Clara bag was designed with the intention of being a timeless and versatile. Clara bag pattern uses US crochet terminology and is suitable for advanced beginners. The pattern allows you to recreate this bag to any dimensions, using any yarn & hook you would like.

Materials needed:
- Yarn size- fingering weight yarn to worsted weight ( 4 ply- 10 ply)
if you want a dainty look I suggest a lighter weight like fingering weight
