Seaside Clutch Pattern

Silky, sleek and marled to perfection, this clutch will become your favorite accessory. Stunning with heels and a pair of jeans, or just right with your favorite white sundress, this easy-to-make clutch will be so fab, you’ll want one in every color. The chained slip-stitch finish adds a great finish. This simple crochet clutch came to me one day when I was playing with left over embroidery thread. What would happen if I crocheted these beautiful variegated l blues all at the same time. I think the result is stunning.  I adore the marled fabric and the classic style of the white slip stitch finish. The pearl cotton gives the clutch an elegant silky sheen that makes it at home with the dressiest of outfits, and the range of blues means its perfect for your favorite pair of jeans.
