Every girl needs a stylish, beautiful handbag. Many people love clutches because of their miniature size and original stylish look. This is the best option for a party. It is also suitable for everyday use.

Ideally, there should be a different handbag for each outfit, or at least for different seasons of the year, but finances often do not allow this to be achieved. There is nothing easier than knitting a clutch bag yourself. A handmade handbag has many advantages: you definitely won’t see another one like it, you can choose the color, size and accessories for the clutch yourself. This will certainly add originality to the image and make you stand out from the crowd.

Look at the original clutches the craftswomen made, you definitely won’t find these in stores

How to crochet a clutch from knitted yarn

Fashionable clutch knitted from knitted yarn

Let's also consider knitting such a gray-pink clutch. It knits, like all clutches, just to the point of disgrace, and the combination of pink and gray is relevant for all times. However, if you decide to use some other color combination, it will also work out well. And if you stick to the black and white color scheme, you’ll get a super fashionable clutch. Useful cheat sheet:

Materials: yarn “Narcissus” (400 m/100 g, 100% cotton) – 30 g pink, 30 g gray; hook No. 2, some beads for the valve, 1 button for fastening.

Knitting a gray-pink clutch

Knit a chain of 73 chain stitches + 1 chain stitch. Knit 33 rows according to the pattern, alternating the color of the thread every 2 rows. You will end up with a rectangle. Fold the clutch as indicated on the pattern. Tie the sides together using single crochets. Sew a button on the back of the flap and on the front. If desired, sew beads onto the clutch valve.

This is what this clutch looks like in white and black

The knitting pattern is the same as for the gray-pink clutch. According to the pattern, knit a rectangle 34*24 cm. Knit with a “crawfish step”.

Let's consider the manufacturing moments

The fabric used for the lining was crepe satin 25*70cm. Fold in half to form a rectangle the size of the knitted fabric, and sew on both sides to create a pocket.

We insert 1 half of the magnetic button so that the “legs” of the button are not visible on the other side of the lining.

And we sew the knitted fabric to the lining. We do not sew the pocket, but pin it with pins

We knit the sides. Sew a lining to them (optional). Sew to the clutch.

We insert the second half of the button, trying on the place when applying the top valve.

Sew on the chain. To make it look neat, we hook a thread to the back loop of the chain, then the seam will not be visible. We sew up the “pocket” with a hidden seam.

If desired, you can decorate the clutch with beads

In recent years, a variety of handmade products have become popular: handbags, clothes, underwear. In particular, knitted items are in trend, so an accessory such as a crocheted clutch, its patterns and description are popular. Having certain skills, you can knit a product in just a couple of hours. It is important to choose the yarn, study the technique and find decorative inserts. The knitting pattern depends on the purpose of the mini-handbag.

Every outfit can be turned into a bright ensemble if you add a spectacular accessory to your look. A clutch is a small handbag with or without a strap, which is compact and convenient. Today this accessory can be combined with different clothing styles. Wearing recommendations:

• the color scheme should match the chosen clothing or other accessories, for example, a belt may have the same shade as a handbag;
• the clutch fits any style, with the exception of sports;
• the handbag does not have to be worn on your hand, especially if there is a belt;
• The more complex the clothing and the more decorative elements it has, the simpler the clutch should be.

A clutch used to be considered a piece of ladies' clothing that should only be carried in the hands. Belts, handles, and decor were not provided. They put money in it - coins, bills. In the 18th century, women thought that a handbag was not beautiful enough to carry valuables in, so they began to decorate it with lace, bows and pearls.

Currently, crocheted clutches are in demand. Modern fashionistas have a choice of models to suit every taste that will perfect their stylish look. The more complex the cut of the bag, the more decorations are required. A new fashion trend has become a clutch, crocheted or knitted. A handmade product is unique.

Yarn selection

A fashionable crochet clutch can be made from the following types of threads:

• dense wool - used for winter and autumn accessories, it is characterized by high density and wear resistance;
• acrylic is a synthetic yarn that has all the qualities of wool and is an advantageous replacement for it;
• knitted yarn – gives the product pomp and volume, is easy to knit.

In recent years, Parisian fashion houses have hosted exhibitions of exclusive knitted clutches created from ordinary thin sewing threads. Silk and golden threads were used for decoration. The appearance of such products captivated French fashionistas.

