Free Crochet Pattern: Simple Lip Balm Holder | Winter Edition

This is a crocheted piece.

With the chilly weather coming up, I wanted to knit something that would make me feel a little more cheerful.
This is a crochet project that can be made in your spare time and with a little leftover yarn.

If you knit it with thin yarn, you can create a delicate pattern, and it will be thin and comfortable to wear.
In addition to lipstick, it can also be used to store things like seals and USB memory sticks. Try knitting it to match the height of the items you want to put inside.

Instructions

The white piece in the photo was crocheted with a size 5 crochet hook, and the golden brown piece was crocheted with a size 4 crochet hook.

① Cast on a loop and knit the bottom using a knit stitch (Bottom knitting patternreference).
The knitting on the sides will be slightly narrower than in knit stitch, so we recommend knitting the bottom looser than the diameter of the item you want to put inside.

②Continue from the bottom and knit the pattern on the side (Side knitting pattern(See reference), and continue knitting until you reach the height that matches the item you want to put inside.
In both of the pieces pictured, the pattern has been knitted up to the 20th row.

③Once the sides are knitted, knit the loop to attach to the button.
Knit a chain until you reach the position where you want to attach the button and the length that suits the size of the button. Make a loop from the chain and knit a slip stitch at the base to complete the case.
Both of the loops in the photo are made by knitting 20 chain stitches into a circle.

④Once the case is complete, attach your favorite buttons.
