Raffia bucket bag crochet: There’s just something extra nice about making your own bag, and on warm summer days you really can’t beat a cute raffia bucket bag. Stick with us and we’ll show you exactly how we crocheted this roomy, stylish piece from the ground up. Seasoned hands or brand-new crafters will find every step laid out clearly, keeping the mood light and the learning curve gentle.

Why we love raffia for crochet bags

Before we jump into the pattern, let’s chat for a minute about our fiber of choice: raffia. It’s super light, really sturdy, and the natural texture feels right at home next to sun hats and sunglasses. Working with raffia means the bag holds its shape yet still looks easy-going and handmade, just the vibe a bucket bag should have.

What makes raffia even more fun is all the earthy shades and bright pops of color you can find, so the finished piece matches whatever summer outfit you pull on. And yes, the ribbon can be a little tricky at first, but it gets easier with every stitch. If this is your first time with raffia, don’t sweat it—we’ll talk you through the quirks and keep the project moving.

Opening of raffia buck bag crochet

We use reddish brown color yarn to crochet opening of bag.

R46(ch, sk 1, sc) * 48

We use an invisible stitch to close the bag so the opening looks neat and seamless. That hidden thread hides the join and keeps the edge smooth for an extra-professional finish.

Crochet & sew bandage of raffia bucket bag

  • First, chain 30 stitches to form the base of one bandage.
  • Next, repeat the process to create a second bandage.

Remember to leave a long tail of yarn on both bag so you have extra for sewing.

Finally, bandages onto the main bag firmly, keeping everything inside nice and safe.

We use the shrimp stitch to make a cord about 90 cm long. This little rope is both strong and pretty, so it works well as a handle or drawstring.

Tie a simple knot to secure the strap; its surprising how handy that can be.

When the cord hits 90 cm, we fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing it onto the bag.
