Plaid Eyeglass Case

"This buffalo plaid crochet eyeglass makes a stylish and practical gift. Finish it off with a decorative metal clasp for a polished look. This practical and stylish buffalo plaid crochet eyeglass case. Crochet plaid is a fun colorwork technique that uses three colors of yarn and simple color changes to create a classic design. This version is made with linked double crochet, a variation on the basic double crochet stitch that eliminates gaps and makes a sturdy fabric that will protect your glasses or sunglasses. This stitch is easy to create and if you need extra help, you can follow the full video tutorial for the pattern. For this project, you will definitely want to use a soft cotton yarn, as acrylic or other synthetic fibers can scratch your lenses.You just need one dark color (here, I used purple but black is also popular choice) and medium and light shades of a second color. After you crochet the pouch, you’ll use thread to sew on a metal frame clasp lock, which gives the purse a polished look and keeps it tightly closed to prevent your glasses from falling out."
