Eyeglasses (sunglasses) holder crochet pattern:

Crochet holder case:

Ch 31.

Round 1: DC in the 3rd chain from the hook and in each chain across. In the last chain, make 3 DC. Turn your work to continue on the opposite side of the starting chain. DC in each chain across this side, then make one more DC in the last chain. Join with a sl st to the first DC. (60 DC)

Round 2: Ch 2, DC in the same st as the join, then DC in each st around. Join with a sl st to the first DC. (60 DC)

Round 3: Ch 3 (counts as a DC), skip the join st. [Skip the next 2 sts, work 3 DC in the following st] – repeat around. At the end of the round, skip the last 2 sts, then work 2 DC in the join stitch (together with the starting ch-3, this forms a group of 3 DC). Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch-3.

Round 4: Ch 3. Work 2 DC in the same st as the join. [Skip the next 3 DC from the previous round, and work 3 DC in the space between the next two groups of 3 DC from the previous round] – repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch-3.

Repeat Rounds 3 and 4 three more times, or continue repeating until you reach the desired size.

Crochet holder flap:

Row 1: sl st in next st, ch 3, 3 DC in the space between the next two groups of 3 DC from the previous round, [skip the next 3 DC, 3 DC in the space between the next two groups of 3 DC] – repeat 8 times. DC into the central DC of the next group. Turn.

Row 2: Ch 3, work 2 DC into the space between the DC and the group of DC from the previous row, [skip the next 3 DC, 3 DC in the space between the next two groups of 3 DC] – repeat 8 times. Skip the next 3 DC, 3 DC in ch-3 space, DC in the 2nd ch of the ch-3. Turn.

Row 3 : sl st in next st, ch 3, 3 DC in the space between the next two groups of 3 DC from the previous round, [skip the next 3 DC, 3 DC in the space between the next two groups of 3 DC] – repeat 8 times. DC into the top of the ch-3. Turn.

Row 4: Repeat Row 2.

Row 5: Repeat Row 3. Cut the yarn.

Attach the yarn and work across the holder flap with SC. Space the SC as desired—neither too close nor too wide. Check the video tutorial for further instructions. Sew on the magnetic button. If you’d like to decorate the holder as I did, check out my crochet mini flower pattern.
