What we adore about the hexagonal bucket bag
The first time we encountered the hexagonal bucket bag, its striking silhouette and adaptable character captivated us. Its roomy interior accommodates daily necessities, while the geometric base lends a fresh, sculpted presence. Lightweight and planet-friendly—especially in raffia or cotton yarn—it invites color play in limitless combinations.

Crochet drawstring of hexagonal bucket bag kit
Drawstring Lengths
- 180 cm (single shoulder)
- 160 cm (crossbody or handheld)
Insert the drawstring into the 12 buckles
Begin at one end of the bag’s opening and guide the drawstring through the first buckle, moving from the exterior toward the interior.
Progress by interlacing the drawstring through each of the 12 buckles, alternating between passing over one edge and then beneath the next.
Maintain this over-under pattern until the drawstring travels fully around the bag.
Finally, draw both ends of the string toward each other with uniform force to secure the closure and gather the fabric.
Make tassel
Step 1: Expedite creation of tassel strands (20 cm × 30 strands)
Obtain a cardboard strip approximately 20 cm along the vertical axis; an alternative is a ruler of the same length. Encircle the chosen yarn around the strip 30 complete revolutions, each complete turn generating a single future strand. Execute a clean cut along one lateral edge of the cardboard, separating the assembly into 30 individual strands, each measuring approximately 20 cm. Delicately vibrate the cut strands and then comb gently to ensure uniform linearity.
Step 2: Integrate tassel strands with drawstring termination
Place the 30 strands in a folded orientation to determine the midpoint. Deliver the terminal segment of the drawstring through the midpoint loop thus created. Employ a short segment of yarn matching in color to knot the folded strands to the drawstring. Execute a minimum of 2 to 3 complete wraps around the assembly, concluding with a secure knot.
Step 3: Fabricate the neck (tassel ball)
Position approximately 1.5 cm below the juncture of the strands and the drawstring. Employ a second length of matching yarn to encircle the strands in a tight helical configuration, repeating the action until the circumference shows uniform compression. Draw the yarn tight enough to create a pronounced spherical segment (referred to colloquially as the neck) and knot with enough friction to withstand lateral forces. Conceal protruding yarn ends by threading them within the body of the strands using either a needle or a crochet hook.
Step 4: Reinforce and conclude
Utilize a needle and matching yarn to deliver several discrete stitches at the base of the tassel, precisely at the transition to the drawstring, ensuring that the connection exhibits enhanced mechanical durability through localized material interlocking.
Cut the ends of the tassel to achieve uniform strand length.
Optionally, apply low-temperature steam or use a wide-toothed comb to encourage the strands to fall in a straight, cohesive manner.
