Crochet Clutch

I am so excited to share with you my very own crochet pattern! It is very simple for those of you who are beginning crocheters or a good first project for those of you who want to learn how to crochet.

I present to you, the Crochet Clutch! 

It closes with two buttons on the front and the back is embellished with a flower appliqué. It is the perfect size to hold credit cards, coupons, mints, make-up, pocket tissues, and much more! A great accessory for your diaper bag or purse.

And because I like you guys so much, I am giving you the pattern for free!


Materials used:
Vanna’s Choice® medium worsted weight yarn
Crochet hook size H-8 (5.0 mm)
2 buttons approx 3/4″ (optional 3rd button for the back)
Tapestry needle


Finished Size: 6.5 x 3.5 inches


Gauge: 14 stitches = 4 in.


Abbreviations:
St: Stitch
Ch: Chain
Sc:  Single crochet



Instructions:
Chain 20 Stitches.
Row 1: Sc in second chain from hook and in each st across, chain 1, turn (19 st)
Row 2-30: Sc in first stitch and in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Row 31:  Sc in first two stitches, chain 2, skip one st, Sc 13, chain 2, skip one st, Sc in last two stitches, Chain 1, turn
Row 32: Sc in first 2 stitches, 3 Sc in 2 chain loop, Sc 13, 3 Sc in 2 chain loop, Sc in last two stitches, do not turn, do not fasten off.
Continue to Sc around all 3 edges (2 Sc in the corner stitches) until you get to the first stitch of Row 32. Join to first st in Row 32, finish off, weave in ends.

Finishing:
Fold so you are leaving a 2.5 inch flap on top. Sc side seams together, fasten off, weave in ends.
Turn inside out and sew buttons on front of pouch so they match up to the button holes.

Flower Applique:
I used Alli Crafts Rounded Five-Petal 3″ Flower Applique with a button in the center. Follow her free pattern or you can choose to embellish as you wish.

  14. I would like to know how to print ONLY the crochet pattern. Every time I try to print one, I wind up with all the comments too. This usually wastes about 2 – 3 extra sheets of paper.

  15. Muriel, You can use the mouse to highlight only the instructions, then in the print menu, under PRINT RANGE choose "selection" and it will print only the words you have highlighted.

    I like the idea of this pattern and will try it. I don't carry a purse normally but when I do go out with a bag and no pockets it would be nice to keep my ID, cash and things in. I was thinking it would be neat to sew a button on the back and make crochet flowers with a hole in the center ( don't use the magic ring) and that way you could make several different fashionable flowers and attach them onto the button and change them out at will.

    • Depends if you want to tie in the mint green into the rug and curtains. You can go brown or even yellow or blue. Just about any color you want, just use these items as your background. Check out hgtv.com for more intsorapiin. Roxanne

    • The beatitudes compilations are simply sublime bro. Need more!! You use a lot of melodic sounds very smooth and soothing with some good deep beats. There are some really nice transitions as well. I first heard about you through the dance chapel 89.7 wocr Olivet, MIMany Blessings

  25. I made something similar for my husband. He is in a nursing home and kept losing his cell phone. I made a little pouch, put a string on it and he wears it around his neck. I've since made several for people at the home.

  27. Love this, I am fairly new to crocheting and I decided to make this. Your directions were so simple and the clutch is totally cute. I also taught a client at my work how to make one. we made a small change to it because we had no buttons. just made a loop and flower to close it instead.
