Meadow Clutch

Elevate your evening look with this elegant meadow clutch. The rich cluster puff texture reads as high-end boutique, and the fold-over flap with a button closure keeps your essentials secure — add the wristlet strap and it goes from clutch to wrist-bag in one clip.

The finished clutch measures about 6 1/2 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches tall with the flap open (6 inches closed). The pattern is written for size 4 yarn with a second set of color-coded numbers for size 5 bulky (or two strands of size 4 held together) if you want a chunkier, more structured bag.

You will need a J hook (6 mm), size 4 yarn (I used Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn), a tapestry needle, scissors, a 2 cm button, and an optional wristlet strap — I link the exact strap I purchased right in the pattern. Stitches are chains, single crochet, half double crochet, and cluster puff, all explained step by step.
