This beginner-friendly crochet bag pattern will create a 24”W and 18”H beach bag capable of holding everything you’d need for a day at the beach plus five large beach towels. It highlight’s raffia yarn’s durability, strength, and organic texture, and simple stitches allow for the bag to come together in a few hours. I recommend you use rararaffia or rafaella raffia. Alternatively, you can use sugar and cream cotton or jute yarn. If you’d like to watch my process, you can see me make this bag here on Youtube! https://youtu.be/w--Y-tv3tng

This pattern includes links to videos I found on youtube created by others that help to explain the embroidery techniques and other decorative work done on the surface of the bag.
