Getting tired of fishing for my scissor, stitch marker, and pens in my crochet bag, I made this little carrying bag for it.

| Hoops for scissor |
The hoops are made as I crochet the hdc. Using this method, you can place the hoops to your liking. To hold wider items, like scissor, ruler, chain longer. Example, my pen holder, I ch 3, while for my scissor, it's ch 4.
This method may be apply to make a crochet hook or knitting needle pouch/keeper.
