The Yarn
I used Furls Wander Acrylic Yarn for the Wander Wrap. I love how soft and squishy it is.
Colorways Used: A – Vineyard B – Moonbeam C – Arbor D – Alabaster E – Meadow
Ch – Chain Dc– Double Crochet LDc – Long Double Crochet RS – Right Side Sc – Single Crochet Sdc – Starting Double Crochet Sk – Skip Sl St – Slip Stitch WS – Wrong Side YO– Yarn Over
Stitch Definitions:
Ldc – Long Double Crochet – YO, insert hook into St, YO pull though the St and pull up loop to the height of a DC, YO pull through 2 loops, YO pull through remaining loops.
SDc – Starting Double Crochet – (also known as Long Chain Double Crochet or Chainless Starting Double Crochet.) Pull up your loop to the height of your usual Double Crochet. YO, insert into the 1st St, YO, pull through the Stitch, YO, pull through two loops on the hook, yarn over, pull through the remaining two loops on your hook. You could also use this method:
Ldc is placed in the middle stitch of the skipped 3 of previous row.
Changing Colors – When changing colors, complete the last Dc with the next color. For example; with Color A, YO, insert hook into St, YO pull up a loop, YO pull through 2 loops; YO with Color B and pull through remaining loops.

Are you notorious for just tossing your sunglasses into your bag to get all scratched? You’ll love the Sun & Shade Sunglasses Case!
The Sun & Shade Sunglasses Case is a quick and easy project that can use up your partial skeins of yarn.
I think I might make the teachers one of these this year. I’ve run out of ideas of things that I can make them at this point.
The Yarn
You’ll want to use worsted weight cotton yarn for this project. Based on your yarn choice the finished item might vary in size.
I used I love This Cotton (Yellow) and Lily’s Sugar n Cream (orange) when I made mine. Because the I love This Cotton is a softer and smoother yarn it ended up a little bit smaller than the one made using Sugar n Cream. The size difference is probably only .33 of an inch.
I found these cute novelty sunglass buttons at Joann. I thought that they were fitting so I had to get them. I have “normal” buttons in my container but none of them worked as well.
