The eyeglass case that came with my glasses broke last week and I needed a new eyeglass case. I couldn’t find any that I liked in the stores, so I decided to make my own. This is a favorite pattern of mine. I have made jewelry and crochet holder caddies with this pattern. For the eyeglass caddie I downsized the number of stitches and rows to make it a perfect fit. It is easy to adjust the caddie pattern for the perfect fit using any type of yarn. To make a caddie to fit your needs all you need to do is increase or decrease the stitches and rows. They make great gifts. Best of all, they are quick and easy to make!
