Case Study - an intro to intarsia pouch knitting pattern

Case Study is a sharp little notions case, with just enough intarsia to be interesting. It features easy construction and an optional zipped lining.

Unlined, the Case Study pouch is the right size for a sleeve for your tablet or composition book. Lined with sturdy cotton and zipped up, it’s a notions case that perfectly matches your sweater. This pattern introduces techniques like tubular cast-on, intarsia knitting, and seaming.
