Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn (recommended color: soft dove grey)
• Needles: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Closure: Zipper or button (your choice)
• Scissors for cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches onto your US 6 (4mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are evenly spaced and not too tight.
2. Work in Stockinette Stitch:
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row.
   • Row 2: Purl all stitches across the row.
   Repeat these two rows for a total of 10 rows. This creates the base of your clutch.
3. Begin Geometric Pattern:
   • Row 1: *K5, P5* repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 2: *P5, K5* repeat from * to end of the row.
   Repeat Rows 1-2 for a total of 20 rows. This will form the unique geometric texture of your clutch.
4. Continue in Stockinette Stitch: After completing the geometric pattern, switch back to stockinette stitch. Knit 10 more rows following the same method as before.
5. Bind Off: Once you have completed the stockinette section, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the top edge of your clutch is not too tight.
6. Seam the Sides:
   • Fold the knitted piece in half, right sides together.
   • Using a mattress stitch, seam the sides together. This technique will create an invisible seam for a polished finish.
7. Turn Right Side Out: Carefully turn your clutch right side out so that the seam is hidden inside.
8. Add Closure: Attach a zipper or button closure at the top of your clutch, depending on your preference. Ensure it is securely fastened for functionality.
