This week’s free crochet pattern is for the

Glamour Clutch

Thanks to our wonderful sponsor, Red Heart Yarns, for providing the yarn for this project: Red Heart Gleam is a beautiful and soft yarn that has gold, silver or copper metallic threads wrapped around it in a non-uniform way, which creates lovely stitch patterns. The yarn is perfect for so many projects and really fun to work with.
