Star Stitch Clutch Bag

 This is a simple dinner bag with star stitch. I used nylon yarn and a 4 mm hook. I also sew a plastic canvas and cloth linen inside the bag. It is very easy once you get the hang of it. I have a short tutorial video on star stitch that you can refer to if you are not sure how it is done. With the rough guide, you can create a simple clutch bag. The tutorial video :  The number of chain is in a multiple of 2 plus 4. This particular bag, I crochet the length instead of the normally, width and work upwards.

Do 4 more in the next 4 stitch until you have 6 loop on you hook. Yarn over and pull thru all 6 and do a single crochet.  After the single crochet, you
