Knitting Needle Cases, Rolls & Pouches

 Print     Email

You can easily organize all your knitting needles and supplies with a roll or pouch. You’ll find some that are quite large and loaded with pockets and features, others are more simple and small. Something for everyone! I’ve included patterns that are sewn, crocheted or knitted–each are organized in their own section. Update: I added a vintage pattern for a taffeta case at the bottom of the page.
