Crochet clutch with an internal divider//bag crochet bag
Creating a crochet clutch with an internal divider or portfolio is a great project that combines both functionality and style. Below is a basic pattern to get you started. Feel free to customize it to your liking with different stitches, colors, and embellishments.
Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn in your choice of colors
- Crochet hook suitable for your yarn (usually recommended hook size for your chosen yarn)
- Yarn needle

Instructions:
Base:
- Start with a foundation chain in multiples of 6 until you reach your desired width for the clutch.
- Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn.
- Chain 1, single crochet in each stitch across. Repeat this row until you reach the desired length for the clutch.
Internal Divider:
- Decide where you want the internal divider/portfolio to be and fold the base in half.
- Join the yarn at the fold, and single crochet across the folded side for the desired length of the divider.
- Chain 1, turn, and single crochet across. Repeat until the divider is the desired height.
Body:
- Continue working on the remaining open side of the base.
- Chain 1, turn, and single crochet in each stitch across for the same length as the first half.
Assembly:
- Fold the base in half with the internal divider in the center.
- With the right sides facing each other, single crochet the sides together, leaving the top open.
- If you want to add a closure, attach a magnetic snap or sew on a button.
Finishing Touches:
- Add any desired embellishments, such as surface crochet, appliqué, or embroidery.
- Weave in all loose ends.
Feel free to experiment with different stitch patterns, color changes, and yarn textures to make the clutch unique to your style. This basic pattern provides a foundation for you to get creative and design a crochet clutch with an internal divider that suits your preferences.
