Tool Roll (Free Pattern)

This pattern will walk you through the steps to make your tool roll with instructions for both a crochet and knit version. I crocheted a blue tool roll to store my crochet hooks and knitted a purple one for my knitting tools. You can use this tool roll to store any kind of tools (eg. sewing tools, leather crafting tools, color pencils, brushes, etc). 

The pattern is made-to-measure and there is no fixed gauge. It is meant more as a flexible guide rather than a fixed pattern. Feel free to customize and shake things up with modifications etc. Having a basic understanding of sewing (back stitch, seam allowance, running stitch) will be very helpful. 

There are 2 parts to this pattern 
1) Crocheting/knitting a rectangular panel 
2) Sewing on the fabric lining + attachments that your tools will fit into 

Materials
  • Knitting needle/Crochet hook size to match yarn
  • Any yarn weight, amount needed depends on the size of your tool roll
    • For reference, I used 80g DK yarn for my blue crochet tool roll and 100g Aran yarn for my purple knitting tool roll
  • 1m x 1m thin fabric - look for cotton/linen and a non-stretchy fabric 
  • Thread to match the color(s) of your yarn
  • Elastic bands
