Rafia Yarn For Crochet and handicraftIf you are wondering what rafia/raffia yarn is? This is it. Don’t get confuse with raffia straw, they are different in texture. Rafia is thin and soft, modern rafia is made of plastic or paper.
I haven’t tried out plastic yarn – plarn, that you can recycle from your grocery plastic bag but I think it should be feasible in making this bag. If you have tried it out, please let me know the result.

Crochet Straw Raffia Tote Bag Tutorial Free PatternFollow the crochet pattern above and get it done until the last row last stitch for the 1st layer. Only work on back loops as we need to use the front loops to crochet the 2nd layer.

Follow the 1st layer’s tension or else you might encounter some “shrinkage” in size. Use a bigger hook if needed to achieve the same tension.
