The Pencil Case
"This is super quirky crochet zipper pouch project with a little bit of sewing for the crochet and sewing lover. This simple pencil shaped pencil case is worked in rounds from the bottom up in one piece. A zip is added at the end to secure the contents of the case. Using Lily Sugar n cream or similar worsted weight home cotton, this is a stashbusting, fun and practical project - all my favourite things about crochet projects in one!! It’s great for storing your crochet hooks in too!"
