How to Make a Chic Raffia Bag with Sensy Yarns – Step-by-Step Guide

Looking for your next crochet or DIY project? In this guide, I’ll walk you through how I created a stunning raffia bag using Sensy's high-quality materials. This stylish and sturdy bag is perfect for everyday use or as a fashionable gift. Let’s get started!

Materials You’ll Need:

• Sensy Raffia Yarns in Latte and Black

• Sensy Bag Base

• Sensy Gold Metallic Thread

• Sensy Bag Clasp

• Crochet hook (size appropriate for raffia yarn)

• Scissors

• Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

Step 1: Start with the Base
Begin by attaching your raffia yarn in latte to the Sensy bag base. This sturdy base provides structure and shape to your bag and makes the process much easier for beginners.

Tip: Make sure your first round is secure and evenly spaced for a polished final look.

Step 2: Build the Body with Raffia Yarn

Continue crocheting the body of the bag with the latte raffia yarn. Use your preferred stitch pattern—single crochet works great for a tight, durable texture.

Step 3: Add a Touch of Shine

Once you've built up a few inches of height, incorporate Sensy's gold metallic thread. You can weave it in between stitches or crochet it together with the raffia yarn to create a shimmering stripe or accent band.

Style Idea: Try adding the gold thread in two or three evenly spaced rows for a subtle glam effect.

Step 4: Switch to Black Yarn

Now switch to Sensy's black raffia yarn to create contrast. This section can be as short or long as you like, depending on your desired bag design. I used it toward the top to create a bold finish.

Step 5: Finish with a Stylish Clasp
Once your bag reaches the desired height, it's time to add the finishing touch—Sensy's bag clasp. Secure it carefully, making sure it's aligned properly with your opening.

The Final Look
And that’s it! A chic, handmade bag using latte and black raffia yarns, highlighted with elegant gold accents and finished with a professional clasp. It's both trendy and functional—perfect for any occasion.
