Crochet Ribbon Cigarette Case
I have fallen in love with the Lion Brand "Incredible" crochet ribbon. The ribbon I am using is "Autumn Leaves". For the past several months I have been threatening to buy a new cigarette case...never could find one that I liked and since the one I have is literally falling apart it was beginning to be one of those "take what you can get, not what you want" deals. Last night I was working on my CQ square when it occurred to me... this would be beautiful made into almost anything. So I used a single crochet stitch and in minutes this is what I came up with. I will continue for a couple more rows with decreasing at the beginning of each row to make the foldover into a curve, then use a button for the closure. I haven't decided yet whether I will embellish it or not since the glisten of the ribbon is lovely without anything else on it. The lining will be in a matching color (I think...a contrasting color might be ok.. will have to try several and then decide).
That ribbon is really cool. I'm going to have to go find me some!
