Diagonal Bobbles Clutch Crochet Pattern

I’m sharing the Diagonal Bobbles Clutch crochet pattern today. I love textured stitches like bobbles, popcorns, and bullions, and I enjoy designing with diagonal stitch patterns. The combination of bobbles, diagonals, and the mercerized cotton make this a striking clutch!

Yarn for the sample was generously provided by Galler Yarns.

This pattern was originally published on the Galler Yarns blog, but as it’s no longer available there, I decided to share it here. I’ve updated it to include videos for the special stitches and joins. Enjoy!
