Table of Contents for wheat bucket bag kit
Wheat bucket bag kit: The moment we encountered the wheat bucket bag , we knew we had to make one. Its clean lines, plaited structure, and modern silhouette marry flair with function, and the stitch sequence turned out to be far less intricate than it looked.
In this step-by-step overview, we walk you through selecting yarn, shaping the body, and adding the handle so you can craft your own version.
Whether youve just mastered the chain stitch or can already whip up granny squares in your sleep, you are welcome to join the project.
Why we like the wheat bucket bag kit
Its feather-light but sturdy, standing upright even when empty, thanks to a raffia and a little stiffening.
The wheat stitch creates gentle ridges that catch the light yet behave, so the overall effect is tidy rather than flashy.
There is enough room for a tablet, wallet, and water bottle without sagging, and the open top makes packing and unpacking quick.
Best of all, the repetition is meditative; once you settle into rhythm, you may find yourself working yarn in the evening while podcasts play.
