paula simoes' blogBookish Crochet: ereader cover
I’ve made an ereader sleeve in crochet before (you can check my post here), but with wool, not very comfortable for Summer, so I decided to make another one in cotton.
Recently, I was looking at patterns for wash or dish cloths (a good way to reduced plastic at home, just make sure the yarn is 100% cotton) and found the Cottage pattern by Sarah from Rich Textures Crochet on YouTube. It’s an easy and quick, but beautiful pattern that uses a puff stitch, giving some padding to the ereader. You can make it in a square or rectangle and any size, you’ll just need the foundation cord to be a multiple of 3 + 2. Check Sarah’s video, she guides you through the whole process and if you prefer written patterns, you can go to Sarah’s website here.
So, I thought if I made two, then I could stitch them together and had a sleeve for the ereader.
It fits perfectly, but I probably should have made one or two more rows so I could sew a button. I can still add a strap if I feel it needs it, but for now the ereader doesn’t come off by its own. Sarah adds a stunning border with a picot, but I thought I would sew them with a simple crochet.
