About this pattern: a Kindle 2 cover I knit for my boyfriend. The lace pattern is the same as the Artichoke scarf pattern – easy to remember and looks nice!
Attention: I did not gauge this pattern. It is useful to work this with your Kindle 2 handy, so that you can ‘try it on’ as you knit (if you don’t have a Kindle 2, you can look up the dimensions online and create a correctly sized cardboard cut out). The pattern below reflects my natural gauge – if your cover is too tight or too loose, try removing or adding stitches on the sides of the cover. As you are knitting, the cover will always look too small – it’s what keeps it snug.
Needles: size 4 circulars, at least 30” long for Magic Loop or double pointed needles.
Yarn: Sublime Soya Cotton DK, between 80-100 yards.
Pattern:
Loosely cast on 68 stitches, pattern is worked in the round.
Row 1: K2, P2, *K2, P2* repeat between *s to last 2 stitches, K2.
Row 2: K2, P2 *K1, YO, K1, P2* repeat between *s to last 2 stitches, K2.
Row 3: K2, P2, *K3, P2* repeat between *s to last 2 stitches, K2.
Row 4: K2, P2, *K3, P2* repeat between *s to last 2 stitches, K2.
Row 5: K2, P2, *K3, pass first stitch of stitches just worked over last 2, P2* repeat between *s to last 2 stitches, K2.
Repeat rows 2-5 for pattern until the Kindle 2 is completely covered. Bind off using Kitchener’s stitch.
This is cute! Love the pattern. I’m going to modify it to fit the I Pad. Thanks
Wow, awesome! Please share your results with me when you do, I can add a link to your modification if you put it online somewhere! :)
Cool! A Kindle cover! What a great idea. And I love your pattern too.
Thanks!
Thank you! :D
This is the nicest kindle cover pattern I’ve come across. It’s the one for me! Thanks for sharing it.
Best wishes, Steph
Thanks so much for posting this pattern! I’m knitting it now & love it :)
I plan on using this pattern on my kindle fire! I also want to try and modify it for a laptop. Quick question though, how many stitches are to make the pattern? Thanks for sharing this!
So after you cast on you make the magic loop? Or can I just knit in the round?
