Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

This pattern is written for 5 cm retractable medical tapes (the ones dietitians use) but you could easily adjust for any size by using a thicker or thiner yarn and different sized hooks or by adding new rows.

The case is made of two pieces: a circle with walls in which the tape is placed and a second circle to encase the tape inside. Then details such as leaves are added.

In this pattern you will find written instructions and also some illustrations to help you out with the different colors for the fruits.
I hope it’s helpful!

This is a great project for yarn scraps!

I love to see your creations so please feel free to share what you’ve made and tagging me :)

ESPAÑOL

Este patrón esta escrito para cintas de medir médicas de 5 cm (de las que usan los nutriólogos) pero es fácil modificar el patrón a cualquier medida agregando nuevas hileras o uando un estambre de mayor grosor.

La cubierta se hace de dos piezas: un circulo con una pared en la que va a poner la cinta y un segundo circulo como tapa.
Después de armar la cinta se le agregan detalles como hojitas.

En este patrón encontrarás instrucciones escritas para tejer la cubierta y también ilustraciones para ayudarte con los colores y bordado de detalles.Espero sean de ayuda¡
