Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn (choose a soft, muted gray for a minimalist aesthetic)
• Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Closure: Magnetic snap or button with a chain stitch loop
• Optional: Fabric for lining (for added durability)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 41 stitches. This will be the base of your clutch.
2. Row 1: Starting from the second chain from the hook, single crochet in each chain across. You should have a total of 40 stitches. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to start the row. Single crochet in the first stitch, then *double crochet in the next stitch, single crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * until you reach the end of the row. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1 to start the row. Single crochet in each stitch across. Turn your work.
5. Repeat: Continue to alternate between Row 2 and Row 3 until your piece measures 8 inches from the starting edge. This will create the beautiful wave texture.
6. Finishing: Once you reach the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
7. Folding: Fold the piece in half with the right sides facing each other, aligning the edges neatly.
8. Seaming: Using a slip stitch or whip stitch, seam the sides of the clutch together. Make sure to secure the stitches tightly for durability.
9. Turning: Carefully turn the clutch right side out, so the textured side is facing outwards.
10. Closure: For the closure, attach a magnetic snap to the top edge of the clutch or sew on a button and create a loop with a chain stitch on the opposite side to secure it.
11. Optional Lining: If you desire extra durability, cut a piece of fabric to fit the inside of the clutch and sew it in place.
