Yarn: Wendy Mohair – I think it is  discounted as I brought the yarn from eBay.
Pattern: Adaption of Spunmag’s Cleo Clutch.
Needles: 5mm and a cable needle.
Notes: On 94 stitches to create a wider bag. I doubled the Cable Pattern from the original pattern – omitting the final six stitches and creating a double cable in the centre. I repeated the pattern 8 times to form the front.

I then increased 10 stitches on each end to form the sides (and eventually the strap), the back is reserve stocking stitch for 116 rows (for the base and back). Placing, 10 stitches from each end on a scrap of yarn, I then worked the Cable Pattern 5 more times for the flap. The strap is created using the 10 stitches and working them until the desired length.

Cleo Clutch

Yarn: Wendy Mohair.
Pattern: Spunmag’s Cleo Clutch.
Needles: 5mm and a cable needle.
Notes: This is a really good project to practice cables – I have only done basic cables a few times before, and this project asked for more techniques. I found I needed to follow the pattern for every row.
