Crochet a refined summer duo designed to look beautiful together: a spacious raffia tote with an eye-catching cable texture and a matching wide-brim sun hat. Leather details add an elegant finishing touch, while the structured construction keeps both pieces looking polished. A perfect handmade set for vacations, beach days, and summer outings.

The pattern includes detailed step-by-step written instructions with photos and video tutorials for both projects. The hat instructions also guide you through adjusting the measurements to your own head circumference, so you can customize the size for a comfortable and personalized fit.
