Materials Needed for Your Crochet Eyeglass Case

Let’s get started by gathering our supplies. The right materials are key for success.

Best Cotton Yarn for a Sturdy and Soft Glasses Holder

We recommend using cotton yarn. This is for a durable crochet glasses holder. Cotton is strong. Likewise, It’s also soft. Therefore, it protects your glasses well. The original design, featured in the video by @TubaCrochet (https://www.youtube.com/@TubaCrochet), uses Himalaya Himagurumi yarn. This yarn is a sport-weight cotton. As a result of this, It has good thickness.
The colors used are:

*   Light Gray: For the main body.
*   Dark Gray: For the ears.
*   White: For the nose.
 If your yarn is thin, double it.

Recommended Hook Size for a Perfect Fit

A 3.0 mm crochet hook is used in the video. This size works well with sport-weight cotton. It creates a nice, tight fabric. This fabric is good for a crochet eyeglass case. However, always check your gauge. Your tension might be different. Adjust your hook size if needed. In fact, a slightly larger or smaller hook is okay. This will ensure your finished piece fits your glasses.

Other Essential Tools for Your DIY Crochet Project

Besides yarn and a hook, you’ll need:

*   Scissors: For cutting yarn.
*   Yarn Needle (Tapestry Needle): For weaving in ends.
*   Stitch Markers: *Essential* for marking increases.
*   Black Glittery Eva Paper: For eyes and nose details. You can also use black yarn.
