Crochet Pattern: Crayon Case

This is so cute!! I know that our grandchildren will love these in their favorite colors. Thank you for all the patterns you share. I have made many.
Is the crayon holder a holder or does it have sections to hold thing?
Candace, this is adorable! Great job!
I made mine longer, then shoved all my highlighters and sharpies in them from work. Everyone now things I’m a huge dork. =D
I love it!
I have not worked this pattern yet but shouldn’t row 2 of the case be “2 hdc in each dc around”? Otherwise it would leave you only 10 hdc instead of 20. Thanks for another great pattern and I look forward to making this soon!