Description of the process taking into account the model

A crocheted clutch is not only original, but also individual. The master can implement any of his ideas in it. To make an interesting ornament, choose a model, technique and yarn, you should familiarize yourself with the master classes. Patterns and descriptions of crocheting a clutch are presented in large quantities on the Internet.

Embossed columns with beads

The process of creating a crocheted clutch, its diagrams and description are presented below. To work you will need:

• fluffy yarn made of cotton or ecological wool;
• 15 g large round beads;
• hook No. 9-10.

Sequencing:

1. A chain of 24 air loops is cast, an unfinished row is created around each: st. b/n for 24, 2-10 rows – st. b/n for 12.
2. Next, rows 3-7 are knitted - with an interval of ½ per st. b/n for 10.
3. To obtain the product, the side seams are connected with a needle, and a magnet with a lock is installed on the lid.

Round or square beads are used to decorate those elements of the product that do not carry a functional load. This crocheted clutch bag can be complemented with accessories - a brooch or a scarf belt. The process of creating a product is quite simple; the work will take 4-6 hours.

Openwork

• napkin;
• cotton fabric;
• Bobilon knitting threads 3-5 mm;
• carbines;
• magnetic clasp.

To crochet a clutch, you need to adhere to the following recommendations:

• It is necessary to cut out a lining from a napkin (linoleum, oilcloth) to create a double-sided bag;
• perform DC columns for 4 rows, BN + fluffy for 5 rows BN, DC for 3, 5 DC for 3 + 3 tiers of 3 columns;
• sew the side parts, except one (it looks like a bag);
• Insert the napkin into the bag and turn it right side out.

The description and pattern for crocheting a clutch is not very complicated, but beginners should study the video. The work will take about 6-8 hours. If you knit tightly with thin threads, the napkin will lie flush against the lining. If the bag is too narrow, you should continue to knit it in single crochet size. If you add a yarn over through the row, the clutch will be looser.

After the fabric is knitted, the bag needs to be connected on the sides: carabiners are inserted into the loops in advance according to the scheme: C1H for 4 + every 10 loops double B/N for 2+3. At the connection point there is 1VP. They need to be sewn to the edges of the bag. A pigtail strap can be made upon request. A beautiful crocheted clutch according to this pattern will combine favorably with an evening outfit and a simple summer dress.

Intricate women's clutches, knitted with knitting needles, differ from those created by crochet. Firstly, the models turn out to be more voluminous, and secondly, more interesting. But you can also crochet original things, for example, with a chess pattern. An important feature is that the loops and stitches are arranged in such a way as to create the illusion of different rows.

To work you will need:

• hook corresponding to the selected yarn;
• threads of different colors.

Execution process:

• knit in the round, cast on a number of stitches that is a multiple of 9, for example, 153 (if the thread is thick, less is possible);
• knit the second row with your favorite pattern, perform every 9th loop in a different color;
• in the third row - 9-10 and so on;
• when you get a row of loops of the same color, you need to start using threads of a different shade.

Crocheting clutches with diagrams and descriptions is easy. However, working with fine yarn remains a relevant and labor-intensive process. Required materials and tools:

• black cotton threads;
• button or magnet to match the yarn;
• hook size 2-4 mm.

Execution process:

1. We are selecting a number of used items, since the bag should be light, strict and elegant.
2. Every 3-6-9 rows we make C1H + back wall + VP on 27 sts. B/N.
3. The lid and edging can be openwork, in the form of patterns or tightly knitted: C3H + VP B/N for 26 rows.

Fold the finished fabric in half, marking the bottom of the bag with the desired width. From the wrong side we sew two rows of threads - the seams should imitate the volume of the handbag. Guipure ornaments and rhinestone decor are not suitable. The magnet or button must be sheathed separately so that the yarn does not stretch under the weight. This crochet clutch may seem difficult for beginning needlewomen, but the fabric can be created in 2-3 hours.

How to decipher crochet patterns

In sewing and knitting there are symbols that are presented in the form of abbreviations. You should remember them in order to work faster. Crochet bag patterns with descriptions are often accompanied by the following abbreviations:

• PS – half-column;
• CH – double crochet;
• C2H – double crochet stitch;
• PSh – lush column;
• RLS – single crochet;
• VP – air loop;
• C3H, C4H - double and triple crochets.

