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. Save

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. Save

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. Save

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. Save

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.

Conclusion

This crochet eyeglass case pattern is a practical project combining simplicity with functionality and accessory appeal. By using basic crochet stitches enhanced with puff stitch textures and complemented by decorative but useful hardware such as the lobster clasp and button closure, the final pouch is both durable and chic. It’s an excellent project for crocheters seeking to create meaningful and versatile handmade accessories. Through consistent tension and careful finishing, you can produce a polished product perfect for everyday use or gifting.
