Raffia Tote Bag Crochet Pattern

This bag bag certainly gives us that happy feeling with its rainbow stripes and summer vibes. It’s perfect for all abilities and, with such a versatile yet classic pattern, the colours can be easily adapted to suit any style.

Sam recommends swatching before you begin so you can adjust your tension accordingly, and to also get used to working with raffia if you haven’t used it before. The nature of raffia changes from skein to skein, so swatching before you start will help you get a feel for the material.

This pattern is designed by Sam Hermes and was first published in Mollie Makes magazine issue 145.
