Zora Raffia Hobo Handbag

Making this unique and chic circular hobo-style handbag begins with two main panels shaped with regular increases per row to create its partial-circle form. The two panels are joined around the sides with a zigzag slip stitch seam. The handle is also made of two identical pieces worked upward from the top edge of each side of the main bag, then joined at the top to complete the handle. Pattern includes chart instructions.
