This Crochet Eye glasses Holder Uses Cotton Yarn
For this crocheted case I used Lily’s Sugar and Cream because it is a long-lasting cotton yarn, will wash up perfect and won’t scratch your glasses!
Since this glasses case will most likely be with you most of the time and being used, it is a good idea to have yarn that is easy to clean. Take a peek at a few of my favorite colors of Sugar and Cream yarn below.
The Stitches in this Case
Crocheting this case is pretty simple since it uses a basic crochet stitch. This easy pattern is made up entirely of half double crochet stitches, single crochets and slip stitches which creates a quick design. These stitches make it a great pattern for beginner crocheters who are just learning how to crochet. Learn more about the half double crochet stitch, single crochet stitch and slip stitch below.
- Yo (yarn over) insert hook from front to back of the designated stitch, yo the hook and pick up a loop.
- Yo the hook and pull back through all three loops on the hook.
- Insert hook into designated stitch
- YO (yarn over) and pull back through the st and through the loop on the hook.
- Insert hook from front to back in the second chain from the hook or designated stitch
- Bring the yarn over (Yo) the hook and pull the yarn back through the chain (or stitch) from back to front (2 loops on hook).
- Yo and pull through both loops on the hook.
You will also have to know to half double crochet increase, which in this case is working two half double crochets into one stitch.
