Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Base of the Hook Case

1. Start with a magic ring using the midnight blue yarn.
2. Rnd 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close.
3. Rnd 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches total). To increase, work 2 sc in the same stitch.
4. Rnd 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch* around (18 stitches total).
5. Rnd 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, increase in the next stitch* around (24 stitches total).
6. Continue this pattern of increasing until you have a total of 48 stitches. You will be adding one more single crochet before each increase in each round.

Working the Body of the Case

6. Change to silver yarn.
7. Rnd 5: Work even in single crochet for 5 rounds (do not increase).
8. Change to gold yarn.
9. Rnd 6: Work even in single crochet for 3 rounds (again, do not increase).

Creating the Star Motifs

10. Using the gold yarn, chain 5.
11. Slip stitch in the 2nd chain from the hook.
12. Single crochet in the next chain.
13. Half double crochet in the next chain.
14. Double crochet in the last chain.
15. Slip stitch to the base of the star to finish. This completes one star point.
16. Repeat these steps to create a total of 5 points for each star.
17. Attach the stars randomly on the case by sewing them on with the gold yarn. Position them to create a celestial effect.

Creating the Flap

18. With the midnight blue yarn, chain 20.
19. Single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook and across the chain.
20. Turn your work and continue to work even in single crochet for 5 rows. This will create the flap for your hook case.
21. Once completed, attach the flap to the top of the case by sewing it on securely with the midnight blue yarn.

Finishing Touches

22. Add a button closure using the silver yarn. Sew the button onto the flap and create a loop with the yarn on the case to secure it.
23. Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle to give your project a clean finish.
