Here is a pattern for a fun summer purse or cute pouch. It’s great for just strolling around the coffee shops or downtown in the sun. This easy pattern by Caitie Moore has a highly varied texture, and it’s just begging for some fun with yarn colors. While the base will use up a bunch of a single hue, the flower petals themselves are a great idea for the yarn ends that always seem to accumulate. That aside, it’s just a fun project to make and a fun accessory to carry!
Materials for Making This Crochet Clutch
This crochet pouch pattern calls for DK yarn, but obviously, you can experiment with other types depending on how robust you’d like your clutch. Use cotton or a cotton blend for a more sturdy and structured bag. Crochet your pouch with a 2.75 mm hook so the stitches are nice and tight to hold all of your small essentials.
What Crochet Techniques Are Used in This Pattern?
This is a great pattern for crocheters who want to try their hand at a more challenging project. The pattern requires basic stitches like single crochet, slip stitch, and double crochet, along with joining techniques to assemble the flower squares. The flower squares are crocheted individually with popcorn stitches and then slip-stitched together to form the clutch shape.
How Do I Attach a Zipper or Button Closure?
To secure your Flower Clutch Bag, either sew in a zipper or add buttons for a decorative closure. Use the needle and thread to sew the zipper in along the inside of the clutch so that the fabric stretches evenly. If you would rather have buttons on there, crochet the button loops onto the front panel so you can fasten them securely.
Awesome! I really like it!
