Beach Basket

"This basket is super easy to make and will surely become your favorite summer accessory. Hit the beach with style and confidence! It's made of two colors of raffia, with cotton handles added once the basket is finished. Pattern uses single crochet stitch (US terms) from the beginning to the end! The minute I saw this ra-ra raffia, I knew I needed to make some kind of bag with it. There were many ideas, some frogging, but I’ve ended up making a very simple, clean shape. Adding cotton handles was cherry on top! I hope you will like the simplicity of this Beach Basket too! It’s a great mindless project, that can be easily completed on a summer weekend. Have fun!
