Dear Crocheter,

When warm breezes blow, meet them head-on with a stylish hat you make yourself. Hats and more are part of our Raffia Crochet Collection, with plenty of summer breeze inspiration!

You’ll turn heads when you wear your own Beach Happy Raffia Hat. This floppy hat has a vented crown to keep you cool in the sun, and you can go from floppy to firm by working a wire into the brim. You’ll love how well this hat holds its shape. Finish it off with your own inspirational word!

The Ridley Raffia Crochet Bucket Hat, featured on our cover, is an even more carefree cover-up for your head in hot weather. Its organic shape is easy to work up in just an hour or two. This pattern is rated easy, using a granny-style stich in a pattern that’s easy to memorize. Take some extra raffia with you to the beach and make a hat for a friend — fringe or no fringe!

 

For a super summer accessory, make our Caicos Raffia Purse. This stunning, trendy bag looks like you got it at an island shop, but you can make it anywhere it in a weekend! Popcorn stitches add texture, and a metal closure keeps everything safely tucked inside. If you need something a little roomier, maybe you’d enjoy our Round Trip Raffia Bag with it bead-accented motifs and sunny round shape!

 

Our Raffia Crochet Collection also includes patterns for light and airy accessories you can make for yourself, friends, or family! Make Adored I-Cord Bracelets for an extra splash of color and unique style, or take the spirit of the ocean with you wherever you go with our Sand & Sea Raffia Earrings. Our Raffia Crochet Collection has everything you need to get started for a great day in the sunshine!

Each one of these patterns in I Like Crochet includes:

• Complete stitch instructions
• List of materials, notions, and hook size
• Pattern and special stitch notes
• Finishing instruction
• Full-color, detailed photographs of each pattern

So whether you’re an old hand at crocheting or your hooks are still neatly aligned in their case, you get everything you need to make every pattern. Enjoy the warm weather with accessories you make yourself. Here’s to warm weather breezes!

These patterns in the Raffia Crochet Collection offer plenty of interesting projects that will let you make stunning pieces no matter your skill level.
