Add handmade sparkle to your wardrobe with the Aurelia Crochet Sequin Clutch Pattern.

Designed with a softly structured shape, shimmering sequin yarn and a statement square frame, this elegant crochet evening bag is perfect for weddings, parties, dinners, holiday celebrations and other special occasions.

The clutch is worked from the base upward. You will begin with a flat rectangular base before working the body in joined rounds. The metal handbag frame is crocheted around separately and sewn securely to the top of the bag.

For a professional finish, the pattern includes instructions for adding an optional fabric lining and firm base insert. You will also receive instructions for making the decorative crochet handle shown in the photographs.

Although the finished clutch looks luxurious, the main body uses uncomplicated stitches that allow the beautiful yarn to take center stage.
