Tip: Lay glasses down first to pick the placement of the eyes.

Tips for finishing and use: Gently stuff the holder so it keeps shape but still allows glasses to rest without stretching the yarn. If you prefer a firmer cradle, use slightly tighter stuffing or an additional inner lining. Test eye placement with your glasses to ensure they sit comfortably and won’t slip.
