Row 5 (drop stitch row)

Slip the 1st stitch, k, drop two loops out of the left needle without casting them – repeat * this pattern till the end of this row, knit the last stitch.

Stretch down the stitches with your hand so that dropped stitches form loops and are aligned cleanly and nicely.

Stitches in this row will be loose while knitting; stretch them down when you finish this row.

Row 7, 8, 9

Slip the 1st stitch, k all stitches.

Row 10 – repeat row 4.

Row 11 – repeat row 5.

Row 12 – repeat row 6.

Continue knitting with the exact instructions – 3 rows of k all stitches, 1 row of casting
dropped stitches (*row 4), 1 row of dropping the stitches (*row 5), followed by 1 row of k
and stretching down the dropped stitches (*row 6).

When you make the 11th drop stitch row (*row 5), k next 3 rows and cast off at the 4th row.

This part will measure approximately 14 inches.

Cast off, cut the yarn, and leave at least 20 inches of yarn for sewing.

Knit the second part of the bag using the same instructions.

Repeat the same pattern and knit another part with the exact instructions.

Assembling the bag

Choose the front and back sides of the project and place the back side up, as shown in
the photos below.

Take the needle and sew the edges that touch each other. Once you finish sewing touching edges, slightly twist and attach the edges next to each other. Take the needle and sew the edges. Repeat this instruction to sew all neighboring edges together.

Turn the bag inside out, and you will see the bucket bag with 4 pointy parts. We will attach straps to the pointy ends.
