Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your very own Geometric Harmony Minimalist Clutch:

Starting the Clutch

1. Magic Ring: Begin by creating a magic ring. This will be the foundation of your clutch.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet to close the round.
3. Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 single crochets in each single crochet around. Join (you should have 12 single crochets).
4. Round 3: Chain 1, then (sc in the next sc, 2 sc in the next sc) around. Join (you should have 18 single crochets).
5. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until you reach a total of 60 single crochets. You can do this by adding an additional single crochet between increases as needed.

Working Even

6. Rounds 4-20: Work even in single crochet for 20 rounds. This will form the body of your clutch.

Creating the Flap

7. Row 1: Chain 1, then single crochet in the next 40 single crochets. Turn your work.
8. Rows 2-10: For each row, chain 1, then single crochet across. Turn your work at the end of each row.
9. Finishing: After completing Row 10, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

Assembling the Clutch

10. Fold the Circle: Fold the circular body of the clutch in half.
11. Sewing the Sides: Using a yarn needle and a length of yarn, sew the sides of the clutch together, leaving the flap open.
12. Button Closure: Attach a button to the body of the clutch, ensuring it aligns with the flap for closure.
13. Button Loop: Create a button loop by making a chain stitch on the flap that is long enough to fit around the button.
