Knitting Needle Case back side

The back side is really plain on this case, but you could use a quilt square that you have left over, or applique something pretty on it. You could create pockets on this side as well, that perhaps close with velcro or a zipper to hold counting rings or other items that are used. Just remember that you are going to want to be able to roll this up.

Also, you will want to get a length of pretty ribbon to secure the roll, and you can stitch it down along one of the quilted rows or along one edge so that it doesn't get misplaced while the roll is opened.

Interior of the Knitting Needle Case

You can see that there are two pockets on this case, the yellow pocket was placed first and stitched down, allowing spacing for the needles. I ran the stitch the entire width of the fabric quilting the front the back and the batting at the same time. Then I placed the second pocket on the bottom and stitched, leaving a space open for circular needles or a patter to be placed. Once these pockets were on, the only thing left to do was create some binding around the edges to finish it off.

Knitting Needle Case

It was my friend Theresa's birthday and she is an avid knitter so I made this needle case for her. Quick and easy. Planning one for myself and one for the hygienist at our office who is also a knitter. There are lots of variations on the web, I used some fat quarters that I had, mixed and matched...again pulling my colors from the inspiration fabric with the hidden kitties. I took knitting needles and a pattern that I had and then also decided that she might have shorter needles or crochet hooks to store, so I adjusted the pockets accordingly. Made the flap big enough to fold over and secure the needles before it is all rolled up and tied.
