Raffia Ruffled Tote

This gorgeous bag just makes me want to pick up a crochet hook and a hank of Raffia and get going. It is fabulous!

Karin Peter designs and manufactures unique clothing for women and men in her German based studio. Karin has recently segued into crochet - would you believe this is her first attempt!

Karin has very cleverly used the ends of the raffia strands as a feature of the bag, creating this marvellous ruffle effect. It saves all the effort of working the ends in to hide them!
