The entire pattern is worked using the single crochet stitch (US terms) from start to finish, making it a great choice for beginners or anyone looking for a relaxing, meditative project.
The basket is crocheted with raffia yarn, which gives it structure and a lightweight, summery feel. Once the base is finished, you’ll top it off with cotton handles that give it both strength and polish.
Inspired by the unique texture and color of ra-ra raffia yarn, this pattern was born from creative trial and error. After experimenting with several ideas and even frogging a few, the final design came together as a minimalist, modern basket that showcases the beauty of simple stitches and bold materials.
The addition of the cotton handles gives it a finished look and makes it practical to carry wherever you go.
Whether you’re heading to the beach or just looking for a stylish storage solution, this raffia basket is sure to become one of your favorite accessories. Its easy construction, classic shape, and chic vibe make it a must-make for summer and beyond!
