The Yarn
For designing the Crochet Striped Sunglasses Pouch I’ve used scrap yarn, because I’m not a fan of having lots of scrap yarn laying around. Because of that it makes so much sense for me to grab some leftover yarn to make those cute & small crochet projects.
You can essentially use any yarn for this project, but I recommend using a yarn that can withstand some wear & tear. The yarn shouldn’t be too soft either, as it should be used as a stiff protection for your sunglasses.
But you might want to grab the exact yarn I used. It’s a cotton yarn from Thailand, that I purchased on Etsy years ago. However it’s now discontinued.

Why crochet a sunglasses pouch?
Well’ if you’re anything like me, during summer, your sunglasses go with you everywhere. But just popping them straight into your handbag isn’t the best solution. Because everything goes straight in there right?
Your keys, your wallet, your phone….your everything. Most likely that means there’s so many sharp edges in there & thus you’ll end up with some really ugly sunglasses that looks really old & are full of scratches.
That’s the main reason why I made the crochet Striped Sunglasses Pouch.
However, I also think that having something handmade in your purse makes so much sense. Or why not multiple handmade crocheted items?
How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that change from person to person.
- Gauge isn’t that important for this tutorial. It can be made in any size & just use your sunglasses as a model for it to fit.
- But if trying to match gauge: Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger (more details).
- At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis. It includes starting chain(s).
