How to Crochet a Pencil or Hook Case

-



          Hello everyone. It has been awhile since I wrote a blog about my recent projects. The truth is that I am not really good at writing and I get lazy writing the pattern. As I write this blog today, I thought of writing some of the information that I may have missed when I did a tutorial on this video in which I will add the link below.

This is a free pattern I found on Pinterest. This will be worked in rows for the body of this case. First you will need to work a chain of 35. This is the foundation chain. If you are going to adjust the size, say, you want it longer. Keep in mind the repeating stitches you need. Multiples of 4 + 6. 

If you want to work in rounds, the repeat would be in multiples of 4. 

There will be 3 pieces that you will put together. One done in rows and the other two-circles for each side. 

You can use any yarn of your choice. If you have seen most of my tutorials, they do not have a specific brand of yarn to use for the project. This will give you more freedom on working on with your favorite yarns. Actually even if you follow a certain pattern on other sites, you can use a different yarn of your choice, there will only be a slight difference in sizes. 

I find it satisfying in using my preferred yarn for any projects I want to follow.

 For this project you may use any yarn of your choice. You should make a swatch first to check if the hook you are using is perfect for the yarn.  The Chevron stitch is done in rows of single crochets in  back loop only. It's in multiples of 13. Once you have chained 13 many times, then add 2 chains at the end.  Row 1: On the second chain from hook, work 2 SC. 1 SC into each of the next 5 chains. *Skip 2 chains. 1 SC into each of the next 5 chains. 3 SC into the next chain. 1 SC into each of the next 5 chains.* Repeat * until you finish the row. When you reach the last chain, work 2 SC. Row 2: Chain 1 and turn. 2 SC into the first stitch. 1 SC into each of the next 5 stitches. *Skip 2 stitches. 1 SC into each of the next 5 stitches. 3 SC into the next stitch. 1 SC into each of the next 5 stitches. * REPEAT * UNTIL the end of row. When you get to the last stitch, work 2 SC. Row 3: Repeat Row 2 until you get to the height you want.  This stitch is perfect for making blankets, scarves

 It's been a challenging journey for me as a Crocheter of almost 6 years. When I first uploaded a video on how to make the Moroccan Tile Stitch Purse, which happened to be the first design I have made.  I remember Ate Remy who is a good friend and my sister-in-law's aunt. She bought many purses using the design I posted on Facebook. It was a Sunday. It was actually a gloomy Sunday for me. I was broke that time and almost giving up on YouTube. I actually uploaded a few tutorials in which I think did not seem to be great if not good. Most of them (the videos)are done without too much effort or should I say I did not have enough experience in editing or marketing.  So Ate Remy ordered about 100 pieces of these purses and then I thought of why not making a tutorial since I will be making them 100 times in different colors..  I was asked to make some more designs and so I did it. Believe or not, I almost thought I wouldn't be able to finish. This is also working but I am my own
