Clutch: Crochet Bag Panel Generator

Fold one integral front-back-flap fabric

This clutch uses one twenty-four-stitch-wide, thirty-row SC fabric and two separate tie cords. Twelve rows form the front, twelve the back and six the free flap. The main fabric contains 720 sc. Each twenty-chain cord returns with nineteen slip stitches, adding thirty-eight. The original setup therefore has 758 main outputs across three pieces and needs no separate bottom panel.

Locate the bottom fold before either side seam

Work the long fabric from its twenty-five-chain foundation, preserving all twenty-four sc per row. Mark the boundary between rows twelve and thirteen. Front rows one through twelve run from mouth toward bottom; back rows thirteen through twenty-four return from bottom toward mouth after folding. Rows twenty-five through thirty continue as the flap. The fold replaces a bottom seam, but it does not eliminate the two side seams.

Pair front and back row ends without trapping the flap

On the left side, pair front row ends one through twelve with back row ends twenty-four through thirteen respectively. Repeat on the right side. Each side has twelve sewing pairs. Stop at the body mouth and keep all six flap rows outside those seams. Pin outside faces consistently and inspect that an actual pocket remains before reinforcing.

Place the tie at the real flap overlap

Attach one cord's first two return outputs at flap row thirty, middle positions twelve and thirteen. Attach the other at front row six, those same middle posts. Fold the flap over the mouth and tie the free ends. Check the actual overlap and cord length before reinforcing four attachment tacks; stitch counts alone do not guarantee a snug closure.

Which edge is the mouth?

The front foundation edge meets the top of the back body after folding, under the free flap.

Why not sew all thirty row ends?

That would trap the flap and close the intended entry. Only the paired twelve-row front/back sides are seamed.

Exact settings, stitch key and full original route

Open the Crochet Bag Panel Generator and choose clutch. Use width twenty-four, body rows twelve, gusset width five, strap rows thirty, flap rows six, base growth four, wall rounds twelve, motif frame setting two and bag cord foundation seventy-two. Enter measured SC gauges twenty stitches and twenty-four rows per ten centimeters. Inactive settings do not resize a fixed source. Download the complete original bag project JSON before making changes.

Use compatible yarn, a matching hook, removable part and corner markers, scissors and a tapestry needle. US sc means single crochet, dc double crochet, ch chain and sl st slip stitch; UK mode translates the stitch names without changing the source geometry or quantities. Follow the complete cluster and back-loop definitions where used. Component row counts describe one copy. Main crochet outputs, extra chains, sewing pairs, basting and threading references have different units. Review the gauge guide and chart-reading guide before comparing measurements and receiving edges.

The original SVG below shows the actual generated component charts and a linked assembly register. Written references supply the complete seam route. Stitch Preview draws corresponding loop schematics; neither view is a real photograph or proof of a physically tested bag. Wash and measure the actual fabrics, pin every seam, preserve the named opening and reinforce the stated attachments. Record real dimensions, yarn behavior and finishing alongside the saved JSON before deciding how the finished sample will be used.
