What crocheter doesn’t need a hook case? Chances are, you have a few of them.
I wanted a small case that I could throw a few hooks, a pair of scissors, a small pack of yarn needles, and a tape measure in. Oh, and it had to be pretty.
That isn’t too much to ask for, is it? I didn’t think so either, so I came up with this simple Cable Crochet Hook Case.
The case is made in a round, with a simple cable on the front. I closed it with a small flap and button. You could easily forego the flap and put in a zipper or other closing mechanism instead, but I liked the ease of a flap and button.
