Grab and Go Clutch – Free Crochet Pattern

I am excited to share with you the Grab and Go Clutch pattern that uses very little yarn and looks great in so many colors. This is a fun way to use up left over yarn and make a fun accessory to match any outfit.
It would even be a great gift idea for kids to keep their secret treasures in.
So grab some yarn and a button and create a beautiful clutch!

The moss stitch is an easy one row repeat with a classic look. You can easily get into a rhythm crocheting this stitch and your project will fly by!

Let’s keep in touch!

You can find me on Instagram, facebook, Ravelry and Pinterest!
I am always pinning free patterns and would love for you to follow me!

MATERIALS:

• G/4.5mm hook

  I used Red Heart Super Saver Ombre – Spearmint
• Darning needle

NOTES:

• This pattern is written in US terms.
• Ch 1 counts as a stitch (for row 4 and following rows).
• The decreases for the flap are created using a sl st. These are not included in row counts.
• As I was decreasing for the flap, I put stitch markers in each ch following the sl st (decrease) to make it much easier to know where to place my last sl st of the row. This will be mentioned in the pattern as [pm].
• I leave long tails from each piece to sew the two pieces together.

Clutch Assembly

Lay the front piece on top of the back piece with flap, so the bottoms match up. The flap will be folded over the front.

Bring the flap over the front piece to mark the spot for your button. Thread a needle and sew the button on to the front piece (Row 5 small: between st 16 and 17 large: between st 24 and 25)
