This case will not only protect your glasses from scratching.

Thanks to the bright strips, it will help you easily find your glasses in your purse.

Plus, it makes a perfect gift for anyone. Friends, relatives, co-workers – we all use sunglasses, and many of us wear glasses.

The best thing about this glasses case – it is very easy to knit. This pattern explains how you can knit it back and forth and in the round.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS

Length – 20 cm / 8”
Width – 9 cm / 3.5”

YARN

Any wool, wool blend, cotton, or acrylic yarn that has the equivalent of 100 m / 110 yds in 50 g / 1.7 oz. It is consistent with the Worsted weight that is marked by the digit “4” on the yarn label.

You will need approximately 16 m / 18 yds of yarn in the main colour, 13 m / 14 yds of yarn in a contrasting colour A, and 9 m / 10 yds of yarn in a contrasting colour. B.

To make the glasses cases featured in the photos, I used Knitca Woolly Warmth yarn (100% wool).

NEEDLES

Single-pointed (if you choose to knit back and forth) or circular (if you choose to knit in the round) needles in size 4 mm (US size 6).

NOTIONS

Wool needle, a crochet hook in a size 4 mm (US G-6), and 1 stitch marker (if you plan to make a seamless version of this glasses case).

GAUGE

18.5 sts and 24.5 rows = 4” / 10 cm in stockinette stitch worked back and forth.

The glasses case is worked from the bottom up. The instructions below explain how to knit it back and forth and how to knit it in the round.
