Crochet Eyeglass Case with Keychain Clasp – Step-by-Step Pattern

This crochet eyeglass case combines simplicity and practicality in a compact design that doubles as a keychain. Using basic crochet stitches and minimal materials, the case is both durable and stylish. Incorporating a lobster clasp and a sewn button closure, this project allows you to carry your glasses securely, attached to keys or bags. The detailed instructions cover each step from foundation to assembly, making it suitable for those eager to create a functional accessory with decorative flair.

Pattern Highlights

• Constructed in 5 rounds/rows, finishing with a clean single crochet border for durability.
• Incorporates puff-style clusters for texture and reinforcement.
• Functional design includes addition of a lobster clasp for portability.
• Fastens securely with a button sewn using crochet thread for subtlety.
• Uses medium-weight yarn with a 3.5 mm hook for a balanced fabric firmness.

Notes

• Work in rounds, joining each round with slip stitches to maintain a uniform circular shape.
• The puff stitches add bulk and cushioning, protecting eyeglasses inside.
• When attaching the lobster clasp, ensure it faces outward and is securely fastened.
• Sewing the button carefully prevents visible thread on the back side of the case.
• Maintain consistent tension to achieve a neat and even texture.

Skill Level

• Appropriate for beginner to intermediate crocheters.
• Requires knowledge of chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), and double crochet (dc).
• Familiarity with crochet clusters or puff stitches is helpful but explained clearly within the pattern.

Materials

• Yarn: Barroco #6 in turquoise or a comparable medium-weight yarn.
• Crochet Hook: Size 3.5 mm hook.
• Accessories: One lobster clasp (mosquetão), button for closure, Cléa threading yarn or sewing thread for attaching the button.
• Tools: Sewing needle for button attachment.

Measurements / Sizing

• Approximate width and height after assembly correspond to average eyeglasses size.
• Case easily fits most standard sunglasses or reading glasses.
• Thickness is flexible due to puff stitch padding.

Gauge and Stitch Pattern

• Gauge is approximate given the functional shape; aim for consistent tension in double crochets and puff stitches.
• Stitch pattern alternates between spaced double crochets and clustered puff-style stitches to create texture and structure.

Stitch Abbreviations

Special Stitches

Puff Stitch (3 Double Crochets Closed Together)

• Yarn over, insert hook into stitch or space, yarn over and pull through loop.
• Repeat above two more times into the same space so multiple loops are on the hook.
• Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook simultaneously to close the puff stitch.
• Adds thickness and texture ideal for protective fabric.

The Crochet Pattern

Foundation – Round 1: Creating the Base Ring

• Begin by making 5 chain stitches (ch 5) loosely.
• Join into a ring by inserting the hook into the first chain and making a slip stitch (sl st).
• Chain 3 to count as the first double crochet (dc).
• Work 15 additional double crochets (dc) into the center of the ring for a total of 16 dc stitches (including the initial chain 3).
• Ensure stitches are evenly spaced for a neat circular base.

Round 2: Double Crochet and Chain Spaces

• Chain 4 – counts as 3 for double crochet + 1 for chain space.
• Work 1 double crochet into the next stitch, chain 1.
• Repeat dc, ch 1 around the ring to create spaces evenly between the double crochets.
• Join with a slip stitch into the top of the starting chain 4.

Round 3: Puff Stitch Clusters with Chain Spaces

• Slip stitch into the first chain-1 space to position your hook.
• Chain 2 to begin.
• Work a 3 double crochet puff stitch closed together (puff stitch) into the same chain-1 space.
• Chain 3 (creating a space before the next cluster).
• Repeat this sequence—puff stitch cluster, chain 3—in every chain-1 space around.
• Join the round with a slip stitch to complete.

Round 4: Solid Double Crochet Covering

• In each chain-3 space from previous round, work 4 double crochets directly, without adding chain spaces.
• When you reach the final group of stitches in this round:
  • Attach the lobster clasp (mosquetão) carefully so it hangs on the outside of the eyeglass case.
  • Continue to finish remaining stitches after clasp placement.
• Join with a slip stitch at round end.

Round 5: Clean Edge Finishing

• Work 1 row of single crochet stitches (sc) into every stitch around the previous row.
• This forms a neat and firm edge, preventing fraying or loose stitches.
• Join with a slip stitch at the end of the row.
• Chain 1 and cut the yarn, securing the end.

Assembly & Finished Size

• Fold the pouch in half (following the shape formed by the rounds) so that the case closes like a pouch.
• Position the lobster clasp at the top center of the fold for convenient attachment to keys or bags.
• Sew the button securely on the front side of the case using Cléa thread or sewing thread.
• Take care to sew in such a way that the thread is not visible on the back side, ensuring a clean finish.
• Weave in all loose ends carefully with a needle inside the case for durability.
• The finished pouch comfortably fits standard eyeglasses or sunglasses, offering soft protection with a stylish look.
