Crochet Hook Case

A very handy little project.

Keep your hooks in this and pop it in your handbag when you're going on a trip.

Or give one to a friend who crochets!

Crochet Rose Cushion

Just imagine this design in colours to match your home!

Mine would be blue, of course.
And because I don't have an oversized button like the one Tristin used I'd have to do a lot of thinking to figure out what to put in the centre...

Anyway, all you need to know is how to make a chain and crochet shells into it!

Plus, using the same pattern you can make a scarf or wrap as well!
