Crochet tote bag pattern made with raffia yarn.
This summer shoulder bag features a star stitch texture and uses a pre-made leather straps. Perfect for beach days, casual walks or everyday use.

I used Raffia Yarn (available on Temu app.), approx. 120g/200m, total usage 2,5 balls or 500 meters.
A similar 3 mm raffia or jute yarn will also work well.

Finished size (without straps): 38 cm length X 32 cm height (15 X 12 1/2 inches)
Pre-made leather straps: 60 cm
Instructions on how to make raffia straps are included in the pattern.
