Rainbow Pencil Case

This case can be used for pencils, crochet hooks or lots more uses!

The size is approx 9” wide x 4.5“ tall.

The width can be made smaller by reducing chains in multiples of 2 or larger by increasing chains in multiples of 2. Its best to get the right size by chaining to fit around the zip that you are using.
