Pink Crocheted Hook Case

[cdngirleh]

Last week, I finally completed my first "real" crochet project: a case to hold my hooks and other tools.

 

From the front, closed:

 

And inside, filled with tools:

 

The metal hooks fit nicely in the unworked loops, and the pocket is big enough for scissors, measuring tapes, yarn needles, etc., plus all of my big plastic hooks, too.

 

I used Red Heart Super Saver for the yarn, and followed this pattern: http://www.sarahanns.com/crochetworks/case.html, added a buttom closure, and substituted a simple white edging for the flower embelishment. It's not pefectly made, but it's very useful, and I learned a lot about reading patterns -- and frogging yarn! -- while working on it. And I think I'm hooked on crochet, now, to boot! (Bad pun not completely intended...)

Your Hook Case is beautiful! You did a great job on it. Now I wish I had one or two or three of them. Really, I'm impressed with your project!

That is so cute...I need to make and extra large one of those ...I have way to many hooks...I just bought 6 clover soft touch hooks so now I have over 2 dozen hooks...

I crocheted a hook case for a swap item but have never made myself one. Yours is great; the thing I like about it is the extra compartments, for all the extras.

Very pretty. Of course you have to make a case to hold all your hooks first. The little buggers tend to hide if you don't lol:rofl

I love the funky colours too. The metal hooks are Boyle hooks that I bought at Hobby Lobby, and the big plastic ones are Jo Ann's Essentials from Jo Ann's. Both sets were very reasonably priced, perfect for someone on a budget like me.
