Crochet Bubble Stitch Pencil Case

Finally finished writing my pattern for crochet bubble stitch pencil case. I realized that a lot of my followers liked this kind of projects and decided to make new one with new stitch, and here it is. The cool thing about this crochet case that you can use puff stitch instead of bubble stitch with little adjustment.

You can use any similar yarn

Notes

We’ll be working on rounds. Do not Turn until the end when we close the sides.
We’ll use three colors, 1, 2 and 3.
You can use a plastic or wood button instead of the crocheted one.
The pencil case will be a long rectangle with one rounded side.

Bubble stitch or Puff stitch

In the instructions I mentioned how to crochet with the bubble stitch, and if you want to use the puff stitch instead all you need to do is replace every bubble stitch with a puff stitch with one additional condition. Do not count the chain we use to close every puff stitch as a stitch and do not crochet in it the next rounds.

Closing the sides

We’ll close the sides using a slip stitch as shown below:

* Count 6 bubble stitch (or puff stitch) from the straight edge up and fold there as you see above.

* Starting with right side of the case, start crocheting sl st through both layers using one loop of each. (pic 1)
* Stop when you reach the straight edge.
* Working in the straight edge alone, complete sl st FL until you reach the left side. (pic 2)
* Close the left side using same steps as the right side. (pic 3)
* FO and weave in all ends.
