Add a pop of color and personality to your style with the Raspberry groove clutch! It is perfect for carrying essentials, as a makeup bag, or as an everyday accessory. You could even use it to store your hooks.

Supplies Needed
Approx 360-405 yds of size 4 medium-weight cotton yarn. Since you will be holding 2 strands together for most of the pattern, you may want 2 skeins of yarn to pull from. While there are alternative methods to accomplish this, most find it easiest to pull from 2 skeins. I used I Love This Cotton by Hobby Lobby in the colors green and raspberry. Green being my main color. Raspberry being my contrasting color. Using different color combinations creates different vibes. There are no rules for the color pairings, so feel free to be creative.

6.5 mm and 5.0 mm hook or size needed to obtain gauge

Zipper canvas bag 9 in x 7 in

Scissors, yarn needle, tape measure, stitch markers, cardboard for making fringe, sewing needle, thread to match the contrasting color

2 beads or other embellishments for the zipper pull as well as a bit of leftover yarn, small yarn needle or crochet hook to attach beads to yarn
