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! :lol -- 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! :yes :cheer

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...:yes :lol

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. :hook

[Tampa Doll]

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. :yes

[cdngirleh]

Thanks for the compliments and encouragement, everybody. I love how supportive this community is!

[sunnywolfgar]

[angel]

You did really well with your hook case, I like the colours you've used (pink!) and no one can say it isn't a useful project! :)

[Roli]

Very nice work! I've seen that pattern too and yours looks great to me! Nice color to boot! :lol

[sewnsew]

I saw this earlier and I am off to make it tonight. I just lost my favorite hook:( and so it's time to make a hook case to put them all in. That way I don't loose another that size after I go buy myself a new one. Also after seeing yours I'm more confidant this is the case for me too. :)

[lindy]

Very nice job, and so pretty too. I think I need one of those.:D

[needlesandpinza]

I LOVE the center pocket!!

[krzykajun]
