This practical accessory combines handmade crochet construction with fabric lining, resulting in a durable storage solution perfect for pens, pencils, and small supplies. The finished piece measures approximately 23 x 22 cm (9 x 8.5 inches) when opened, making it an ideal size for everyday carrying.
What Is Being Made
This pattern produces a structured pencil case featuring a crochet exterior shell paired with an interior fabric lining.

The case is designed to hold and organize writing instruments and small accessories securely.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
The pattern utilizes fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The primary stitch used throughout the construction is single crochet (sc), which creates a tight, sturdy fabric ideal for a functional accessory that requires structure and durability. The gauge for this project is 16 single crochet stitches by 19 rows per 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inch) square, ensuring consistent sizing and proper fit when the crochet shell is combined with the fabric lining.
