As the Summer months pass by, there is nothing better than making a crochet purse with bright and different colours. This cute Colourful Clutch Purse is very easy to make since it is Beginner friendly.
This had once been a WIP that I had set aside a long time ago. Know I felt determined to finish off what I started.
Because of its simple yet stylish design, it can be a gift for anyone in your list. Be creative and generous in playing with colours and yarns. feel free to make them in different colours and sizes.
In addition to being stylish and simple, this wonderful Clutch Purse is also suitable for a scrap yarn project to use all your colourful yarn stash! So grab your hook and yarn and let’s get started!
Materials
Crochet Hook ( I used a 4.50mm)
Yarn (I just used scrap yarns for this project, but you can use anything that fits your hook)
scissors
needle
buttons
Notes:
Every chain 1 in the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch
you can make this bag wider or shorter by increasing or decreasing your chain stitches
If you do not like to have a seam of slip stitches you can just make single crochet all the way across without making slip stitches. Just remember to mark the first single crochet you make with a stitch marker.
Abbreviation:
st-stitch
sl-slip stitch
sc-single crochet
ch-chain stitch
Pattern:
With main colour, ch 30
Row 1: make 1 sc on the 2nd ch from the hook. make one sc on each ch. Make 3 sc on the last ch. Turn your work upside down and work 1 sc on each ch across. On the ch of our 1st sc, make 2 more sc on that ch and sl to the first sc. (60 sts)
Row 2: ch 1 and make sc on the first st. Make 1 sc one every st across. sl to 1st sc (60 sts)
Row 3-21: ch 1 and make one sc on each st all the way across and sl to the 1st st. (60sts) When you are done sl to the first st. (you can change colour whenever you like and you can also make the bag taller by adding more rows.)
