What Yarn Works Best for This Project?
For this project, you’ll need Lion Brand Rewind – a bulky-weight yarn that offers a trendy look and comes in a variety of colors to match your personal style. It’s a polyester-rayon blend, perfect for projects like bags that need good shape and structure. To complete your accessory, you will need 260 – 280 yards (238 – 256 m).
The pattern suggests using a 5.0 mm and 5.5 mm crochet hook to achieve the desired gauge and texture.
What Is the Bag’s Finished Size?
The Harper Bucket Bag’s finished size is approximately 9 inches tall and 6.5 inches in diameter. You can easily adjust the bag’s size by modifying the number of rounds on the bottom and rows in the body to meet your preferences.
