Ben's Eyeglasses Case
This case for glasses or sunglasses is knit in the round with a colorwork design that is created from thrums, or short pieces of wool roving that are knitted in, leaving the ends in the inside of the case loose and fuzzy. The top hem is knitted flat, and the last row of the piece is not bound off, but is turned down and then sewn to the inside of the piece, creating a hem facing.
