Free Knitting Project: How to Knit a
Striped Eyeglass Case / Easy to Knit Craft
This case is easy to
make and comes in handy, especially if you only wear your glasses
sometimes and need a safe place to keep them. You can also use it for your
favorite pair of sunglasses. If you would like to use a different yarn
than the worsted weight in this pattern, that’s no problem. As long as you
pay attention to the lengths, you’ll be fine. If you’re using a thicker
yarn, cast on fewer stitches. You may have to try a few times, but
remember, your project always gets longer than the initial cast on row. |

Materials:
1 pair size 7 needles
1 skein sport weight
yarn (color 1)
1 skein sport weight
yarn (color 2) (optional for stripes)
1 yarn needle
Cast
on 35 stitches.
Work in Stockinette
stitch.
Row 1: Knit entire row
Row 2: Purl entire row
Repeat until length
measures approx 7 inches.
*A note on changing
colors: If you are using more than one color, make stripes at least 2 row
each. When changing colors, simply feed the yarn from the new color into
first stitch of new row. Be sure to keep yarn pulled firmly, especially
yarn from the color you’ve just finished using. This easier than you might
imagine, but keeping the stitches pulled firmly but not too tightly is the
secret. |

It should be rectangle
shaped, about 6”x7”.
Bind off. |
|
 |
Cut length of yarn (in
either color, your choice) measuring about 20”. Thread yarn with yarn
needle. Fold rectangle in half with the outer side
(pretty side) folded inward. Sew one of the short sides. |
|
|
Sew long side. Leave
the third side open to slip the glasses inside. After last stitch, knot
yarn securely. |
|
|
Turn case right side
out, trim any excess yarn strands.
Enjoy your new knit eyeglass holder! |
