@thewoolcatcher: ✨ Crocheting a raffia bag — Step 1: The Base Let’s start the project by making a strong and structured bottom for the bag. I’m using raffia yarn from @thewoolcatcher and a 3.5 mm crochet hook. 📌 How to crochet the base: Start by chaining 11 stitches. Row 1: Work single crochets starting from the 3rd chain from the hook. Continue to the end of the row. Row 2–29: Chain 1, turn your work, and continue crocheting single crochets back and forth in rows. Repeat until you have 29 rows total. This forms a firm rectangle. Next: Work single crochets evenly all around the rectangle. At each corner, make 2 single crochets to create smooth edges. Make 2 identical pieces. Finally: Place both pieces together and join them by crocheting single crochets through both layers around the entire edge. This creates a strong double base that holds the shape of the bag perfectly. Stay tuned for the next step 🤎 #crochet #raffiabag #crochettutorial #handmadebag #thewoolcatcher
