Free crochet pattern for a zippered crochet hook case with pockets. It holds a notepad and notions such as scissors, measuring tape, and stitch markers.

I used single and linked crochet stitches as well as Dishie yarn from WeCrochet. Full video tutorial included.

I love pockets. Actually, I haven’t met one woman who doesn’t love pockets.

The same is true for crocheters. We have so many little notions, hooks, and papers with notes on them.

Naturally, we appreciate any pouch, bag, or storage item that has pockets. And lots of them!

However, most storage solutions for crochet hooks and notions lack one specific feature. And that is a pocket for notes and printed patterns.

That is why I have designed this crochet hook case pattern with lots of pockets!

Most crocheters take notes while they crochet. And not all of them are on an electronic device.

At least I’m still very old-fashioned by using a pen and paper to take notes when I design crochet patterns.

The last time I published a crochet pattern that focused on the importance of pockets was the crochet hook holder pattern.

It has a huge pocket for letter-sized papers to be stored inside the book-like case.

This time I really wanted a crochet hook case with pockets for my favorite crochet hooks. One that I can take with me without worrying about losing anything.

So, in order to accomplish this special feature, it needed a zipper! But I’m not a fan of sewing a zipper to a lining, so I used a hot glue gun.

For everything! And it worked out beautifully!

Crochet Hook Case Using Linked Crochet

I’m currently totally in love with Linked Crochet. Not many crocheters have used it and it has so many benefits.

It is a Crochet technique and type of Tunisian Crochet.

However, to make it more visually understanding, I like to say it’s a combination of Regular Crochet and Normal Crochet.

Using Linked Crochet for this crochet hook case allows you to remove the gaps that are usually created when crocheting regular crochet stitches.

Using these stitches allows you to create crochet projects that provide a secure texture so none of your notions get lost during transport.

You will not need an extra lining for a pocket to add this security feature.

Combining stitches, techniques, and inventing new stitches mixed in with lots of laughter and humor is what The Crochet Club is all about.

No more “my work is not good enough” or “it’s not perfect”. You will experience how to be the best crocheter you always wanted to be.

Be proud of every stitch of your work.

Now let’s talk about what the best yarn for this crochet hook case project is, shall we?

Best Yarn for This Crochet Hook Case

Well, that all depends on what you prefer. However, it should be 100% cotton if you will use it often and need to wash your case once in a while.

I like using really soft and sturdy yarn that can last a long time and won’t stretch too much.

So, I thought the WeCrochet’s yarn “Dishie” was the perfect yarn for this handy and functional crochet hook case.

If you prefer subbing the yarn you can easily use any other yarn for this project. Just make sure it’s worsted weighted yarn.

Since Dishie yarn is made with either solid, twist, or multi-yarn colors, you can easily choose your preference and style.

Crochet Hook Case Free Written Pattern

You’ll crochet the large case piece first and then the pockets and pocket flap.

Once you finish crocheting all your pieces you get your non-crochet materials ready and hot glue all the pieces together.

The video tutorial shows very detailed step-by-step how to do that.

Crocheting the Hook Case Pieces

Large Case Piece

Using the dark pink yarn, ch 54

R1: starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 sc in each ch, turn

R2-37: 1 sc in each st, turn

Fasten off and weave in your ends.

Inside Pockets

Make 2, using light pink yarn, ch 21

R1: starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 atc (2 stacked sc stitches), 1 ldc in each ch, turn

R2-13: 1 atc, 1 ldc in each st, turn

Fasten off and weave in your ends.

Outside Pocket and Pocket Flap

For the Outside Pocket, using light pink yarn, ch 15

R1: starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 atc (2 stacked sc stitches), 1 ldc in each ch, turn

R2-7: 1 atc, 1 ldc in each st, turn

Fasten off and weave in your ends.

For the Pocket Flap, using light pink yarn, ch 15

R1: starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 atc (2 stacked sc stitches), 1 ldc in each ch, turn

R2-3: 1 atc (as decrease – 1 sc dec and then adding 1 sc on top to create the atc), 1 ldc in each st, until last 2 sts, 1 ldc as dec (do as you would for a normal dc just linked), turn

R4: 1 sl st into each st, until you reach the center, make a chain of about 5-8 chains (depending on your button size), 1 sl st into each st until the end

Fasten off and weave in your ends.

Finish and Hot Glue the Crochet Hook Case with Zipper and Pockets

After you finished crocheting all your pieces and also prepared and cut your non-crochet materials, you are now ready to hot glue everything together.

Remember to watch the video tutorial for step-by-step instructions to assemble the case together.

First, you’ll hot glue the plastic canvas to the fabric.

It doesn’t need to be perfect as the hot glue lines will be hidden once it’s hot glued to the large crochet piece.

Next, you’ll hot glue very gently and slow the zipper onto the fabric.

Start by folding your fabric in half and marking the halfway point.

Then start from the end of the zipper (where the small metal stopper is) and hot gluing that area first to the center point on the edge of the fabric.

The video shows very clearly how to do that.

Make sure that the inside part of the zipper is hot glued to the fabric on the side where you see the canvases.

Also, be aware not to hot glue the teeth too close to the fabric or add any hot glue onto the zipper teeth.

Of course, you can also sew the zipper to the fabric, but it would need to be done by hand as the plastic canvas can break a sewing machine needle.

Once the zipper is attached on both sides of the fabric, you will hot glue that large crochet piece to the fabric with the canvases shown.

Hot glue the pockets to the crochet hook case

Next hot glue the open inside pocket to the left side of the fabric like a mirrored L – so on the bottom and right side of the crocheted piece.

Optionally you can sew a yarn piece through the non-glued edges of the crochet piece so you can pull them to make the pocket tighter.

Furthermore, you can optionally add a button to wrap the yarn pieces around.

Next, you will create small pockets using the other medium-sized crochet piece but flipped 90 degrees, for your hooks to fit.

I only created 4 pockets as I have large Furls Crochet Hooks. You can make smaller pockets for thinner crochet hooks.

Work your way from one side to the other side always creating an L shape line with the hot glue.

Finally, sew your button to the small pocket on the outside and hot glue the small pocket to the outside of the crochet hook case.

The hot glue should be in a U-shape on the edge of the square.

Finally hot glue the small pocket flap above the pocket, just adding a thin straight line of hot glue.

Using the Crochet Hook Case

Now you are done crocheting and assembling your crochet hook case with fabric, zipper, and pockets.

You can use the left inside pocket for many things. You can simply just add folded papers, tuck a notepad from the top down into the pocket opening or even add an agenda from the left opening.

However, the possibilities are endless on how you can use that left inside pocket.
