Sunglass Crochet Case tutorial
You can easily customize the size depending on your sunglasses or turn it into a small summer pouch. This measures approx. 6–7 inches long (adjustable to fit your sunglasses)

Start by creating your foundation chain and joining it to form a ring. You should make this chain to be twice the width you want your Sunglass Crochet Case to measure. I have the exact stitch numbers I used in the free pattern below.
TIP: Make sure you don’t twist your chain while forming a loop. Double check to avoid ripping out your stitches and redoing it (which yours truly had to do!)
Work in a stripe pattern of red and white creating each row with single crochet stitch.
Because we are working in the round, it is easy create the single row stripe pattern without any messy carryover of yarns.
If you are uncomfortable crocheting in the round, you can alternately create two identical rectangle piece and join them together.
Next, it’s time for the blue! I added a fun shell stitch like pattern with Treble Crochet stitches.
I love the treble crochet, makes this part of the project go super fast!

To finish off the project, I added a border row using a crochet hook one size smaller so that the stitches would tighten the edge.
There is no sewing to finish up this project! How cool is that? Simply crochet the bottom edge shut with a slip stitches or scs
The sunglasses fit in the case so snugly and comfortably that I found that any kind of closure was totally unnecessary.
And thats it! This Sunglass Crochet Case is also so colorful and easy to find in my purse or the beach bag. So useful!
