Meet the Woven Bucket Bag, a stylish and functional project tote for crafters on the move. Classic knitting techniques meet practical design, creating a sturdy bag with a basket weave texture, a drawstring top, and a fabric lining that keeps tools tidy. It is the kind of make you will carry from the couch to knit night, then out again the next day.
