Things to do in Summer #2

It has been a little while since I designed some free patterns for you. That task just seemed to drop to the bottom of the ‘to do’ list. I have been thinking about my ultimate summer makes. First and foremost, sunglasses cases are top of my list. I have done at least two or three each year. Some to replenish well-worn originals. I also love making a sunglasses case for gifts. While you might not ‘adore’ crochet like I do. You can always find space for a zingy case.

The lovely people at Blacksheep Wools have asked me to make a few free patterns for their website. I was really happy to design two versions of this pattern. One in knitting and another in crochet. You can pop over to their website to download the pattern. I used the brilliant Rico Cotton Essentials DK. Don’t over think it thought. The brighter the better – you will always be able to spot your precious shades at the bottom of the beach bag.
