Crochet: A football themed pouch or carrying case

Monday's Musings: Football

Ok...this is not the Monday football that most people speak of..instead..it is football themed crochet. Not quite the contact sport that comes to mind when you imagine a football game, but to crocheters, it could be deemed every bit as much fun. No, we aren't in full football garb carrying or chasing a pig skin ball around. We are, however, crocheting a likeness of it.

It seems that I am almost always crocheting handmade items that either have pink in them or are made for little girls. The truth is, it isn't often that I get the opportunity to crochet something for boys. When I do, the change is a welcome one. I wanted to share with you a sports themed pouch or carrying case that I recently made for my very special nephew.

This particular pouch was made to match the colors of one of his favorite teams and was designed specifically to hold a large set of Harry Potter collector cards. As you can see in the picture, the cards fit inside rather nicely.

It would hold a number of other things as well. This pouch sports a football on the back, as you can see.  It could easily be made with other sports logos or symbols.

I crocheted a raised row on the opposite side so that I could stitch the name of my nephews favorite player. This was a a fun project to make.

I intend to soon feature this pouch in my Etsy store. I really hadn't intended to sell them, but

my nephew is so happy with his case that I thought that I would offer it to others

as a custom made item. This case could easily be made to fit a Leapster, Nintendo or other small hand-held items.

If you are interested in placing a custom order for a carrying case of some sort, you can find my contact information in the upper right hand column of this blog.
