Charlie Clutch Bag
Introduction
This beautiful clutch bag is perfect for dressing up – yourself, a loved one, or even your knitting accessories! Elegant cables adorn both sides of the gently tapered bag surrounding an eye-catching twisted motif, designed to give pleasure to both knitter and bearer alike. The two sides of the bag (knitted flat and seamed, for strength) are knitted identically using two strands of 4ply to create a denser fabric which, when lined with fabric of your choice, creates a truly stunning piece.
Skills Required
Cable cast on, knit, purl, decreasing stitches and knitting with cables.
