Having had many, many knitting needles and crochet hooks passed down to me from my grandparents, I needed a home for them. So, I decided to make a crochet hook wrap. Using a mint green baby cotton/linen mix yarn that I picked up at my local yarn shop, I crocheted rows of double crochet to make a rectangle piece. I then edged it using single crochet in a natural beige colour. I made two crochet flowers and attached them to one side of the rectangle by a crocheted chain.
Using a piece of light blue spotty fabric, I lined the rectangle and created a pocket for my hooks to go into, with a small flap at the top to ensure that the hooks don't slide out (looking back this should have been a bit longer as some of my hooks are quite small).
It is really useful to keep scissors and all sorts in too, all the small bits that get lost in your knitting bag.
I hope that this brings you ideas of your own, my next idea is for a larger one to hold my knitting needles!
