Finished: September 1, 2008
Pattern: Adapted from My Favorite Sweater Clutch by Julie Holetz
I made this clutch larger than in the pattern, and did not decrease at the top as much. I eliminated the ribbed top from the pattern, and added a small flap. I used a magnetic closure on the flap to hold it together, and I sewed in the lining by hand. I used the crochet stitches as a guide to evenly space the hand sew stitches.
Yarn: 1 skein Lion Brand Cotton Ease in Taupe
This yarn is very easy to work with and sturdy enough for a purse. I used almost exactly one skein--no leftovers!
I think it
turned out very cute!
