If you&#8217;re fairly new to crochet but feel ready for a moderate challenge, this project is for you! Learn to make the Row43 clutch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With techniques like the<strong> extended half double crochet, creating a buttonhole and a basic crochet handle<\/strong>, this tutorial introduces you to new skills \u2014 always <strong>explained clearly and in detail on video<\/strong>.. <br><br>So even if you&#8217;re taking your first steps into slightly more advanced projects, you won&#8217;t feel overwhelmed \u2014 I&#8217;m with you every step of the way, thanks to the video I&#8217;ve prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve also tried to make this easier by <strong>avoiding a zip<\/strong> for the closure \u2014 it&#8217;s not the easiest thing to attach, so <strong>I opted for a button and, on the last round, slightly closing the opening using the crochet stitches themselves<\/strong>. I think it&#8217;s a more practical and beginner-friendly solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" class=\"gb-media-6b36dc7f\" alt=\"Row43 crochet clutch bag in beige cotton cord\" title=\"Row43_3\" src=\"https:\/\/showroomcrochet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Row43_3.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/showroomcrochet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Row43_3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/showroomcrochet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Row43_3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/showroomcrochet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Row43_3-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/showroomcrochet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Row43_3-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/showroomcrochet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Row43_3-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/showroomcrochet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Row43_3-512x512.jpg 512w, https:\/\/showroomcrochet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Row43_3-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/showroomcrochet.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/Row43_3-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A picture is worth a thousand words \u2014 and a video even more so.
