Get ready for your next tropical vacation, your next yoga class, a girl’s trip, or simply a trip to the grocery store with this oversized, eco-friendly raffia tote bag crochet pattern! Raffia ribbon is a unique fiber to work with and adds variety to your hobby. You’re sure to get many compliments when toting this stylish bag around!

As I find fiber arts to be such a mindful activity, I always like to leave a quote that either inspires a piece or reminds me of a detail about it for you to think about. The quote behind this one is “It is said that wisdom lies not in seeing things…but seeing through things”- Manly P. Hall

Given the subtle see-through look of this bag, the quote reminds me particularly of this hobby that we love so much: crochet! While some people may simply see the output of our work (eg., a bag); what we see is much more. It’s an act of patience, love, and creativity - we feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of each project and to me, when I see each object I’ve made, I remember that time in my life. I remember what it helped me to get through and perhaps I’m reminded of who it was gifted to. I hope that you find peace and joy every time you pick up the hook in the same way that I do! Happy making :)
