I am so excited to share another crochet project that is easy to make and beginner friendly today.
A crochet clutch that I added studs to make it look more fashionable and chic.
Here it is..taadaaa :D
What do you think? Cute isn't it.
I guess you don't even need a pattern for this because it's so easy to make but I want to keep the pattern here in my blog so I can refer to it later for my own reference.
~Anyway if
you don’t understand any part of this pattern, please refer to the video tutorial on my YouTube channel~ Crochet Studded Clutch
Chain stitch (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc).
Abbreviation:
Stitches
(sts), stitch (st), space (sp), next (nxt).
Instructions
Foundation
chain:
Make a slip knot and ch 31.
Row
1:
Sc
in 2nd chain from hook and across,ch
1, turn.
Row
2 - 82:
Sc in each sts across, ch 1, turn. Total 82 rows.
Side seam:
Fold
and join side seams together with single crochet.
Refer
to video tutorial how to join side seams without breaking off yarn and where to
sew the hook and loop tape.
Cut
hook and loop tape = 6.5 inch.
Leave 0.5 inch space on both side for side seam.
You
can sew the hook and loop tape inside before or after you join side seam, or use zipper whichever you prefer.
Edging:
Continue
to single crochet around the flap cover, sl st in nxt st, ch 1.
Fasten off.
Add
studs on flap cover with any design you like. You can also add metal chain strap and
turn this clutch into a sling bag.
And you’re done.
Enjoy and happy crocheting :)
Wohooo finally!! I made a partner for the Coxa Bikini Top. Actually I made the pattern last year but I hesitated whether I should share the pattern or not because I was so frustrated with the edging. It doesn't look good and I kept changing the pattern. So I left the project for a while and continue to make another project 😅.
Then I resumed to make this bottom, filmed the tutorial, started to edit the video and guess what happened? I lost some of the clips, I don't even remember whether I accidentally deleted or I did not filmed it at all. So I abandoned this project again because, one I can't get the edging right, two I don't have that one short but crucial part of the video, and three I still don't like the edging.
Days gone by and I saw this bottom lying lifeless, cannot come to life with his partner and my heart just can't take it anymore😳 So I picked him up, redo the missing part of the video, rewrite the pattern and now I am so happy at last he can be with his partner Coxa Bikini Top!...okay forgive me for talking nonsense I'm just happy for him haha.. So for those who have been asking where he is? He is here!!!!
Anyway I hope you get the idea how to make a bikini bottom from the tutorial and if you don't like the edging just like me, try to create your own pattern but if you like it thank you so much.
😊Together let's make a better crochet bikini bottom😂
And I made a table for the sizes so it will be easier for you to refer instead of including all the sizes in the written pattern. What do you think?

Hello fellow unravelers, 😊 I am so so sorry for being absent from this virtual world for quite some time, well I just got carried away with something else.
Anyway, I have loads of new crochet designs that I wanted to share with you guys but haven't got the time to write down the pattern properly and film the tutorial, but this year I will try my best to post more crochet tutorials consistently.
It's been a great year, and I am so glad that I've decided to share my passion with the world because now I can see that all my effort won't be kept away just like that and anyone who have the same passion can keep making this beautiful art.
If you want to sell items made from my patterns, feel free to do so. You don't have to give me credit, it's not necessary. You can do whatever you want, rename your own product , adjust the pattern to your liking or make it unique by adding value like beads or embellishment to you product.
I spent a lot of time to design, write the pattern, count the number of stitches, film the tutorial and share it for free, so the only thing I will not be so happy with is if my pattern being copied 100%, edited to make it look as their own and redistribute/sell it in PDF form or hard copy without my consent. Please at least modify and make it unique, there will be more variety if you create something different from the original isn't it? I am so happy if you feel inspired to recreate a pattern from my design but don't just copy and paste the written pattern.
I believe most of my followers are far more advanced crocheter than me, so it's totally okay for me if you want to adjust my pattern and make it better. See, I am not selling finished products made from my patterns at the moment, I'm just designing patterns and share it. So I am really glad if any crocheter out there decided to sell products made from my patterns.
You can always give me credit by sharing my blogs, my YouTube tutorials, or if you want me to see your creation just link to any of my social media accounts. Selling items made from my design is a way to share too so people who don't crochet can appreciate our crochet creation :)
My goal is to share the ideas how I made the design, and I really appreciate if you could credit me as the original designer when you recreate my pattern but don't feel oblige to follow my pattern completely and give me credit directly. Hopefully we can grow and appreciate this art for bringing us together.
Thank you 2017
It has been a great year
Welcome 2018

