Create Your Own Knitted Needle Case with the "Crown" Pattern

Materials Needed

You'll need:

• 100% acryl yarn of 2 colors (50g and 30g);
• Knitting needles (size 2);
• 3 buttons;
• Plastic file;
• Thread;
• Needle;
• Scissors.

Size Specifications

• Length of case: 29 cm;
• Width of case: 19 cm.

Instructions

Cast on 60 sts and make 2 rows with stockinette stitch. Attach another color of yarn in the next row and start making the fancy "Crown" pattern.

Cast on 10 sts with another color of yarn and make a "cable": 8 rows with stockinette stitch, 9th row: 4 x 4 crossing, knit as usual, slip the 1st st, the last st as purl. Then, the 10th row - all purl sts. Then, repeat the ornament. The length of "cable" is the same as the width of your case (19 cm). Make 2 same "cables".

Sew both sides of your case. Sew "cables" in parallel in the place where you wind the sts. Don't sew the rest parts, they'll be plackets for inserting needles. Cut the inner carcass from the plastic file. Insert it and sew the last side. Then, fix the carcass to the case, i.e., sew all the layers of the case (right-side, plastic, and inner part) together, in angles and middle. Hide the knots inside your case.

Sew buttons in the places of lapping both sides of the case. Make button-holes on the opposite side.
