit the strap and drawstring. Crafting an I-cord for the strap is a delightful experience that adds a special touch to your bag. However, if you're not fond of knitting I-cords, I’ve also included an alternative strap option in the PDF. By the way, if you’ve never tried knitting an I-cord before, I think you’ll truly enjoy this technique as you bring your bucket bag to life!
