Frankenstein’s Monster Clutch

September 28, 2023 By

We’re celebrating Halloween all month long with this Frankenstein’s Monster clutch.

Designed to stand on it’s own, this blue eyed green monster bag has a zippered top to hold all your valuables safe inside. It can be used as a purse, pencil case, make-up bag and more. The gusset is narrow at the top by the zipper and wide at the base which allows it to stand. Make with or without a purse strap.

The Frankenstein’s Monster zipper pouch also features a bolt zipper pull. The sides and bottom are reinforced with heavy duty stabilizer so it flexible yet maintains it’s clutch shape.

Measurements: Approximately 9 ½” wide x 5 ½” tall x 2 ½” deep at base

More About The Frankenstein’s Monster Clutch

We call it Frankenstein’s Monster because of the scar on the forehead and bolt on the zipper pull. But we’ve also had people call it the Incredible Hulk or a Zombie. We can go with that, too.

The Frankenstein’s Monster Purse Crochet Pattern includes:

  • Written Instructions
  • 10 Pages
  • 10 Photos

The bag is made with 2 eyeball granny squares on the front panel and 2 plain granny squares on the back. A gusset is crocheted separately and joined to the front and back panels. The hair is crocheted at the end with regular crochet and spike stitches. Stabilizer, zipper, lining and optional handle give it a nice crisp look and make it super practical.

Behind the Scenes: Granny Heart Clutch

April 3, 2015 By

Would you rather keep your hooks and supplies in a plastic sandwich baggie, or in a crocheted granny heart clutch?

For the longest time I used a zippered plastic bag. It was actually quite convenient. It could be rolled up and put in my crochet bag or sit beside me as I worked. But I had to use the gallon size bag and it seemed slightly bulky.

A Owl Bean Bag Deb Blanket

After making a few heart granny squares for the Granny’s Tree of Love afghan for the Owl Set (pictured above), I decided to try to make a little clutch. I decided to make a bright and colorful one first. Lion Brand’s Vanna’s Choice has many lovely colors and made a delightful clutch. I lined it so I could keep my hooks and supplies in it.

This clutch appeared in Love of Crochet magazine. The editor suggest monochromatic colors and this grey and black version was created (pictured below in Knit Picks Shine).

Perfect purse for crochet hooks

I put a couple of magnetic clasps on it to keep my items safe inside. It has quickly become one of my favorite projects. It is beautiful and practical.
