I had bought a crochet hook case from the store and it was crummy! All the hooks fell out when you held it sideways. So I crocheted this one and I love it!
Its from the pattern here: http://www.sarahanns.com/crochetworks/case.html

This is my favorite hook holder pattern. I've made a few and they all work so well. I love yours, is that Boa around the outside?? Great job!!!:clap

[Me&P]

Very cool!

Thanks :) Yep boa around the outside, thought it would make it look more modern than the original design with the flower :D
I think I'll make another one now that I know how it works LOL like with chains for the larger hooks instead of just front loops.

That's awesome! I've been looking for a pattern for a hook holder that was crocheted instead of sewn like the ones I've seen. Great job!

:clap

[snbunch]

Was it easy to make, by the way? :think

[vatonc1]

I have been planning to make that FOREVER :D I really need to get to it though LOL! Yours is beautiful! The boa was a nice touch!

[aliciasjoy]

I like the way that looks very much! At first I thought that you had done very tiny fringe all the way around, didn't even think of eyelash yarn, so duh to me! Very cute!

LOVE the colors!!!!!! The website won't load for me but when it does...a printing & crocheting I will go....I sewed a tapestry hook holder for my plastic ones but this looks perfect for my new metal ones!!!:hook

[faithpa76]

I love that, the boa is a neat touch around the edge!

Yours look wonderful; I printed this pattern out some time ago,but haven't gotten around to making it. I'll bump it up on my wim list.:cheer :clap

yes, the only slightly difficult (more annoying than difficult) was sewing the pocket on. I like to slip stitch with the hook instead of sew wherever possible LOL but it comes through too much on the back if you do that...

[Angelhair]

I have been planning to make that FOREVER :D

Me too! But I got lazy and bought one instead. And then my hooks fell out onto pavement! eek what horror! So that really got me around to making it LOL

[Angelhair]

Thanks everyone for the compliments :D
If you make one, I recommend a yarn that has some stretch to it, works better to hold in the hooks than a nonstretchy one like say cotton or simply soft.

I made a case w/ this pattern & I love it!
It was so easy.
I got bored doing all that single crocheting, but
I finished it in no time!

I'm going to make my son one.

[kittencrochet]

awesome! I love that pattern. I made one for my bf...and then he lost it. Don't ask me how...we live in a 1 bedroom apt...but he did. Great job!

Wow your bf crochets? That is sooo cool!

[kittencrochet]

yup...he's been crocheting for about a month or so now. He caught on really well...in fact normally does better than I do! Except he can't read a pattern...I have to read it to him...but he follows directions well...lol! He's actually making a couple of the squares for the square exchange...begged me for an hour...hey, keeps him out of trouble anyway!

[Oslofia]

LOVE it :)

[Veronika]

So pretty!!! And I LOVE your "tools"!! :)

[AshEgypt]

Fantastic! And all your hooks look snug as a bug! :hook

[Kimberly]

What a great hook case! C'est tres bien cherie! (Translation - Ez very good dah'ling in a really bad french accent :lol )

[Tari Nienna]

I love it, Great job!

I wing one out but this one is a million times better. Mine is only for hook, with this one I can get rid of my case and have everything togeter. I will have to include it in my to do list. Great find! Thanks

Nice hooks too! The ones on the right, are they just plain clear? It is hard to see with the nice color of your case.

Keep up the good work

[Mom w/a Motif]

Nice! I like the fur around the outside. I still haven't made one of these, but maybe I will someday...

That turned out really nice! I always wanted to make a holder for my stuff, but never did. Your project inspired me so much that I went to the store and bought some purple and pink yarn and boa for it:cheer Doona

Thanks :D The hooks are transparent but different colors. They didn't photograph well. They are Susan Bates Crystallites. I'm not fond of crystallites but I needed an L and P hook and couldn't find those anywhere else.

That is supercool! Maybe he'll help find treasures for your stash :)