When we crochet clutch bags, we focus on the diagrams - it’s easier than reading text explanations. For this reason, a novice needlewoman should first of all learn to understand the symbols.

To master crocheting, you need to learn how to create an air loop, double crochet and single crochet. Patterns consist of a combination of these elements and their derivatives. Basic crochet techniques:

1. The very first step is to complete the loop. It is done as follows: you need to take the selected thread, throw it on your index finger, insert the hook under the yarn, and turn to the left. As a result, a loop is formed that needs to be pulled out with a tool.
2. Air loops. To create them, you need to grab the thread with a hook and pull it through the loop. If you do this several times, you will get a chain of air loops.
3. Single crochet. You need to insert the hook into the loop, carefully grab the thread, and pull it back. Next, you need to yarn over again and pull it through 2 loops.
4. Double crochet. Yarn over, insert the hook into the loop, grab the thread, and pull it back. Next, yarn over again and pull it through 2 loops. Then grab the thread again and repeat the previous action.

As our master classes show, creating a beautiful knitted clutch is quite simple. There are a huge number of model options. Making a handbag takes little time and minimal effort. You can easily crochet your clutch to a separate outfit to always look your best. Inspiration and good mood to you.

Selection with diagrams

When starting to work on creating a thing, you must study all the nuances and features in order to choose the right materials and tools, successfully choose the model and method of knitting, and knit a test sample. Choose threads that are strong and smooth; knitting tools - matched to threads. Before you start working, you need to determine for yourself the location of the beads in the product. This can be an arbitrary arrangement of beads, regardless of the size and color of the beads in the knitted fabric, or you can set a certain rhythm, create a pattern or ornament with their help.

The models, patterns and diagrams offered in a number of magazines can serve as a starting point for imagination; in any case, the choice will be yours. If you want to arrange the beads in a certain order, then you must knit a sample, having first drawn a pattern on paper (preferably graph paper). When doing this kind of work, it is better to strictly adhere to the knitting pattern. Products involving the use of beads require certain skills, patience and time investment than usual (you need to string the beads on the knitting thread). But these things always pay off with interest - they look extremely elegant and attract attention with a certain “mystery” of execution.

A crocheted clutch will decorate a gentle feminine look both in casual wear and in a going out outfit. If they wish, needlewomen can knit such a fashionable and stylish compact handbag in one evening.

The first model is made of ordinary acrylic with a No. 2.5 crochet hook. The pattern of lush columns gives volume and texture to the knitted fabric. Thanks to this pattern, the product keeps its shape, but it must be supplemented with lining fabric so that the knitting does not deform during wear.

A handbag made of bright sunny yarn will go well with summer outfits. And if you change the color of the thread to milky or noble beige, the handbag will perfectly complement an evening dress or a formal suit for going to a concert or performance.

Classic crocheted clutches with patterns

Stock up on quality yarn, hooks, lining fabric and an attractive miniature clasp.

Advice! After selecting the appropriate threads and knitting pattern, work a pattern of 10 stitches per 10 rows and see how the pattern looks. Based on the sample, calculate the number of loops for your future cute handbag. Then feel free to get to work. There are three models for needlewomen to choose from:

• a bright red clutch knitted with a “Fan” pattern;

• openwork handbag with a tassel made of mouse yarn;

• output black version with large shiny beads.

All models are united by one pattern - a rectangle 20 by 30 cm.
The fabric is knitted in a straight line (according to the pattern), then a lining is attached to the piece. Fold along the fold lines. You get two halves that are sewn together on the sides, and the small lid is closed with an elegant lock.
A fashionable clutch is usually worn in the left hand and contains ladies' essentials: a wallet, a phone, a mirror and a minimum set of cosmetics.

Crocheted clutches from knitted yarn

Experienced craftswoman Helen Maret from Portugal created her own design. The originality of the idea lies in the creation of semicircular rows that fit beautifully and decorate the model. Using a thick hook No. 9-10, a chain of 23 air loops is cast on, and then unfinished rows are knitted around the chain according to the pattern.

