Fan Clutch and Fun Fur Collar Knitting Pattern Download

Description

Need something snazzy for a special night on the town? Carry your glamor kit in Lisa Daehlins classy clutch. The back and front are worked in short row stripes that give the bag its vintage fan shape. The gusset strip wraps around all three sides of the purse and forms pretty scallops along the bottom. A large snap on the inside holds the bag closed, so choose a favorite button to decorate the outside. After finishing, an optional (but suggested) fabric lining can be sewn in. To keep your shoulders warm, and add color and contemporary style to that little black dress, wear Katy Ryans brief Fun Fur capelet. It’s worked with a triple strand of yarn only 19 rows from start to finish.
