Mosaic Bucket Bag design

The Mosaic Bucket Bag is a fun and casual crochet bag with a unique mosaic look. The design features a functional and attractive drawstring and a clip-on shoulder strap, with carabiners that add a touch of bling. The mosaic stitch creates small inverted chevrons, which work well with a wide variety of colours. The bag is made up of three different yarns, with the option to choose a lighter or darker colour for the background and accent. The finished size of the bag may vary depending on the thickness of the yarn used for Colour C.

The bag is created in three parts: the base, the mosaic section, and the top, drawstring and strap. The base is crocheted in a spiral, with single crochet stitches (SC) in each stitch around. The mosaic section is created using two colours, with a spike stitch worked into the top loops of the stitches from the previous round. The top, drawstring and strap are added in the final part, with D-rings and eyelets for the drawstring and strap.

The Mosaic Bucket Bag Crochet-Along (CAL) is an online event where the pattern is released in segments over several weeks, allowing a community of crocheters to work on it together. The CAL for this bag was originally held in March and April 2019, with the pattern now available for free or for a small fee.

Mosaic Bucket Bag colour scheme

The Mosaic Bucket Bag is a fun and casual bag with a unique mosaic look. The bag is comprised of three different yarns. The colour scheme is up to you, but the pattern designer recommends a light colour for the background and a darker colour for the accent, or vice versa.

The bag has two size options: a classic size and a mini size. The classic size bag requires 150 yards of yarn for colour A, 140 yards for colour B, and 150 yards for colour C. The mini size bag requires 100 yards of yarn for colour A, 70 yards for colour B, and 80 yards for colour C.

The pattern designer, Rebecca Langford, suggests using #4 worsted weight yarn, preferably cotton, for colours A and B, and any weight of yarn that is thinner than colour B for colour C. The pattern recommends using darker colours for colour C to create more contrast.

The Mosaic Bucket Bag pattern was originally released in segments as a crochet-along project, with each part of the pattern released weekly. The crochet-along began with the base of the bag, followed by the mosaic section, and finally the top, drawstring, and strap.
