What You’ll Need to Get Started
The Scallop Bucket Bag doesn’t require any pre-made materials except for the leather strap that you can order online or buy in a thrift store.
The pattern calls for a 6 mm crochet hook and bulky-weight yarn like Annette Eriksson Eco Cotton XL or Lion Brand Rewind. For bag projects, cotton, polyester, and viscose fibers work best, making them sturdy and durable.
