Introduction

Welcome to my crochet tutorial! In this video, I will guide you through the process of making a crochet case. This versatile case can be used to hold pencils, pens, or any other small items you desire. I will be using 100% cotton yarn and a 4mm hook for this project. Let's dive right in!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, make sure you have the following materials:

• 100% cotton yarn in the color of your choice
• 4mm crochet hook
• Zipper
• Scissors
• Tape measure

Crochet Case Pattern

Step 1: Making the Side of the Case

To start, we'll create the side of the case using a magic ring and half double crochet stitches. Follow these steps:

1. Create a magic ring and chain 2.
2. Work 9 half double crochet stitches into the ring.
3. Join the round by slip stitching into the chain 2.
4. Chain 2 and work a half double crochet into the same stitch.
5. Continue working a half double crochet in each stitch around.
6. Join the round with a slip stitch to the chain 2.

Step 2: Making the Body of the Case

Now, let's move on to making the body of the case. Here's what you need to do:

1. Chain the desired length for the body of the case.
2. Work single crochet stitches into each chain, starting from the second chain.
3. Continue working single crochet stitches in each stitch across.
4. Repeat the previous round until you have the desired height for the case.

Step 3: Joining the Sides

To assemble the case, you'll need to join the sides. Follow these steps:

1. Align the two sides of the case, with the wrong sides facing out.
2. Join the sides using slip stitches. Start from one corner and work your way across.
3. Secure the stitches at the end and fasten off.

Adding a Zipper

To finish off your crochet case, you'll need to add a zipper. Here's how:

1. Place the zipper along the opening of the case to determine the desired length.
2. Cut the excess length of the zipper.
3. Sew the zipper onto the case using a needle and thread that matches the color of the yarn.
4. Make sure the zipper is securely attached and easily opens and closes.

Conclusion
