A brioche-style design and contrasting yarn colours give this sunglasses case its crisp vertical stripes. Combine front post double crochet and single crochet stitches (U.S.) to create a dense, protective case which looks great too! A perfect crochet project for your summer holiday!

Written in English, this pattern includes versions in both U.S. and U.K terms. This pattern features comprehensive photo tutorials & links to video clips to demonstrate techniques. The Summer Stripes Sunglasses Case is suitable for experience levels from confident beginners up, no prior experience using brioche techniques needed. You must be comfortable working front post stitches, and working in the back loop.

You will need:
-approx 92m/102yds of DK (light worsted/#3) yarn in two contrasting colours. I used 32g Yarnsmiths Pebble Haze & Pebble Haze Prints DK (67% cotton/ 33% acrylic, 145m/159yds per 50g); colours shown here are Saltburn with Limestone (pink version) and Lulworth with Marble (blue version). Any cotton, cotton blend or acrylic yarn could be used for this project.
-4mm hook
-1 x 14mm button (optional)

The finished sunglasses case measures approx 9.5cm wide & 17cm long; size can be adjusted to make larger versions such as a tablet or e-reader case. This also makes a lovely phone case!
