This Knitting Needle Case craft is an authentic Victorian craft dated c. 1887. It is formed of dark blue kid-chamois leather and blue ribbon. Cut a piece of kid, 11 inches by 9 inches, fold it in half, and round off the edges as shown in the diagram. Unfold the kid, line it with chamois leather, and bind it round with narrow ribbon. Make the divisions for the needles with narrow ribbon, and embroider the numerals (corresponding with the knitting needle size) on them. Fold over the flaps, roll up the Case, and tie it round with ribbon.
If kid chamois leather is not available, any heavy material may be used. Coordinate the color of the ribbon to match or contrast nicely with the fabric.
