Simple Crochet Clutch Purse

I've taken a vacation of sorts from crocheting. After doing the crochet animals awhile back, I just needed a break. This purse however has brought me back. It was pretty simple to make and the results are gorgeous!

I originally saw it on Pinterest. It's a Lion Brand free pattern, but honestly, it's so simple. If you can do single crochet and double crochet stitches, you're golden.

But, there was just a little something missing for me. To me, it just felt like the clutch should have a lining. So I added one. I really like the pale blue contrast to the bright sunny yellow.

I love the size of this one too. Sure it would be great to hold your wallet and lipstick, but you could also tuck a few diapers and wipes in it too. A little diaper pack incognito.

I'm so happy with how it turned out that I'm making another one in black. Maybe this one will have a regular button instead of a crochet button? I'm not sure yet. What do you think?
