A very delicate and popular crochet technique made from knitted yarn is what is fashionable. The resulting products are very cute. A completely different idea of crocheting. But are all schemes so good for clutch situations? All the subtleties when making a wonderful crocheted handbag from knitwear. And also the most beautiful diagrams for the product below.
Features of making a knitted clutch
This knitting option is very suitable for craftsmen. The most attractive thing about it is the virtual absence of solid support, which regular yarn would necessarily require. The thing is that knitwear, when knitted, turns out to be very dense and stable. In this case, only soft material can be used for lining. There are no restrictions on colors here; the brighter, the more appetizing the handbag will be. Particular attention will need to be paid to decorations, clasps and handles, perhaps it will be a simple chain, but it also needs to be installed somehow so that it does not look like cheap and quick knitting, but a very exclusive and finished thing.
What patterns are suitable for knitting a clutch?
The most important thing in a pattern is its density. A definite no goes to all meshes and something like that with large distances of air loops. All the lace should be given to napkins and skirts. And here it is worth looking at columns, half-columns, dense shells and dense fantasy patterns.
The binding in the form of a tight border is very beautiful and immediate.
A dense shell will look good in a combination of several colors of such wonderful knitwear.
The fantasy pattern in such a voluminous fiber looks very interesting.
Popcorn, only dense, will also work well for this product.
Single crochet squares at different angles can also be classified as fantasy patterns, the pattern is so unusual.
Scheme and description of crocheting a clutch
A very simple clutch to make, but it looks so cute. The model is more suitable for everyday use, there is nothing overly luxurious in it. Just another cute and pleasant thing that you will be glad to see every day.
The work will require:
- knitted thread (three colors: gray, blue and emerald);
- hook number 4.
Stage: measurements. There are no special GOST standards for a clutch. But more often the models are made in the following sizes: 20 cm, 14 cm and 5 cm.
Stage: sample. Be sure to knit the sample using the pattern diagram provided.
Stage: bottom. First you need to tie the bottom. This is a small but long rectangle. Execute it using the given diagram. For the width, use 20 cm. The length of the rectangle should be 5 cm.
Stage: sides. After completing the bottom, the product must be knitted in circular rows along the edge of the rectangle, without adding or decreasing stitches. Use gray yarn for the bottom and make the first 4 rows in the same color.This way the transition will be less noticeable. Next, switch to emerald color, knit 3 rows according to the pattern. One row of gray yarn. Two rows of blue and switch to gray again. The remaining three rows are done in gray. At this point the parties are ready.
Stage: lining. Sew in the lining and the zipper at the same time. So that the edges of the zipper are not noticeable, it will need to be inserted between the knitwear and the lining fabric. The dimensions of the lining are equal to the dimensions of the bag: 20-14-5.
Final stage
At the final stage, we create decorations and functionally useful additions.
- This model will be decorated with a small tassel made of emerald jersey. Attach it to the carabiner and fasten the carabiner with a zipper. This way you will get a decoration and a convenient zipper clasp.
- For the handle, you can use a chain that is attached to a carabiner clasp. A handle made from the same fiber also looks original, for example, with a pattern of simple double crochets or double crochets.
- For wraparound models, it is more convenient to use original button fasteners. Latches and locks are also good. Various versions of pin and twist locks.
- Everything unusual makes the product complete and even more attractive. Some models have an additional pocket on the side of the product. It also requires a closure, but quite often a hidden zipper works well.
- The result will be no less attractive if you use unusual brooches, embroidery or crocheted flowers as decoration.
