Repeating Rows: Chain three and turn around. Repeat the star stitch rows until the piece reaches your desired size (suggested 11 star stitch rows).

• Completing Rows: After the last half double crochet row, make a slip stitch and chain one.

Border and Edging

Single Crochet Around the Clutch Back:

• Make single crochet stitches all around the back.
• Decrease tension on short sides to prevent stretching.
• Add extra stitches occasionally as needed.

Finishing Touches

• Optional Chain Decoration: Sew on a chain if desired.

Construction:

1. 1. Fold the clutch and flatten.
   2. Adjust back size if needed.
   3. Sew the sides using the darning needle, ensuring loops are properly aligned.

Making the Tassel

1. Wrap thread around a small object multiple times.
2. Secure the top loop, remove the object, and then wrap tightly around the base of the tassel.
3. Cut open the thread ends at the bottom.
4. Optionally, add a piece of chain for decoration.

Final Assembly

• Attaching the Tassel: Secure the tassel to the clutch for the final decorative touch.
