Weave in all the ends and block the squares and half squares. With the WS facing, use the diagram as a guide, join the squares together with yarn B and a yarn needle, sewing in the back loop of each st in each square. With the RS facing, pull the half squares (A) up to half way of the second from the top square (B). Fold far left and right squares (C) to the spaces below the half squares (D) and sew them attached, weave in the ends. Turn the clutch bag inside out to have the RS showing.
To neaten the edge of the clutch, attach yarn C to a TR on the basic granny square, CH 1, DC x 1 (in each st) along the basic granny square, DC x 2 (in each st) along the half squares. Weave in ends.
Optional, add a rust proof Hemline Snap Fasterner 18mm (also called a snap popper and press stud) to the inside of the clutch to secure shut when needed.
