About this Pattern
Gudrun Clutch is a stylish and functional handbag, perfect for those who love combining craftsmanship with modern design. The bag is knitted in stockinette stitch from the bottom up, with a double-knit base for extra stability and durability. It is finished at the top with a clutch frame, giving it a professional and polished appearance. For the final touch, a lining can be sewn in, adding both strength and an exclusive look.
The clutch comes in three sizes: Small (Medium) Large, measuring 20 (24) 28 cm in length, 15 (15) 20 cm in height, and 16 (16) 22 cm in depth. This makes it easy to choose the size that suits your needs — whether it’s for party essentials or everyday small items.
Gudrun Clutch is knitted with two yarns held together: Nepal from Drops (50 g = approx. 75 m) combined with a companion thread such as Bouché Soft (100 g = approx. 350 m), Curly from Go Handmade (50 g = approx. 120 m), or Alpaca Bouclé from Drops (50 g = approx. 140 m). Yarn usage is approx. 50 (75) 100 g Nepal and 30 (40) 50 g companion yarn, depending on the chosen size. This combination creates a lively surface with texture and softness.
The suggested needles are 5 mm (both circular needles 60–100 cm and DPNs), and the recommended gauge is 17 sts × 22 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette, resulting in a dense and durable fabric that holds the bag’s shape beautifully. Yardage for Nepal is approx. 75 m per 50 g.
The bag walls are knitted in one continuous piece from the bottom up, minimizing finishing and creating a clean, seamless look. Gudrun Clutch is an achievable project for the advanced beginner or intermediate knitter who wants to create a functional accessory with edge and character. Use it as a statement clutch for a night out, or as a unique handmade gift full of personality and style.
With Gudrun Clutch you get both creative joy and a unique handcrafted item that will undoubtedly attract admiration.
