Materials
1/4 yard of vintage holiday fabric (I used an old pillow case)
1/2 yard of coordinating fabric
1 yard of ribbon
Coordinating thread
Sewing machine
1 Set of Candy Cane Knitting Needles
Directions
Cut 1 piece of holiday fabric and 2 pieces of coordinating fabric, measuring
9" x 17" each.
Fold one piece of coordinating fabric in half, width-wise. Top stitch 1/8" from the folded edge.
Pin folded piece to bottom half of the other piece of coordinating fabric. To accommodate the six sets of needles, sew pockets as follows: 1- 1 3/4", 2- 1 1/2", 3- 1 1/4".
With right sides together, pin the coordinating and holiday fabric together along with the ribbon piece folded in half and placed facing inward about 6" up from the bottom.
Using a 1/4" seam allowance sew together, leaving an opening for turning.
Turn piece right side out, and press. Fold turning opening inward and top stitch around entire piece, about 1/8" in from the edge.
Stick your needles in the pockets, roll up the carrier and tie it closed
Merry Knitmas, everyone!

ReplyDeleteI plan on making one for myself so I'll stop loosing my needles. I lost one of the first set of needles I ever got so this is a wonderful idea.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, easy gift idea : ) I'm putting together a "learn to knit" kit for someone and this is certainly going into it. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteI love the cases, I bought my mom 4pairs of Signature Needle Arts needles (the sizes that come in red and green) and this case will make for great wrapping!
