The photos don’t do this beautiful yarn justice. The gradient and subtle changes are so pretty and it reminds me of the deep ocean water. Just beautiful.

Happy crocheting!
I have some yarn that is REALLY similar to this (sold by Herrschners). I made a shawl, but I have some left. I think I’ll do this clutch. Thanks for the pattern!
Yay! That’s perfect!
Does it take up the whole ball of yarn? Is there any left over? Thanks!
It uses almost all of it, but there is a bit left over.
O my gosh, I love this one!!! I also love that you found a pattern for that yarn brand, I’ve had that yarn for two years now with nothing to make it into. Thank you for the beautiful pattern, and congrats on the Woman Choice Award!!!
Thank you very much!!! I am so glad you like the pattern :)
This is so lovely and delicate! Love the colorway too.
Thank you so much!
This is such a sweet little pouch! I was looking around for a small bag to hold my paints and paintbrushes when I travel, and this one is perfect. Bonus, I have a few skeins of this in my stash already! Thank you for sharing this pattern.
Perfect! You are welcome!
Definitely leaning towards this one, that yarn is so beautiful and the shell stitch works with it perfectly <3
Thank you :) The shells do look so lovely with that yarn!
