Hide your glasses from Window
Peeper being able to use them
(or take them!) in this Glasses
Case. You might call it a holder, or
handhafa, in Icelandic.

This project is worked flat with
increases and decreases used to
make a curved edge. Once done,
the flat piece is folded in half and
seamed together along the bottom
and short side, creating the perfect
hiding place for your glasses!
Following the chart will be the
easiest way to create this pattern,
but written instructions are included
as well.

Charts come with permission (and
actually encouragement) from
Ornaments and Patterns found
in Iceland, put together by The
Icelandic Handcraft Association.
This book is an amazing work
of art and true labor of love to
preserve and showcase Icelandic
colorwork motifs. It’s a treasured
part of Kirstin’s knitting library
and is highly recommended as an
addition to any knitting library.
