Simple Small Crochet Gift Bag

 I found this unique yarn called Kithed Rafia Yarn. I found it on Amazon.

I did a little research about the yarn with the help of AI and this is what I have:

 Eco Andaria is a yarn produced by the brand Kithed. It is known for being eco-friendly, often made from sustainable materials. The yarn is designed for various knitting and crocheting projects, offering a range of colors and textures suitable for different types of garments and accessories. Eco Andaria is typically lightweight and soft, making it a popular choice for creating breathable and comfortable fabrics. based on the product information, the raffia yarn can withstand getting wet occasionally. The product details state that the yarn does not disintegrate under water and has a slight waterproof property due to its special material component which is not paper. It also mentions that the yarn can be gently wiped with a damp towel.

Of course, you don't have to use this yarn to make this bag.

Materials:

Rafia yarn or any size 4 weight yarn

Size G or 4.5 mm hook

stitch marker

scissors

yarn needle


Chain 19

Row 1: sc in the second chain from the hook, sc in each chain across. ch 1, turn

Row 2-4 sc in each stitch across, ch 1, turn

Working around the base

Round 1: sc in the next18 sc, turn work to the side, 4 sc along the side, working on the other side of the foundation chain sc in the next 18 stitched, turn and work 4 sc on the last side, join with the first sc, ch1

44 sc

Round 2:  Work AROUND from the back of each sc around.

or you could work in the back loop of each sc. 44 sc

Working in continuous rounds, use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of the round. Sc in each sc for about 18 rounds or until the desired height. sc until you are at an end of the bag. With 44 sc total, that is 22 sc per side. Find the sc that looks like it is the first of the side.

Making the handle

1) Sc in the first 6 sc of a side, ch 25, skip 10, sc in the next 2 sc, TURN

2) Skip the first 2 sc, 25 sc in each chain 25, skip the next sc, Special Slip Stitch in the next 2 sc. Turn

Special Slip Stitch= insert the hook in the SC from Behind and do the slip stitch as normal

3) Skip the first 2 special slip stitches, sc in the next 25 sc of the handle and sc in the next 4 sc on the bag.

This should finish of one side of the bag and ready to do the other handle. Repeat steps 1-3

Finish off. I did this by securing the loop, use the yarn needle to run the tail through the next sc from the front then going through the back loop of the last sc that was just done.

I have a video tutorial on how to make the bag:
