Weekend Bucket Bag

"The Weekend Bucket Bag was inspired by Lion Brand’s Jeans yarn - check out that front pocket! It’s just the right size for most phones, and we all need a big pocket for those these days! The base of the bag is reinforced with plastic canvas, which is a great item to use for crochet projects like this - you can cut it to any size, it’s inexpensive, and it’s washable! Here, it helps the Weekend Bucket Bag hold its shape, and makes the bottom of the bag that much stronger - so you can fill it up and head out for a weekend of fun!

I love this. It is simple, yet stylish. The rope handle really gives it a unique look and feel, as do the tassel and buttoned pocket on the front. You could easily make one of these up in an evening. I dont think I would add plastic canvas to mine, but that is just because I dont like a stiff purse. I would line the bag to help prevent stretching though.
