Tonight I finished a new design for a crochet hook case. I really like the design I came up with, though the inside cover is a little "plain" in sc, but the outside cover makes up for this. I also reinforced the inside with cardboard, but plastic canvas or any similar sturdy material would work just as well.
Inside: Ch 26, sc in each st across, sc in every st until piece measures 12"
Outside: ch 27, sc in 2nd st and each st across
R2: ch3, turm, sk first 2 st, dc, dc in st just skipped - cross st created, cont across, dc in last st
Row2-8:Rep cross st row
Row9-14: sc
Rows 15-23: cross st
Row 24: sc, fasten off
Joining the pieces
Working through both thicknesses, Sc 42 sts onto bottom longside of the case for hook pocket, ch1 turn
R2: working in bl only sc across
R3: sc in each st until piece is about half the height of the cover
Fold pocket up and sew side seams to inside cover
Sew center for binding through both thicknesses (just sew vertical through the covers only)
Sew individual pockets for each hk
Join yarn in lower right corner, sc around working through both thicknesses, if desired place cardboard or plastic canvas between inside and outside cover for added strength
