I made up this little needle book for a gift – and could only find two needles to use in these photos, so obviously I need to make one for myself too! I've been challenging myself to work through my yarn (and felt) stash, so this was a good project.
You will need:
- Worsted weight yarn
- US 6 straight knitting needles
- Two pieces of ribbon cut to 8" each
- Two pieces of felt cut to 7" x 3"
- Hand needle and scrap thread
Start by making the knitted cover. Cast on 20 stitches. Continue in st st until piece measures 8". Bind off and weave in ends.
Hem each ribbon end. Attach one ribbon to the middle of each short end of the knitted cover.
Arrange felt rectangles in the middle of the cover and sew in place, either by hand or with a machine.
No more lost needles, and a little less yarn in the stash.
