This small boho-style bucket bag is made with natural raffia straw yarn and features a soft, romantic look.
It’s the perfect little shoulder bag for summer — whether you’re heading to the beach, a local market, or just taking a walk. Just big enough to hold the essentials, and adds a charming, rustic touch to any outfit.

The bag is worked using a simple and beautiful shell stitch pattern. To help it keep its shape, you’ll need a pre-made round base with holes for crocheting into. It makes the bag sturdy and helps it stand up nicely.

I used Natural Cotton Raffia Yarn (approx. 328 yards / 190 g), available on Amazon.
This yarn is lightweight, flexible, and perfect for summer accessories. A similar 2 mm raffia or jute yarn will also work well.
