The Precious Metal Crochet Clutch Bag is an easy and pretty little purse for a fabulous night on the town.  Great for the essentials, the clutch is worked up in a simple stitch, and topped off with an elegant silvery lace flap.  A gem button closes it beautifully.  If you prefer a night in, use the clutch for a lovely hook bag too!

Finishing and Assembly:

  • With inside facing out (you’ll seam inside out, then turn right side out when done seaming), fold bottom edge (black) up, leaving about an inch of black remaining along top.  
  • Seam sides with a piece of matching yarn and tapestry needle using the whip stitch.  
  • Turn right side out and fold flap over.  
  • Weave in any ends that remain.  
  • Before sewing button on, be sure it can pass through lacy holes first.  
  • Determine where you’d like your button to be (lace holes double up as button holes) and sew button underneath of the flap (the black clutch body part) using a matching piece of yarn.  
  • Button clutch closed and you’re finished!
