Raffia Tote Bag - English Pattern

Create the Raffia Tote Bag, a soft, spacious, and contemporary crochet bag made entirely with natural raffia.

The bag starts with a sturdy and stable oval base, from which the body is worked in the round. The upper section gradually narrows to form two triangular panels that continue into the long, integrated tubular handle. The distinctive V-shaped opening, featured on both the front and back, gives the bag a modern and lightweight silhouette, while the small central gathering adds a simple yet eye-catching finishing detail.

The project is suitable for crocheters with a basic knowledge of crochet who would like to create a practical, original, and fully customizable bag. The design is worked mainly in single crochet and can easily be adapted by changing the length of the handle, the size of the bag, or the color of the raffia.

A versatile tote bag full of personality, perfect for spring and summer. Wear it with everyday outfits, holiday looks, or more sophisticated combinations. You can also personalize it with a decorative label, an inner lining, or a magnetic closure, making every bag truly unique.
