Easy Knit Glasses Case

Claire Bush

Here's an easy-to-create craft that can be made in an evening. The cases are fun and inexpensive to make for gifts, too. I keep one in my car for my sunglasses.

Materials

  • 1 skein 4 ply cotton yarn (I use peaches and cream brand from WalMart), any color
  • Size 7 knitting needles
  • Fabric scraps/ribbon/lace/trim
  • Advertisement

  • Glue gun

Instructions

Cast on 30-35 stitches, enough to make about 8" square. Knit until you have about the size of a potholder, then bind off. Lay knitting flat on work table and trim a piece of contrasting fabric to fit, then carefully glue fabric on top of knitting. Trim with narrow ribbon to hide fabric edges. Fold knitting down about halfway and hand stitch sides closed to form case, using glasses to measure for good fit. Finish with decorative button or other embellishment on front, if desired.

For the glasses case in the picture, I used an empty picture frame pin and cut a picture of a flower to fit inside to match the design of the case.
