The miniature off-spring of our ever-popular Hold Tight Clutch, the Lil’ Hold Tight Clutch is small but perfectly formed, for days when you just wanna travel light with the bare essentials. Whether you choose to buy one ready-made by our superstar Gangstas, or grab your sticks and knit your own bag from our awesome Jersey Be Good yarn, we guarantee you’ll want one to go with every outfit!
To celebrate the launch our new favourite bag-ette, we’re holding our first Wool and the Gang Knit-Along. Join us on the weekend of 28th February to 1st March and knit your very on Lil’ one!
We’ve put together a series of video tutorials to guide you through the process and will be on hand to answer your questions along the way. We’ll also show you how to pimp up your Lil’ one and add your own personal touches to make your bag truly #madeunique.
The Wool and the Gang team will be joining in the fun – we’ll be posting our progress on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Ravelry throughout the weekend.
Knit along and share your journey – our favourite knit journal will win a Hold Tight Clutch Kit in a colour of your choice. Use the tag #knitwiththegang so we can keep our beady little eyes on you : )
Get ready, hold tight, and CLUTCH!
We’ve been clicking our needles in time to St Vincent by St Vincent in the WATG studio this week #watgvibes. Favourite track: Birth in Reverse – we love that spiky electro sound!

Hi Sophia. You will need to buy the Lil’ Hold Tight Clutch kit as this contains the pattern. You can find it here on the WATG site: http://www.woolandthegang.com/product/lil-hold-tight-clutch-women/knit-your-own. If you do want to buy additional snap clasps, they can be found here: http://www.woolandthegang.com/product/mini-snap-bag-clasps-with-d-rings/knitting-supply.
I ordered my kit but it didn’t come in time for this weekend. So sad I missed the knit along but my kit should be here by Wednesday! I am excited! Ordered Portobello and now I see two new colors I want! I guess I should wait and knit up the first one then order another. I am just sewing up my Florence Sweater too!! Xo
Hey Carole – don’t worry, you can #knitwiththegang until the end of March for a chance to win your own Hold Tight Clutch kit. Just post your progress using the hashtag.
I didn’t realise there was a knit along until I’d finished mine, oops! I’ve made 2, a black one and a red and white. A word of warning to anyone with the red and white stripey jersey be good, it’s so weighty I had to go down to 13 stitches for stocking and 17 for woven to make it narrow enough for the clasp!
Hey Jo – thanks for this tip! The Jersey Be Good can vary in terms of thickness between colours and cones (it’s #madeunique). Hope your Lil’ Clutch came good in the end!
