New Year, New Hook Roll

Posted in Crochet, Sewing

Contrary to what I said last post about mending things, the new year is a great time (for me, anyway) to make some new things, too.

The author's hand holds her old hook roll over a wood background. The hook roll is rolled up, secured with three buttons. It is crocheted in a variety of pastel shades.

My old crochet hook roll is looking a little tired. I wanted something that my hooks would not fall out of, and something made of fabric.

So, I found some nice fabric in my stash, and a pattern from an old craft magazine, and a few hours, and here it is!

The author's old and new hook rolls are beside each other on a wood background. The old crocheted one is to the left, and the new fabric one is on the right. They are both rolled up, the fabric one tied shut and the crohet one more loosely.

This is actually Christmas fabric, left over from Christmas sewing. I thought it looked neutral enough to work year-round. (And I really like it.)

The new fabric hook roll is unrolled on a wood background, outside facing up. The fabric is pale grey, with sprigs of red foliage and red berries, On the foliage are black, white, and pink birds, and in-between the birds and the sprigs are gold stars.

I like having extra pockets for my hooks, in case I acquire more, and having a pocket for scissors.

The fabric hook roll is rolled flat on a wood background, inside facing up. The lining fabric is dark grey. The pockets and flap at the top are both made of the outer fabric, with hot pink ribbon around the edges. In most of the pockets are hooks and a pair of embroidery scissors.

The top flap means the hooks can’t fall out, and it hides a little square of crochet for my yarn needles to live in.

Close-up of the ties that keep the hook roll shut. They are thin hot pink ribbon, and the two ends have knots. The pink matches the pink of the birds in the fabric.

I’m really happy with the ribbon around the interior edges – the instructions used piping, but I thought this ribbon from my stash would look better.

It is also very thin ribbon, so it was tricky to get it all caught in the seam.

It’s being put to work at the moment, and is working fantastically! I love having something so nice to look at daily.

Anyways, see ya!
