✨ Inspiration Behind the Design
The Everyone’s Everyday Sunglasses Case was created as a practical accessory within the Everyone’s Everyday Collection. I wanted to design a project that would showcase the beautiful texture of the Interlocking Row Stitch while still being lightweight, functional, and enjoyable to crochet.
One thing I love most about crochet is its ability to turn everyday items into something both beautiful and useful. Some of the most meaningful handmade pieces are the ones we carry and use every day, and this sunglasses case was designed with that idea in mind — a simple project that adds texture, function, and a little handmade charm to everyday life.
Dishie cotton yarn worked beautifully for this project, creating a fabric that feels soft while still having enough structure for everyday use. The finished case is lightweight enough to tuck into purses, totes, beach bags, and travel bags while helping keep your sunglasses protected along the way.
I also love the simple drawstring closure and the subtle woven texture created by the Interlocking Row Stitch. Together they give the finished case a clean, polished look while still keeping the project relaxing and enjoyable to crochet.

About the Everyday Collection
The Everyone’s Everyday Collection is built around the idea that everyday items deserve a handmade touch. Each pattern features the Interlocking Row Stitch, adding beautiful texture while still keeping the projects relaxing and enjoyable to crochet.
These patterns focus on practical projects that fit naturally into everyday life — from home décor pieces to simple accessories — all designed to be both functional and enjoyable to crochet.

Yarn + Fabric Feel
For my samples, I used WeCrochet Dishie cotton yarn, which creates a soft yet durable fabric that works beautifully for this sunglasses case while still remaining lightweight and flexible.
Dishie has become one of my go-to cotton yarns for practical projects like this. It’s easy to work with, holds up well to everyday use, and gives the stitches beautiful definition.
One of my favorite things about this pattern is how the Interlocking Row Stitch stands out in Dishie. The texture is subtle but beautiful, adding structure without making the finished case feel stiff or bulky.
I also loved how the colors worked for this design — from soft neutrals to fresh summer shades, Dishie makes it easy to customize your sunglasses case to match your personal style.
If you’d like to use the same yarn I used for this design, you can find it here:
Cotton yarn is especially well-suited for crochet accessories like this because it’s durable, breathable, and holds its shape well for everyday use inside purses, totes, and travel bags.
