This clutch bag is perfect for work or a night out. It is roomy enough to carry your essentials, but still gives you a chic sleek line.

You will need a ball of Premier Home yarn in Gray Splash, a size US G/6 (4.25mm) crochet hook, a tapestry needle, sewing needle and thread, and a small button.

Assembly

Fold fabric with the foundation chain meeting the top of the 18th row. Beginning at the bottom right corner join yarn and ch1, single crochet evenly up the side, single crochet across the foundation chain and down the other side. Fasten off and weave in tails.

Sew a decorative button in the center of the front and use the third shell of the middle cluster as the button hole. You may wish to line the bag. If so simply cut a piece of decorative fabric to fit the inside, fold the raw edges under, and whip stitch it onto the stitches all of the way around the lining.
