Roll-Up Pencil Case

I'm on a roll today with my posts! So in light of that, I'll post my favorite "roll" up pencil case. I did one of these for my daughter when she started 3rd grade this year and she loves it. It is super easy and you can make them for all the little ones in your family who are heading back to school. 

Hook Size: G 4.50mm

Ch 26
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across - 25 sc
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sc in each sc - 25 sc
    Repeat Row 2 until piece measures 4 1/2" from beginning, end with a right side row.
Bottom Fold Row (wrong side) : ch 1, work sc in each st 2 rows below - 25 sc
    Repeat Row 2 until piece measures 14" from beginning, end with a right side row.

FINISHING

With right side facing, slip stitch down center of pencil case, working through both layers to divide into two pockets.
