Making the Case
You will first CH 25.
Turn work and SC the entire first Row.
Turn and continue SC from Row 2 to Row 14.
SS at the end, cut and sew in the remaining yarn.
Reconnect the yarn; you will SC around the entire piece for a finished look. SS at the end, cut and sew in the remaining yarn.
You will create this piece two times, for both the front and the back of the case.
To Create the Bow
You will CH 12, then Turn.
HDC the entire Row 1, then Turn.
Continue the HDC technique until Row 25.
SS at the end, cut and sew in the remaining yarn. Once complete, reconnect the yarn; you will SC around the entire piece for a finished look. SS at the end, cut and sew in the remaining yarn.
Cut about less than half an inch of yarn. Find the 13th row to tie the yarn around the middle of the bow securing it tightly.
Knot it and cut.
Using an inch of yarn that you will cut, wrap the yarn around the middle of the bow (I wrapped about 4-5 times). Tying the yarn where it will be the back of the bow.
Knot it and cut it.
Attaching the Bow
You will sew the ends of the bow to one of the pieces which will be the front piece.
Using your yarn sewing needle, simply sew the side of the bow into the very end of the bow. This action will be done on both sides.
Cut and sew in the remaining edges to the other side (what will be the inside of the case).
To Attach the Zipper
Lie the piece flat, placing the piece on top of the zipper, not too close to where the teeth of the zipper lies.
With the thread and needle, sew the top piece to the zipper.
Continue this method for both sides of the case piece.
Final Steps
Once complete, with the yarn sewing needle and a bit of yarn, sew the sides and the bottom case pieces together to finish the project!
