Yo dawg, I heard you like pills* so I put your pills in this pill so you can take them where you take it.
See, this is a big felt pill. It looks like that little pill.
And inside of the big pill is a container with little pills. It's good for traveling because you can take your pills with you wherever you go.
I'm in the habit of carrying a prescription bottle and a baggie with Advil and Benadryl with me when I go on overnight trips. As part of my celebration of finding bright red Patons Classic Wool at the store, I made this little holder for my pills. It fits a small prescription bottle and a few bags of other stuff for traveling.
You will need one or two colors of Patons Classic Wool - I didn't measure yardage, but it isn't much.
You will also need size 8 double pointed needles.
Gauge before felting is 5 stitches by 8 rows per square inch.
Capsule top
Cast on 36 stitches and divide equally amongst 4 needles.
Knit 30 rounds.
Knit 7, k2tog. Repeat this sequence another 3 times, you will have 32 stitches.

Felt these pieces in the washing machine or by hand. I did mine by hand and it took very little time.
Now you have a pill shaped pill case.
Make 20 of these in 3 colors and you can play real life Dr. Mario.
*The number of Americans that take a prescription hovers between 40
and 50%. It is reasonable to assume that an even larger number of people
take over the counter pills somewhat regularly. I'm also going to assume
that this means most people "like pills."
