FO Friday: Diagonal Bobbles Clutch
In the Northeast, we’ve been hit by a heatwave, and it has definitely reduced my desire to crochet. There’s something about having hot yarn stuck on your sweat that just doesn’t make it fun. So it seemed the perfect time to finish this beautiful bobble clutch that I was working in collaboration with Galler Yarns.
I made this using two strands of Parisian Cotton held together. The mercerized cotton has a nice feeling on the hands, especially in this weather! I had a hard time choosing the right button, but I’m happy with my selection.
I also had a lot of fun playing around with texture.
Besides the bobbles, I also crocheted in the back loop only on alternate rows.
And I like how the seams came out, too.
If you want to make one yourself, the pattern is available as a free Ravelry download.

Super cute!
Thanks, CrochetBlogger!
I totally agree- wool and heat are not a good mix! The most I’ve done in this heat is read a book. I love how the cotton in your clutch really makes the pattern pop!
Thanks, Mary! I agree, the mercerized cotton makes the bobbles stiffer, I think.
Looks cute!
Thanks, Michelle!
It looks really cool. It has been so hot here too.. Its insane.
Welcome, Random Knits, and thanks!
It’s lovely!
Sadly here in SE England there has just been rain, rain and more rain. There are flood warnings this weekend

Sorry to hear that, Sarah. I hope the floods are not too severe.
Lovely little purse. I’ve hardly been doing any crochet or knitting as it is so hot here too.
Thanks, Crafty Gardener. Hopefully, we will be inspired to do some more crafting soon!
Pretty purse … love that colour.
Thanks, Dorothy. The colorway is Vert.
Your clutch is terrific. It’s quite classy isn’t it?! I love the movement that the diagonal stitches create along with the texture of the bobbles. I’m adding it to my queue right now! Stay cool!
Thanks so much, Robin. It reminded me a bit of waves.
I wouldn’t mind not being able to crochet due to a heat wave. It’s rainy. Again!
Sorry to hear about the rain, Regula!
So cute! I love the great textures of the pattern.
Thanks, autumngeisha!
