Paloma Clutch (EN)

Paloma Clutch is an elegant, hand-knitted bag with refined structure and an exclusive look — perfect as both an everyday and evening accessory. The clutch is knitted in the soft and durable wool yarn Drops Karisma, made from 100% pure wool with a yardage of 100 m per 50 g. It is available in Small (Medium) Large, measuring 12 (14) 16 cm in length, 6 (8) 10 cm in height, and 3 (4) 5 cm in depth. Yarn usage is 50 (50) 75 g, corresponding to 100 (100) 150 m.

The clutch begins with a stable double-knit base, ensuring it holds its shape. Stitches are then picked up around the edge and the walls are knitted in the round in double seed stitch to create a beautiful textured fabric. The entire piece is worked on 3.5 mm needles — using circular or double-pointed needles depending on size and technique.

Gauge is 21 sts × 28 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette stitch, and it is important to maintain this for correct sizing and finish. The closure uses a button, and the clutch is finished with an elegant i-cord edge and a wrist strap with buttonhole — both functional and decorative.

Paloma Clutch is a manageable project that yields a stylish result. It suits confident beginners or intermediate knitters who want to explore structural techniques such as double knitting and seed stitch, and it also makes a perfect stash-busting project thanks to its low yardage.

This project is not only a useful accessory but also an opportunity to learn new techniques while creating something personal and durable. With the durability and colour range of Drops Karisma, the clutch can be tailored to any style.
