I learned to crochet only 2 months ago, so this took me a rather long time & doesn't look as neat as the one in the original vintage pattern. Approx. 16.5" x 7.5" when spread; 5.5" x 7.5" when folded up. It has a pocket that holds my scissors, measuring tape & pencil; a handy top flap keeps them from falling out. Instead of the button & the flower & leaf motif, I put a wraparound tie in fuchsia, so when closed, it looks like a pretty gift! An alternative, pleasurable challenge for a newbie who's NOT into potholders. Based on the classic design by the remarkable Sally George; see link below.

I'll have to make this,it's a very good alternative to buying the nearly ten dollar ones I've seen.

it looks great! And really practical too, if I had that many crochet hooks I'd probably do one myself!

It is inspiring that you have only been crocheting 2 months and turned out such a lovely and useful item.
My Mom was heavily into crochet, but I never quite got the hang of it. Since she has since passed on, I have been trying to learn to honor her memory and I am favoriting this as a possible starter project.
Thanks for sharing the link with the pattern and your experience and tweaks to it.

I hope I'm not just stupid but I can't seem to find a link anywhere on here to lead me to the pattern.
