Flower-trimmed clutch

[studiotamar]

 

This is my very first post on Crochetville - nothing quite as complicated as the lovely bags I've been noticing around here, but I am still a relatively new crocheter so I am happy with how it turned out! The lining inside is the same fabric the bag is resting on in the photo.

 

The patterns for both bag & flower are in "The Happy Hooker" book. (More details over at my blog.)

A very good job for a 'relatively new crocheter'. It looks smart. Use your new clutch bag and you will receive lots of compliments.

Wow, thanks so much for all the kind compliments! What a warm reception!

 

The yarn I used is Zara (made by Filatura Di Crosa). I had bought 2 balls to make a hat, but the hat took only 1 ball. So I thought this little clutch would be the prefect "1 skein wonder" and it was - but it took exactly one ball, I had maybe 10cm left over at the end! I do think cotton yarn would have been even better for this bag, but since I had that 1 extra ball of Zara...
