One of the latest crochet trends are muppet eye glass holders. If you don’t know what I’m talking about you need to check out Bert, Ernie, Animal, Grover and the whole crew! My oldest son wears prescription glasses and so does my husband so I couldn’t resist coming up with my own version: a Crochet Brainy Smurf Glasses Holder! We’ve already lost two pairs of very expensive glasses in this house so this crochet glasses holder will hopefully keep them from running away 🙂 Brainy Smurf was a perfect fit for this project because his character already wears glasses! The picture above features fun plastic glasses that are classic Brainy Smurf style, but the picture below shows him wearing/holding my husbands glasses 🙂 What yarn comes in that perfect smurf blue color you ask?! It’s Bernat Super Value in Hot Blue!!! The same color I used in THIS PROJECT. So be sure to stock up because you know this isn’t the last time I will be using it 🙂
Materials:
– Bernat Super Value yarn in Hot Blue and White (one skein of each). Find yarn at Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Polyfil Fiber Stuffing
– Giant Safety Eyes (24mm). I got mine HERE. This part is optional. Feel free to crochet a small black circle for the pupil of the eye.
– Tapestry needle

Sarah, Hands down, This is the most awesome crochet pattern and the idea I have ever came across.

And the best thing is my dad’s bday is coming and this will be the best gifts i will be giving him :). I will be subscribing to you for more posts like this..

Hello, I have a question about the pattern. For the ears, on round 13 it says to sc decrease until closed. How do I do this exactly?

This is great websites, I visited some of them but I didn’t know that Google offers free games.And this is I play free flash games in this websites.
Ghexia says
What a wonderful idea ! And it’s so cuuute ! I may will make one for me to put my glasses on for the night ! 🙂
Leslie says
I am amazed at your talent and your generosity in sharing your patterns with us. I wish I were half as talented, unfortunately, I am not. My 5 year old granddaughter just got glasses and she is having a heck of a time keeping track of them when she takes them off at night. She also adores Poppy, the troll. I copy, not create. I would be forever grateful if you could tell me how to turn Papa Smurf into Poppy. It would make one little girl ecstatic and would probably save her glasses from total destruction. [You wouldn’t believe the places we have found her glasses!] Thank you!

This would be really so amazing that we could get free sims free play cheats.

Wow! You have hit the mark with this pattern – I am in awe of your ability to convert something into a 3D form with crochet and make it adorable AND as good as a store bought toy!
We don’t have glasses in our family so if this head had an optional body it would be ideal!
Rika Ederveen says
Is er iemand die dit patroon voor mij kan vertalen. Van de Bril smurf.