Fashion is a very dynamic and
ever-changing trend. However, is spite of all the dynamism, there are always
certain trends and pieces that manage to continue to stay in vogue, largely due
to their ability to be multifaceted and versatile (if you have any doubts, just
look at the performance of Adidas UAE
alone). The purpose of this piece is to bring you to a better appreciation of
one of these trends; crochet clothing.
Crochet dresses are incredibly beautiful
and they have the ability to highlight your best features. They are every
woman’s dream and with so many styles and combination possibilities, it’s no wonder they continue to set trends in every fashion season. A
few of the best and most widely used ensembles that include crochet dresses
are; *CLICK ON TITLE/IMAGE FOR THE PATTERN*
Give your entire ensemble a stylish
boost with the beautiful art of crocheting. With the lovely and highly fashionable
crochet peplum vest, you have a nice addition to be worn over your shirt and
top. It’s really beautiful and has the ability to keep you looking all glammed
up. The cute and cozy crochet peplum vet is
another way to stay snuggled in the cold weather and still keep the allure and
enchantment f our personality.
Basically every woman will confess to
loving crochet wraps and having a wide array of crochet scarves, wraps and neck
warmers in their closet. Now, you have the ability to add another stylish and
chic Boho style to your wardrobe. The Boho crochet wrap is simple, elegant and
really beautiful. It exemplifies grace and allure and it can be worn over just
about anything and can definitely ha you turning heads wherever you go.
Every woman desires to have a type of
shrug, jacket or any other outer clothing that can be worn over any dress
without necessarily facing the issue of style and shape. This is why the
crochet canyon shrug is perfect. It is a really stylish clothing piece that can
go on any type of dress and look beautiful on it.
Shirts made with the crochet style are
the best clothing ensembles to fill your wardrobe during the summer or spring,
especially when you feel a slight nip in the air. They present the perfect
opportunity for you to keep cozy and comfortable while also looking stunning
and absolutely beautiful.
Hey girls enhance your style statement
but no with the branded and expensive clothes but with this handmade crocheted
Key West circle top which is super fashionable and totally a model wear in its
design and pattern. It’s way too simple and really easy for you to pull off by
yourself.
Crochet dresses and clothing are really
beautiful. The fact that they also help with weather maneuvering is another
explicit bonus. They are available anywhere and can be purchased through
various means, including through online shopping UAE.

Whether you have been crocheting
for years or you have recently become interested in this popular craft, there
is always room for improvement. Instead of making mistakes on your own, you
should try using these four ways to hone your crochet design and skills. They
will save you time and money.
1.
Watch Online Videos
YouTube is a great resource for
people who want to develop or hone their crochet design. This is especially
good for visual students who want someone to talk to them at each stage of a
project or technique.
Perhaps the best thing about
YouTube crochet tutorial is that they are free. You do not have to spend money
or make any payment. Just browse the videos you are interested in and follow
the channels that you find useful. There is a lot of variety of videos on
YouTube, so spend some time exploring these and other channels. For every one
that doesn’t appeal you, there are dozens of others that you may like.
2.
Download Apps for Your Smartphone
There seems to be an app for
everything, including ways to hone your crochet design. There are quite a few
of them. Most of these apps can be
downloaded for free, but some have in-app purchases that cost a few bucks. In
the long run, it's worth it for people who don’t mind spending a small amount
of money on a convenient way to learn crochet design wherever they are.
3.
Find a Crochet Design Class near You
If you are the type of person who
prefers one-on-one teaching, then you should look for a crochet class in your
city. Suppose you have a craft store near you, there are definitely some
classes that can help you learn new designs for you clothing. Many classes don’t cost anything to participate because theNike
shoesstores host them to encourage
enthusiasts in the area to shop there.
In addition to getting crochet
tutorial, these classes can introduce you to other people who are interested in
crafts. It's often a big step toward making crochet a more important part of
your life. When you surround yourself with people who have similar interests,
it's a lot easier to devote more time to your hobbies. Also, these people make
great resources that can help you discover other crafty ideas.
4. Learn Crochet Language From Books
When you have the basic of crochet but want to challenge yourself to make more complicated patterns, you should learn the language of crochet so you can read patterns and charts without having to refer to a video or picture.
You can find loads of information online on how to read patterns and understand the meaning of abbreviations in crochet. If you want to upgrade your skills, you should really consider buying yourself a crochet book for beginner. Believe me it will help you tremendously, in understanding how to write patterns correctly. After all that hard work on learning how to crochet you should treat yourself by buying a good crochet book.
5.
Join Crochet Groups on Facebook
Depending on where you live, you
may not have easy access to a crochet design class. If so, you should consider
joining a crochet group on Facebook. It's not the same as attending a class, but
it's very close. Believe it or not, there are thousands of Facebook groups
mainly for crochet design. This means you will need to narrow your options to
choose one that fits your needs.
Some of the groups are private,
so you can join them without worrying about your privacy. You can’t know what
members are posting unless you join the group.
For public groups, go through
recent posts to see which ones feel good to you. There is so much diversity out
there that you don’t have to compromise. If one group doesn’t work, you can
always find another one that matches your skills and personality better.
There is always something new to
learn about crocheting. With these resources, you can keep improving your
designs and expand your horizons. Now step up your game and use the information to design your own patterns.
