Derby Day Clutch - Instant Download PDF

$3.00

Every spring, Churchill Downs hosts racing’s most famous event, the Kentucky Derby. For some, the race is secondary to to the chic competition in the grandstands as Louisville’s ladies attempt to outdo each other with outlandish hats and the latest fashions. The winner of the Kentucky Derby gets in on the fashion parade in the stands by sporting his or her own spectacular accessory— a gorgeous signature circlet of fresh red roses. But why should the horse have all the fun? This felted and beaded clutch has its own circlet of roses surrounding your wrist like a floral bracelet. Pattern includes my recipe for a frosty and refreshing Mint Julep.

This pattern is also available in the instant download ebook, Deep South Knitting.
