📌 Before You Begin

💡

Case is worked flat in rows, then folded and seamed

💡

Chain 1 at beginning of rows does not count as a stitch

💡

Work with a slightly tighter tension to create a firm, protective fabric

💡

Finished measurements accommodate standard adult eyeglasses

🧶 Pattern Instructions

💡 Tip: The foundation chain should measure approximately 3.5 inches wide

Row 1

Ch 17. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (16 sts)

Row counter:

💡 Tip: Your piece should measure approximately 14 inches long after Row 35. You will fold this into a 7-inch case: fold bottom edge up 4.5 inches for the pocket, and fold the remaining 4.5 inches down as the flap (with 2.5 inches of flap extending past the pocket when folded)

Row 2

Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st across. (16 sts)
Rows 3-35

Repeat Row 2. (16 sts)

Row counter:

💡 Tip: The edging creates a polished finish but can be skipped for a simpler look

Round 1

Do not fasten off. Ch 1, do not turn. Work sc evenly around entire perimeter of rectangle, working approximately 1 sc in each row-end stitch along the long sides (approximately 35 sc along each long side), 16 sc along the top and bottom edges, and working 3 sc in each corner. Join with st">sl st to first sc.

Row counter:

💡 Tip: Try on your eyeglasses before final seaming to ensure proper fit

Step 1

Fasten off, leaving a 24-inch tail for seaming. Lay piece flat with right side facing up. Fold bottom edge up 4.5 inches to create the pocket.
Step 2

Thread yarn needle with tail. Slip stitch along both side edges to create the case pocket, working through both layers.
Step 3

The remaining flap (approximately 4.5 inches) will fold over the top opening.
Step 4 (Optional)

If adding button: sew button to center front of case body, 1 inch down from top fold. With yarn and crochet hook, ch 8 and join with st">sl st to create a button loop. Attach loop to center of flap by sewing securely with needle and yarn.

Row counter:

✂️ Finishing

Weave in all remaining ends securely using yarn needle. If not adding a button closure, the flap will tuck into the case naturally. For a snugger fit, work the body rows with tighter tension. Block gently by lightly steaming or dampening with water and laying flat to dry, which will help even out stitches and create a professional finish.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Dk). You'll need about approximately 50 yards, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.

Yes! This is one of the friendlier patterns to start with. You only need to know: ch, sc, sl st, st(s). Work slowly, count your stitches at the end of each row, and don't be afraid to frog (rip back) and redo a section — that's how everyone learns. Budget about 2-3 hours; beginners often take a bit longer, and that's totally fine.

Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.

For this pattern, gauge is "18 sc x 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this may cause felting or distortion. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.

Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
