How to crochet a clutch Bag with Lining

There are always times when we need a bag but not carry ALL THE THINGS that we normally have in our purse or handbag.


A crochet clutch purse or bag is the perfect solution for downsizing what you carry so you can keep the essentials on hand without weighing yourself down.


This free crochet clutch bag pattern is a great way to learn how to crochet a clutch purse for beginners as there is minimal shaping to the bag itself.


This crochet clutch has a simple construction of just 2 parts:

  • Front panel
  • worked using the filet crochet technique
  • folded to create the bag shape
  • seamed with simple crochet stitches to secure the sides
  • Lining
  • crochet a same sized lining and seam together

or

  • fabric lining with light interfacing for more structure


Whichever way you choose to line your bag, you'll create a stunning bag that allows the crochet heart details to shine through.
