Moonbow Clutch




This clutch was originally designed for the Happily Hooked Magazine's March 2023 issue. But unfortunately they decided that the February would be their last issue of HHM. So I decided to publish this pattern for free on my blog. You can also purchase the printable, tech edited pdf on my Ravelry store.

This clutch is a perfect stash busting pattern, especially if you have small balls of the leftover yarn. Or hook this clutch up in a single-color yarn with lurex/metallic thread to match your glam outfit. The clutch can be used without lining too, as the stitches are tight and the fabric is sturdy. It can also be made as a quick gift for your loved ones.




Yarn

You will need total 240 yards of the yarn (each colour approx 40 yards) plus small amount of white yarn for the edging.

Wanderlust ribbed beanie

It's a beginner friendly pattern that involves no increases or decreases. Beanie is worked flat in a rectangle, the the sides are sewn together and the top is closed. I have used Nako sports wool bulky yarn which is perfect for winter. It is 25% wool and 75% acrylic yarn, which provides sufficient warmth. In addition to that, wool provides strech and elasticity to the beanie. I would totally recommend wool-acrylic blend or 100% wool yarn for this project, but you can also use acrylic yarn. (Only adult sizes are available for free here on my blog. Paid pdf is available on Ravelry which includes all the sizes from preemie to adult large.) Check out the beanies made by my amazing testers. This cute little boy is a perfect model for this beanie.
