Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in sunset hues (orange, pink, purple, and yellow)
• Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Snap closure: One snap button
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using your orange yarn, create a magic ring. This will be the foundation of your glasses case.
2. Round 1: Inside the magic ring, work 6 single crochets (sc). Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. You should have 6 stitches.
3. Round 2: Chain 1 (ch 1), then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 12 stitches now.
4. Round 3: Chain 1, then *sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch* around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 18 stitches.
5. Continue Increasing: Repeat the increase pattern until you have a total of 36 stitches. This will form the base of your glasses case.
6. Switch to Pink Yarn: Change to your pink yarn and work even in single crochet for 5 rounds. Do not increase; just work in each stitch.
7. Switch to Purple Yarn: Change to your purple yarn. Now, you will work in a mosaic pattern: *sc in the next 2 stitches, then double crochet (dc) in the front loop of the stitch 2 rows below* around. Repeat this pattern for 4 rounds.
8. Switch to Yellow Yarn: Change to your yellow yarn and work even in single crochet for 3 rounds. This will create a smooth transition to the flap.
9. Create the Flap: Continuing with yellow yarn, follow these rows:
   • Row 1: Sc in the next 18 stitches, turn your work.
   • Row 2-5: Chain 1, sc across, turn your work.
   • Row 6: Chain 1, sc2tog (single crochet two together), sc in the next 14 stitches, sc2tog, turn. (You will have 16 stitches.)
   • Row 7: Chain 1, sc2tog, sc in the next 12 stitches, sc2tog, turn. (You will have 14 stitches.)
   • Row 8: Chain 1, sc2tog, sc in the next 10 stitches, sc2tog, turn. (You will have 12 stitches.)
10. Finish Up: Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.
11. Add the Snap Closure: Sew a snap closure to both the flap and the body of the case to secure it. Make sure it is aligned properly for easy use.

And there you have it! Your very own Sunset Mosaic Snap Closure Glasses Case. This vibrant and cozy case will not only protect your glasses but also add a splash of color to your accessories. Happy crocheting!
