Crochet Mini Clutch Purse - Free Pattern | www.thestitchinmommy.com

UPDATED 8/6/2015: I’ve had this pattern on my blog for 2 years and I looked back at it and realized that it was time for an update. It’s such a cute little clutch but the pattern was not so stellar. I have learned a lot in the past few years about writing patterns (and about photography) so I have decided to revive this pattern! I hope that you like it. Happy Crocheting!
