If you have some of my other patterns and been following along for a while, you’ve probably noticed I’m not big on a pattern being just one thing.  When I started making this as a Sunglass Case, I quickly realized my phone fit perfectly.  Then I realized my hooks fit in it too!  Making it a very handy and versatile little case.  It evolved into something that could be customized in so many ways. Drawstring, flap, one button or two, striped or solid.  And that’s why this is called my Sunglasses Everything Pouch!

Materials:

• Everything Sunglasses Pouch Pattern


• Worsted weight Cotton Yarn in black, beige, yellow, grey and pink. I used I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby


• 2” faux leather patch (optional)


• ¾” – 1” inch buttons (optional)

Pattern:

Follow the instructions for the drawstring option in the pattern, making the following color changes.

Rounds 1-2: Black
Rounds 3-5: Beige
Rounds 6-19: Yellow
Rounds 20-21: Grey
Rounds 22-end: Pink

If adding a patch, do so as directed in the pattern.

This crocheted pouch fits a 2 by 2 inch patch.
Button embellishments on the drawstring add a special touch

Make the drawstring as directed in the pattern. If adding buttons to the tails be sure to leave a longer tail on each end. And I also suggest weaving the drawstring through the loops first.

This pouch appears seamless on both sides!

Adding Buttons to the tails of the drawstring:

  • Start on one end by threading the tail through the holes so that the ends are on the back of the button.

  • Make a double knot ensuring that it is as close to the first chain as possible.

  • take a smaller piece and thread it through the know you just made and douvle knit that as well.

  • Trim all three strands.

  • Repeat the above 4 steps for the other side.

And there you go!
