Knit a simple clutch with a double moss stitch.

This is a great beginner project, as you're starting with a rectangle and using a hefty, jersey yarn. You'll cast on your rectangle, cast off, and sew it together to make the clutch form. Follow along with the written tutorial here.

Once you know how to create forms out of your knitted piece, you can add on a strap or closure, or even sew your shape into a totally new piece.

Share a photo of your clutch in the Project Gallery. If you've knitted before, please share previous work for inspiration!

What You'll Need

Knitting Needles. A large size is great to start with.

Or: Tender Loving Clutch Kit from Wool and the Gang. Optional. This includes all of the above, plus directions.
