wk 1 hdc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each st across

Fasten off

With matching thread sew the two sides together like a tube. Using thread makes it look better then using the yarn.

The Shovel (the long part)

Row 1

ch 2, wk 1 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, do not join

Row 2

wk 2 sc in each st around, do not join

Row 3

wk 1 sc in each st around, and continue that until your piece is about 3 inches long (I did about 12 rows)

when it's as tall as you want it, sc dec all the way around until closed.

For the Round Handle part

Row 1

ch 29, wk 1 sc in each st across

Rows 2 & 4

repeat row 1 and fasten off.

Sew this piece together like you did for the bucket handle.

Then sew the two ends together joining them like in picture 1.

Stuff your bucket with fiberfill and attach the sand piece to the top of the bucket. As shown in picture 2. Be careful when sewing the two pieces together, try not to pull the thread to tightly or your bucket will bunch up.

Sew the top handle part of the shovel to the 3 inch tube in picture 3 and then attach that to the top of the sand part as shown in the picture. To help my bucket handle stand up I placed the shovel close to the handle to help support it and sewed them together (like in picture 4).
