This little raffia bag is perfect for walks, summer markets, and everyday essentials. It comfortably fits a phone, keys, and a few small items while keeping hands free. The natural texture gives it an easy boho and rustic feel, but it also pairs beautifully with jeans and simple casual outfits.
You can make it in raffia, jute, or even cotton yarn for a softer look.

The pattern works up quickly, and all measurements are easy to customize. Optional magnetic snap closure can be added if desired.

The bag is worked from bottom up. The base is crocheted in the round using single crochet stitches, followed by textured basket stitch for the body.