At the end of the row, an arrow shows where the knitting is going. It is enough to complete only 10 rows to get a beautiful clutch with a semicircular lid.

On a note! You will get convex tracks on the canvas if you knit embossed non-woven columns. To do this, the hook does not cling to both walls, but to the back or front half of the loop of the previous row. Fold the finished part on the folds. Connect the side seams with a needle and thread. The lid is equipped with handles and a magnetic lock.

Crochet pattern for clutches made from ribbon yarn

Fashion does not stand still. The usual rectangular handbags turn into folders or round pill bags.
To work you will need:

• Yarn Ribbon – 1 skein, length 100 m, width 7-9 mm;
• hook No. 10;
• zipper 20 cm to match the color of the yarn;
• chain 30 cm long;
• 3 rings.

The work begins with the Amigurumi ring. Knit 6 single stitches. According to the scheme, as in the photo, a round part is made to the desired size.

To move to the side borders, two rows of non-woven stitches are knitted, and in the first row the hook clings to the back walls of the base loops. The second part is made in the same way, and using a needle with a large eye, the halves are sewn together. When connected, some of the loops remain open, and the zipper takes its place on the upper half of the product.

Sew three rings: two on the sides, the handle will cling to them, and one on the front side of the clutch, a cute tassel of ribbons will hang on it. The handle is created from a chain and twisted thread; if desired, the needlewoman can decorate the handbag with a long, fashionable fringe.

Black and white clutch with beads for a stylish girl

From two balls of black and white yarn a real knitted beauty is created! According to the presented pattern, mirror fans are crocheted with hook No. 2.5-3, and the color of the yarn changes in every third row. The finished fabric is tied around the perimeter with black thread. The sides are made according to a small scheme.

Sew them on both sides of the product. The reverse side is reinforced with thick fabric or flexible plastic in a black lining. All that remains is the beadwork. Along the entire edge of the clutch, the clutch is decorated with small black beads, the middle of the motifs are complemented by white beads, and the light rays of the pattern are trimmed with small dark ones.

Advice! You don't have to stick with a black and white clutch. Gradient combinations are at the peak of fashion now: lilac and purple, pink and crimson! Select beads to match the color of the two-color yarn used.
Girls will love contrasting ones, because they successfully complement the daring youth look.

Openwork clutch: step-by-step photos

To knit such a weekend pattern, you will need some bright yarn, a No. 3 hook, a lining to match the threads and a plastic stand as an elastic base.

A plastic rectangle is cut out according to the size of the clutch, and two pieces of lining fabric are slightly larger than the elastic base. The cover is sewn on the machine on all sides, and the part is folded along two fold lines. Using an openwork pattern, a long rectangle is knitted and sewn into the prepared base.

On a note! The finished knitted piece for the bag stretches a lot, so it should be slightly smaller in size than the plastic lining.

Using a simple oval pattern, the sides are made (2-3 circular rows) and sewn on both sides of the clutch.

It is advisable to make loops on these parts. A carabiner from a long knitted handle will then cling to them.

Note to beginning needlewomen! Using the suggested pattern, create a beautiful braided cord. It will serve as a cute handle.

An elegant openwork clutch complements the festive look. Therefore, choose a yarn that will match with an evening dress or formal fashion suit.

Bright clutch with ornament

Leftover yarn can become the basis for creating such a model. To work, you will need 4 balls of different colors, hook No. 3 and a secret button for fastening. A chain of 56 air loops is cast on and the forward and reverse rows are knitted according to the pattern using a “Zigzag” pattern. The thread changes. To do this, a new contrasting color is introduced in each row marked with a blue tint.

Adviсe! During the knitting process, threads that are not in use are not cut, but are hidden inside the side posts and wait their turn. When changing yarn, the last two loops on the hook are knitted in a new color, and a smooth, beautiful transition is obtained. The finished canvas is reinforced with a lining and folded along the folds. Side seams connect the bag, and a cable knit cord adds a comfortable detail for everyday wear.

Spacious clutches with flowers

This model is perfect for evening walks and trips to cafes. To work you will need about 100 g of yarn of your favorite shade, hook number 3 and a long chain for the handle. The execution is simple, it is important to follow the clear instructions from the Japanese magazine and everything will definitely work out!
