About the Pattern

A Crochet Pattern For A Summer Clutch Bag Made With T-shirt Yarn

Your go-to summer clutch bag pattern made with soft, sustainable T-shirt yarn!

Get ready to create the ultimate summer accessory with the POCKETFUL OF SUNSHINE BAG crochet pattern.

This beautifully designed clutch bag is lightweight yet sturdy, making it perfect for warm weather outings, beach days, festivals, or casual everyday use.

The pattern uses generic T-shirt yarn, so you can pick your favorite colors and textures to match your unique style.

What You’ll Make:

A versatile clutch bag measuring approximately 7 x 26 x 18 cm (width x length x height), designed with adaptability in mind.

The bag features a flat bottom for stability and a roomy interior perfect for carrying all your essentials.

Plus, it comes with an optional detachable shoulder strap that measures 3 x 120 cm, complete with metal rings and snap hooks —

so you can wear it crossbody, over your shoulder, or simply carry it as a clutch.

Why You’ll Love This Pattern:

Adjustable Dimensions: Want a bigger or smaller bottom? Simply add or subtract stitches from your foundation chain.

Need it taller or shorter? Customize the height by adding or reducing rows wherever you prefer in the pattern.

This flexibility allows you to make the bag perfectly suited to your needs.

Detachable Strap: The shoulder strap can be easily attached or removed using metal rings and snap hooks

(you’ll find instructions for adding these in the pattern).

Plus, the strap length is adjustable with a clasp for ultimate comfort and style versatility.

Simple Materials: The pattern is designed for T-shirt yarn, a fun and eco-friendly material made from recycled fabric.

This yarn type gives your bag a durable, structured feel but remains soft to the touch.

Feel free to experiment with different yarn brands or colors to make a truly personalized piece!

Detailed Instructions: Written using US crochet terms, the pattern is clear and beginner-friendly.

Step-by-step directions guide you through the entire process, from foundation chain to finishing touches.

Finishing Touches: The pattern also includes tips for adding two metal rings—perfectly sized keychain rings work wonderfully—

placed below the handle openings for a professional and polished look.
