I tried making granny Squares and I got hooked to the idea and designs. Making granny Squares are very easy and relaxing.
Best thing I found about granny Squares is that these project do not need much yarn of a specific colour, it’s basically about using scrap yarns.

This is an easy Beginners Crochet Tea light holder, it took me an hour to make this as I had to rip it off 2 times as always😜😜

I completed making this crochet hooks roll case in two days flat and learned quite a lot of things.
This is not a beginners project, you need to have some experience in crocheting for this.
A lot of counting of stitches goes into making this project. A bonus hint for beginners is at the end of this post.
The pattern involves making double crochets, trebles and back posts.
I found this very beautiful pattern of Ammonite on Pinterest first and searched for a tutorial on YouTube.
Click here for the detailed tutorial.
If you don’t understand any stitch, just click on the settings and change the speed to .5 , the slow motion stitching is way more clearer.
This roll case has 12 slots for 12 hooks.
I have used:
A 4 ply acrylic and nylon yarn bought from Amazon
Small beads: 12
The pattern is freely available on YouTube by an amazing youtuber Dedri on the channel named It’s all in a Nutshell Crochet.
Roughly, this project starts with a chain of 102 simple chains, and then it is folded and joined for round 2 and then you have to keep working on increasing those 102 stitches.
Making only the roll case is comparatively simple and a beginner can easily attempt it but making the Ammonite part is slightly tricky.
A very detailed written post is available on Dedris’s blog here.
Tips from a Beginner to the Beginners:
– Always go for a multi-colored yarn when you are a beginner and trying to make a project which involves a lot of counting.
– The different colors makes it easy to remember counts.
– Make the first starting chain a little loose, preferably with a bigger hook, else the starting chain will be tight and the next double crochet will be loose making the work look curved.
If you are a beginner and would like to see some of my beginner projects, then please have a look at some of my previous projects – Easy flowers, bookmarks, jellyfish keychain, Warm Slippers, Scarf, Baby blanket, Bear Appliques
So my dear Readers !! What other things can be organized in this roll case? Any suggestions??
If you like doing crochet, how do you organize the hooks? Do let me know in the comments!!
I learnt crochet in school but reluctantly, because it was required as a part of my curriculum. This time, i am learning it because i really want to 😀
I will be chronicling my crochet journey here with time stamps so that anyone having an iota of interest in crocheting can see the difference from 0 to hopefully-an-expert-chrocheter-someday.
Project 1-
It was a flower. I made and remade and remade.
It took me an hour for just this one blue flower and then i made 2 more after i got an idea. Made on 8/5/2020
Tutorial taken from here and here.
Hook used was a 3mm and cotton yarn.
Project 2
It was simple headband for my 2 year old ZO.
Sadly, she didn’t like it so i opened the stitches and rolled it back
Tutorial taken from here.
This was a very simple and good project to make for a beginner.
The results are visible very fast.
Hook used 3 mm, cotton yarn and time taken was 2-3 hours in 2 days. Made on 11/5/2020
Lesson learnt: Always keep counting the stitches else the headband will be narrow at some places and wide at some 😛
