Table of Contents for raffia handbag crochet

Raffia handbag crochet: have you ever imagined sitting on your couch, yarn in hand, while a stunning handbag comes to life under your crochet hook? Our wine-red Raffia Handbag Kit can turn that fantasy into reality, rain or shine. It does not matter if you have never picked up a hook or if you whip up granny squares in your sleep; well walk you through each row until you have a piece that is both useful and eye-catching.

Today were peeling back the lid of the kit box so you can see exactly what to expect, and well explain why that bold wine red is the pop of color your wardrobe has been missing. Grab your favorite mug, settle in, and let your mind start sketching the bag youll carry everywhere.

Why choose our raffia handbag crochet?

When we put this kit together, we kept the experience just as important as the finished bag. Opening the box should feel like unwrapping a tiny adventure, and finishing the project should fill us with that proud maker glow. To make all that happen, we added:

High-quality raffia yarn-lightweight, tough, and kinder to the planet than many synthetics.
An ergonomic crochet hook-shaped to keep our fingers happy during long Netflix nights.
Yarn needle and maker buckle

Let’s talk about wine red: a shade that feels elegant

We picked wine red for a simple reason: the color carries its own attitude.

Rich and classy, so the finished bag looks almost upscale.
Slides in with jeans or a party dress, never feels out of place.
A classic shade that works every month, from winter chill to summer nights.

Picture a bold wine-red bag resting on your shoulder. It pops, yet it behaves, ready for any scene. That balance is exactly why we chose the color for this project.

Crochet open of raffia handbag

Work one round of reverse single crochet, all the way around the bags top to give the edge a tidy, finished look.

Crochet handle of raffia handbag

Handle: Chain 7 (7ch) to start.

Rounds 1–51: Crochet 6 single crochets (6x) in each round.

Sew

Leave a working yarn tail three times the length of the handle section for later sewing. Skip the top and bottom final eight rows when stitching these edges together; this opens the seam while still forming the handle curve. Pull each stitch snugly to lock the handle in place.

To position the handle, measure 5 cm down from the bag center, then 4 cm left and right of that point; mark each spot with a removable stitch marker.

Secure the handle across these indicators, sewing through both the body and the extra yarn strand for extra strength.
