It takes almost no time for my purse to become a complete mess, and perhaps the greatest tragedy is that my pens become nearly impossible to find. My best bet? Keeping them all together in an easy-to-grab case. The yarn is held triple, giving the case bulk and color. If you’re like me, this small step in purse organization can be a great help.

Skill Level:

Finished Size: 3 1/2″ (9 cm) around, 7″ (18 cm) tall

Crochet Pattern: Easy Pen Case
Round 1: holding 3 strands of yarn together, ch 5, sc in back loop of second ch from hook and each ch across, working on opposite side of chain, sc in front loop in each ch across, sl st in first sc: 8 sc
Round 2: ch 3, dc in each sc around, sl st in first dc: 8 dc
Round 3-10: ch 3, dc in each dc around, sl st in first dc: 8 dc

To finish off, cut a long tail and pull through last remaining loop. Knot end of tail then weave through the top of each dc around. This makes the drawstring.
