Crochet Pattern: Glasses Case
Start by chaining 8 or a chain that is the width of your desired glasses case
Note: if you change the number of chains, the total number of stitches in each of the following rounds will be twice the number of chains you start with here.
Round 1: ch 2, hdc in third ch from hook and in each ch across, working into remaining loops on opposite side of chain, hdc in each ch across, sl st in top of beginning ch-2: 16 hdc
Round 2: ch 2, turn, hdc in each hdc around, sl st in top of beginning ch-2: 16 hdc
Repeat round 2, 14 times or until the glasses case is as long as you desire. Then finish off.

Rachel, you are a star! I’ve been looking for a nice case to make for my glasses. Thank you!
Great pattern Rachel! I like how you included the instructions for crocheting on the other side of the chain. It’s really helpful.
Thank you!
Thanks for the pattern I may make one for my glasses!
Rachel, thank you for your site. I used your easy patterns to jar my memory in order to crochet again. What a help!
When making the eyeglass case, is it important to use a really soft yarn so the glass/plastic does not get scratched? Did you line your case?
In advance, thanks!

Hi Gigi, lining the case is a good idea! I didn’t do it to mine since my yarn seemed to not scratch. But if you do line, you probably won’t have to worries about the yarn scratching or leaving fibers on your lenses.

The Round 1 directions don’t make sense to me. They ask you to hdc into hdc’s, when all we do before Round 1 is create a chain. They’re aren’t any hdc’s to stitch into for Round 1, just chains. Is there a Round missing before what is called Round 1? Wouldn’t you have to hdc into that chain before you hdc into hdc’s?

Hi Peggy, that was a typo, thanks for catching that! All fixed now! Let me know if you still need help.
I think you still need a lining because the ear piece of the glasses stick through the yarn. I also added a flap [decrease sts on only one side of the case by doing 5 rows, decrease a sts on each end til 1 st remains, finish off & weave end through] onto the case and add a button or Velcro for closure.
Rachel, I can get the first round, but I’m lost on how to keep the rounds straight after that. I keep ending up in a spiral which I know wont finish the same.
I’m teaching myself how to crochet and this was a great beginner/easy pattern. Thanks!
Hello Rachel,
I am trying to make this case for myself but I am having a little difficulty. I can do the first round until I get to the slip stitch part. Do I slip stitch in the hole under the ch-2 or into one of the chains? I was slip stitching into the hole under the Ch-2 and my pattern was starting to spiral. Is it suppose to spiral? Thanks!
Hi Lanisa, the slip stitch is made in the top chain of the chain 2 (which is also the second chain you made). If you turn after each row you make, it should prevent the stitches from spiraling.
Hey there!
I’ve just finished making this glasses pouch for my mom, and she loved it. I added the lining, made the flap, and stitched a cute button too. It turned out super cute. Posting the pictures for you. Hope you will like it!
