The Melina Clutch is my homage to that awesome crochet bag designer of the 40s, K. Melina. I discovered her while doing research on this article for Crochet Insider.

This clutch is a quick spring or summer project. It uses dk weight cotton, held double. Most any cotton (of appropriate weight) can be used. It can also easily be dressed up with different yarn, beads, or special buttons for a stylish evening bag.
