Cozumel Twin Set Crochet Pattern in Adriafil Rafia – Downloadable PDF

This free downloadable PDF crochet pattern from Adriafil presents the Cozumel Twin Set, a coordinating duo of a hat and bag worked in Adriafil Rafia yarn. The set has a relaxed, summery aesthetic that makes it an ideal warm-weather accessory project, and the matching design creates a polished, put-together look. Because the pattern is offered as a free downloadable PDF, it is accessible to crocheters of all levels who want to explore working with raffia-style yarn.

Materials Required

Both pieces in the Cozumel Twin Set are worked using the following materials:

• Yarn: Adriafil Rafia in violet, shade no. 75 – a chunky weight raffia-style yarn. The pattern specifies 50 g for the hat.
• Hook: A crochet hook size 5 is used throughout both pieces.
• Notions: A plastic ruler is required as a tool for creating the fleece stitch, which involves wrapping yarn over the ruler to form loops of consistent length.

About Adriafil Rafia Yarn

Adriafil Rafia is a chunky weight yarn designed to mimic the look and texture of natural raffia, a plant-based fibre traditionally used in basketry and woven accessories. Its structured, slightly stiff character makes it well suited to items that benefit from body and shape retention, such as hats and bags. Working with a raffia-style yarn in crochet produces a firm, defined fabric that holds its form beautifully without blocking.

The Hat – Design and Construction

The hat is constructed in the round from the crown downward, beginning with a small foundation chain that is closed into a loop to create the starting point for the crown. This top-down circular construction is a classic approach for crocheted hats and allows the crocheter to try the piece on as work progresses to check fit and shaping.

Hat Construction Technique

The hat begins with a chain of 4 stitches closed with a slip stitch to form a ring. From this ring, stitches are worked outward in a continuous spiral — rows are worked one after the other without joining at the end of each round, which creates a seamless, smooth crown. Increases are worked at regular intervals across multiple rows to shape the crown and brim of the hat.

Stitches Used in the Hat

• Chain stitch – used to create the foundation ring
• Slip stitch – used to close the initial chain into a loop
• Single crochet (sc) – the primary stitch used throughout the hat body and shaping rows
• Fleece stitch – a textural loop stitch created by inserting the hook into the base stitch and throwing the yarn over a plastic ruler before completing the stitch; this technique produces even, raised loops of consistent size that give the finished piece a distinctive fluffy or looped surface texture

Hat Shaping

The crown shaping is achieved through a series of carefully structured increase rows. Each increase row adds stitches at evenly spaced intervals, gradually expanding the diameter of the fabric from the tight centre of the crown outward. The pattern details increases across at least seven rows, with the number of repeat sections growing progressively to maintain an even, flat circle before the sides of the hat are worked straight downward.

The Bag – Design and Construction

The bag is the second piece in the Cozumel Twin Set. As part of a coordinating twin set, it is worked in the same Adriafil Rafia yarn and with the same size 5 crochet hook, ensuring the two accessories share a consistent texture and appearance. The raffia yarn is particularly well suited to bag construction, as it produces a firm, structured fabric that holds the shape of the bag without the need for lining or stiffening.

Techniques and Stitches in the Bag
