4. You will have 6 loops on hook

📏 Sizing

You can customize the clutch to any size.
Basic size suggestion: 9 inches wide × 6 inches tall

🪡 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Row

• Ch 31 (or any odd number to adjust width).

• Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook, sc across. Turn.

2. Start Bobble Rows

Row 2 (Bobble Row):

• BO in next stitch, sc in next stitch

• Repeat (BO, sc) across

• Ensure you end with a sc.

• Turn.

Row 3:

• Ch 1, sc in every stitch across.

🌀 Repeat Rows 2 & 3 until your bag reaches your desired height (usually 15–18 rows).

🧵 3. Finish the Panel

• Once the height is complete, fasten off.

• You should have one textured panel.

🟪 If you want a lined clutch, cut a rectangle of fabric the same size and hand-sew it to the inside later.

👜 4. Fold & Seam

• Fold panel in half, bobble sides out.

• Use a whip stitch or slip stitch to seam the sides.

🔒 5. Add Closure

You can choose one:

Option A: Add a Zipper

• Hand-sew or machine-sew zipper along top edges.

Option B: Button Loop

• Ch 10, attach securely to inside of clutch, sew button on the outside.

Option C: Magnetic Snap

• Attach before adding lining fabric.
