Materials Needed for the Sun City Bag
Make this round crochet bag pattern by Ksenia Naidyon in raffia yarn like King Cole Raffia or Ra-Ra Raffia Wool and the Gang. Approximately about 7 oz (200 g) of medium-weight raffia yarn makes this bag sturdy enough for general use.
A 3 mm crochet hook (or size needed to achieve gauge), tapestry needle, and stitch markers will come in handy too. Optionally, you can also prepare 11yds/10m of millinery wire for added structure.
Crochet Techniques You’ll Learn with This Pattern
The Sun City Bag is a great way to expand your crochet skills while making an easy and satisfying project.
This project is worked in the round to create two identical panels to join together and form the bag. It’s a perfect opportunity to practice techniques such as single crochet and chain stitch to make the straps. If you’ve never used raffia yarn before, this is a great pattern to get started.
Adding a cute little tassel is the last step that makes the bag 100% yours and brings extra fun.
