Clutch This

In today's post I will present a selection of models of clutch bags and wrist bags. I'm going to be writing a series of posts on pattern options for crochet bags over the next few weeks, starting with this post on clutch and bracelet patterns, moving on to posts on bag patterns, and from there to options for large bags . Style complemented by backpacks and shoulder bags . This would be a wonderful and useful series of posts for my readers, as well as a way to ruin my spell with a nice bag without any damage. Because I can't understand every beautiful bag design I see, right? (Narrator resolutely: He can't.)

Let's start with the Grace Clutch bag designed by Julie Granz LeFrançois. How smart is this clutch? This is not an evening bag, but it is suitable for any occasion where a woman can wear elegant clothes for the outdoors: a wedding day, a lunch or dinner date. And, as you can see, this is the perfect accessory for a simple black outfit.





This is a Debbie Bliss clutch available in the book " Knitted Things for a Gift: 30 Knitted Gifts Made with Love" . This small handbag will go well with an evening dress. After perusing the 15 pages of clutch and bracelet patterns on Ravelry to find patterns for this post, I can tell you that evening knit clutches require certain threads and finds, as clutches associated with regular sweater-like threads tend to look very plain. and cute. . for a night out. You will need to use some type of evening bag material that will look good with a tuxedo: sequin or halo yarn, metallic yarn, new yarn with sequins or flounces, and / or adding beads or other embellishments.





Clutch Smocking Clutch by Laura Zukaite, available in Luxe Knits: Accessories: Couture Adornments to Knitting & Crochet . This day bag is a little larger than the others in this post, and therefore more practical: women tend to wear more things during the working day! I'm not happy with the choice of yarn used here (even if it's alpaca silk), but I like the look of this bag.





A Cecily Gluck MacDonald Buckle Bag . This swatch is available in Vogue Knitting on the Go: Bags Two! This is another clever clutch bag that I think is best used for everyday use, although it can be made into an evening bag with different thread and buckle options if you find a more attractive buckle.





The style of the CoCo bag, designed by Jeanine Le Crassus, mimics the classic Chanel bag. I used to do this with shiny black thread and passing through the links of the silk chain or velvet ribbon instead of the thread.





The Verdigris clutch by Charmaine Fletcher looks like the perfect summer day clutch in cotton or linen.





Clutch by Gwen Portner . This module was published in Bortner's Entrée to Entrelac: The Definitive Guide by Knitter Biased . Other clutches during the day / road. I liked to think of all the different threads that could be used for this, although of course the neutral color combinations are the most versatile.





Ada is published by Louise Harding in Harding Knits from an English Rose: 25 Modern-Vintage Accessories . I love to sew on its cover.





Felt clutch , Jill Wright. Felting is a good direction for making bags, as it significantly increases the drag coefficient. And the right key can do a lot for the clutch.





RYTA felt clutch bag , Tanya Albert. If you like me and like the look of trendy brooches, but don't like wearing them because they leave little holes in your clothes, a felt bag like the one shown here can be the perfect way to flaunt an heirloom or beautiful brooch. . cheap brooch from a discount or local thrift store.





"But I Want Tiffany" by Cheryl Erlandson. I'm not a huge fan of framed bags which seem a little complicated to me, but I can hardly ignore the classic mini bag designs (I have a few too), so I'll conclude this post with a selection of four. of them. This is definitely a cute handbag.





Christina Behnke bag with cascading shirts. By itself, this bag will hold up alongside many more expensive industrial evening bags and is a great way to splurge on new yarn. If you want to save on tires, look for old tire bags in consignment shops where tires can be taken apart and reused.





Morning glory , Angela Sixian Wu. The combination of Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Beads gives a very nice effect.





Diamonds forever , Teresa Williams. This example was published in Williams' Bead Knitting Handbags 1 . It looks like 1930s art deco, and that's what I'm here for.
