Crochet Hook Roll-Up Case

Crochet Hook Roll-Up Case: Step-by-Step Guide (Star Stitch/Ponto Estrela)

I. Materials

Yarn: Medium to heavy weight yarn (similar to the one in the photo, often cotton or acrylic blend).

Hook: A crochet hook size appropriate for your yarn (e.g., 4.0mm to 5.5mm).

Notions: A yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, and a button or cord for closing.

II. Basic Pattern Steps

1. Foundation Chain :

Chain a length that is slightly wider than the longest crochet hook you plan to store.

2. Main Body

Row 1: Work a row of Half Double Crochet (HDC) or Single Crochet (SC).

Rows 2 – End: Use the Star Stitch (Ponto Estrela) for the main body of the case.

The Star Stitch creates a dense fabric with a lovely texture and small openings.

Continue working rows until the piece is long enough to fold up and cover all the hooks, plus an extra flap for closure.

Fasten off and weave in the ends.

3. Creating the Pockets

Determine the height you want the pockets to be (usually about half the length of the case).

First Pocket Row: Attach the yarn to the bottom edge of the case at the desired pocket height.

Work a row of Single Crochet (SC) or Half Double Crochet (HDC) across this line.

Pocket Dividers: This is the crucial step. You will use slip stitches or single crochet to create vertical lines that form the individual slots for each hook.

Place a crochet hook on the case to mark the width of the first slot.
Working from the bottom edge of the pocket row up to the top edge, use a yarn needle and a length of yarn, or a slip stitch, to create a vertical seam (or chain space) to separate the slots.
Repeat this vertical seam for each desired slot, ensuring the slots are tight enough to hold the hooks.

Edging: Work a final row of SC around the entire case for a neat, finished edge.

4. Closure

Attach a loop, tie, or button to the flap or the body to allow the case to be rolled up and secured.
