Craft a Knitting Needle Case




The first chilly days of fall always inspire me to get out my knitting.  When my knitting and craft supplies are in order and easy to find it makes getting started even more fun.   Here is a great craft project you can make for yourself or it will make a lovely gift for your favorite knitting enthusiast.  Using Quilted Fabric, Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape and some ribbon you can craft a beautiful and practical case for your knitting.

Shopping List:
1/2 yd. Quilted Fabric (42” wide will work fine)
2.5 yd. Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape
1.5 yd. Ribbon – about 1/2” wide (width does not have to be precise)
Optional - Embellishments such as Ribbon Roses

 Now you are ready fill your new case with knitting needles.  Fold each side toward the center; then fold again.  Hold it together by tying two bows. 


 Beautiful!

Variations
Make little pockets where the ribbon is attached; an extra space to keep some of your knitting notions.

Use Ribbon Roses or other small craft decorations to embellish your knitting needle case.
