DIY Soft Raffia Bag Tutorial – Step-by-Step Guide

Jul 13 2025

Looking for a stylish and simple bag project? In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create a beautiful handmade bag using Sensy’s Softee Raffia Yarn in Latte along with their handy phone kit. Perfect for beginners or seasoned crocheters, this project comes together quickly and looks amazing!

✂️ Materials You'll Need:

Sensy Soft Raffia Ropes in Latte
Sensy Phone Kit
Crochet hook (size appropriate for raffia yarn)
Scissors
Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

🪡 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Start Your Base

Begin by creating a foundation row. Insert your hook into a single hole and make three double handrails (US: double crochet stitches) in the same hole. This forms a sturdy base and gives the bag its textured look.

Step 2: Continue the Pattern

In each gap above the previous row, crochet three double handrails again. This creates a consistent and tightly woven appearance.

Step 3: Moving Up a Row

At the end of each row, chain stitch twice to move to the next row. These two chain stitches will count as your first double handrail in the next row.

Step 4: Complete the Trio

Next to your chain stitches, crochet two more double handrails into the same space. This completes the group of three for that row.

Step 5: Finish the Rows

Repeat the pattern across each row, remembering to slide stitch at the end to keep your rows even and seamless.

Step 6: Assemble and Add the Kit

Once your desired bag size is reached, attach the pieces from the Sensy Phone Kit. This usually includes a phone case holder, handles, and any additional hardware. Secure everything tightly.

✨ Final Look:

The result? A stylish, soft-textured bag with a natural look, perfect for summer outings or as a chic everyday accessory. You'll love how easy it is to make—and how professional it looks once finished!
