I had mentioned before that I had started making
these e-reader covers for a dear friend of mine in a bright bold color. I actually had made it for her Kindle. Then I realized you know I can make these for
just about anything anyone wants to put in them like a mini I-Pad or a
Kindle.
I do tend to keep my stitch pattern that simple and I prefer to make them all made from
100% cotton yarn (Sugar and Cream yarn) for easy care and durability (because of
the thickness of the yarn). Now again as
I have mentioned before you can make them with 100% acrylic yarn as well. The
covers can be washed and I do recommend dry flat.
These covers/caddies
are a great way to protect your devices while stashed away in your purse or
bag.
The cover measures approximately 7-1/2" by 6" closed and they do have
a stretch to fit most Kindles, Nooks and mini Ipads or similar sized readers.
I think when making these make them how you want them not how someone else
tells you. However, if you have a dear
friend like I have that did tell me what she wanted (color) then you do it for
them. I think when you see the variety
that is out there you can go with those great ideas and come up with your
style.
I started to crochet these e-reader covers
before I actually started to make the ones for the Ipad. I had mentioned before that a friend wanted
me to make one for her in a bold color.
So the fact that she was so sweet to lend it to me for measurement and
fit purposes was awesome.
I really
enjoy the stitch pattern that I use for these! It’s simple and they are all
made from 100% cotton yarn (Sugar and Cream yarn) for easy care a few I have
done with 100% acrylic yarn as well. The cover can be washed for sure however I
do recommend dry flat. Hey if you are anything like me and the cotton yarn is on sale or you have a coupon USE IT and wait til they are on sale. This is how I stock up on all of my favorite yarns at AC Moore or Michaels. Depending on who has what I am there to stock up.
These covers/caddies
are a great way to protect your e-reader device while stashed away in your
purse or bag. Don’t get me wrong you can definitely stick to the traditional covers
but when you have something fun and colorful like one of my covers get them
both. J
The cover measures 7-1/2" by 6" closed and can stretch to fit most
Kindles and Nooks or similarly sized readers.
I have been crocheting for about 6 or so years and enjoy making quality items. Believe it or not each one is unique and
waiting to be put to use! I think everyone deserves something handmade and
something that is made to their liking.
Oh and if I never mentioned this before I make all of my crochet items in a smoke
free home!
