Idea by Molly and Pattern by Jennifer
The environmental impact of disposable wooden chopsticks is tremendous. According to The Independent in China there is an estimated 45 billion pairs of chopsticks that are thrown away which is about 25 million fully grown trees.Why not crochet these easy chopstick covers to carry a pair of chopsticks with you wherever you go?
Nylon string
Hook D
Chopsticks
bottom width 0.375"
top width 0.7"
length 10.75"
Chopstick holder for a pair of chopsticks that are narrow at the bottom gradually becoming wider towards the top.
Instructions for the chopstick holder shown in the picture:
Row 1: ch 2, 6 sc in second chain from hook.
Row 2: 2 sc in first sc, sc in next 5 sc. (7 sc)
Row 3-21: sc in each sc acround.
Row 22: 2 sc in one sc (8 sc)
Row 23-36: Repeat row 3
Row 37: 2 sc in one sc (9 sc)
Row 38-75: Repeat row 3, finish off.
General Instructions:
This is a simple custom fit pattern where an occasional increase (2 sc in one sc) is done as the chopsticks become wider. Throughout the project place the chopsticks in the holder to determine when you should start increasing. When the holder becomes too snug increase by one sc.
Row 1: ch 2, 6 sc in second chain from hook.
Row 2: 2 sc in first sc, sc in next 5 sc. (7 sc)
Row 3: sc in each sc acround.
Next rows: repeat row 3 until chopsticks fit too tightly then do an increase row
Increase row: 2 sc in one of the sc
Repeat row 3, next rows, and increase row until chopsticks are fully covered or until desired length.

Love it! Esp. the color.
This is BRILLIANT!!!
I like this pattern a lot, but there's a problem with the numbers: as you've got them, 1 tree makes about 2 pairs of chopsticks. That can't be right?
Sorry I misquoted The Independent and million should be billion.
Actually I'm really looking for a chopstick holder that is eco-friendly for my personalized and this is a good option, thanks also for the instructions and some tips.
