roll-up crochet hook case

I keep losing my crochet hooks… I’ve ended up with 3 duplicate hooks because I can never find the right size hook when I need it. I realised I needed a roll-up case where I could store all my hooks, arranged by size, and then I’d always be able to find the right hook.

I spent ages planning before I started cutting the fabric, and the whole thing came together very quickly (except the knotted strap, but I couldn’t find a ribbon to match the trim, so I thought I’d make my own… and it escalated from there).

I’ve written up a tutorial for how I made this. 

Here’s the finished crochet hook case (as always, click the images for larger versions):


The case unrolled. The top flaps over the hooks so they don’t fall out when the case is rolled up


Top flap opened

Each crochet hook has its own pocket, so they all stay in order


Rolled up


I used a ‘bra strap’-type fastener so the strap loop can be adjusted. When the loop is large enough, it can be slipped off the top of the case so the case can be unrolled


Detail of the end of the strap - the bead prevents the end of the strap from sliding free of the fastener

    What were the dimensions - have to make one this week for a Xmas gift. Did you pad it with fibrefill?
    Thanks

    [...] And that’s it! I hope you find this tutorial useful - please let me know if anything is unclear and I’ll modify it. Please also let me know if you make a case - I’d love to see what you come up with! More pictures of my case are available here. [...]
