This handy cotton blend pouch is perfect to store your sun glasses (among other items) when you’re out splashing in the waves at the beach. We’ve made ours with a heart motif but it’s easily customized with different duplicate stitch patterns. It would make a great monogrammed gift or personalize it for yourself.

It’s an ideal beginner project. You will learn the knit and purl stitches, left and right leaning decreases, a button hole and duplicate stitch.
