My raffia obsession continues! After making my gorgeous Raffia Coasters, I thought “Wouldn’t this make a fabulous basket?” So, I set out to create a fabulous Mini Raffia Basket that is great for holding plastic utensils on a dining table, pens on a desk, or even your crochet hooks! I hope you enjoy the pattern! Happy Crocheting!
