This is a quick and easy knit for knitters of all levels. It's a great way to use up leftover sock yarn. I designed this to fit like a sleeve. It's knit in the round on tiny circular needles. You could also use double pointed needles, or convert it to Magic Loop.
Materials
Sock Yarn
1 tiny stitch marker
US Size 2 9 "circular needles 2.75 mm 23 cm
Circular cable or holding yarn (to check fit)
US Size E or 4 crochet hook 3.50 mm
darning needle for sewing in ends
Leaving a long tail, cast on 70 stitches. (I do 71 and then knit the last stitch of the round and first stitch of the second round together.) Work in the round until you are an inch and a half from the top of your ipad. Slip stitches purl wise onto a piece of holding yarn or on to a circular cable with stoppers. Turn the cover inside out, and single crochet the bottom seam together with your tail.
Turn the cover right side out again and put the stitches back on your circular needles. It's a little tricky with the cord. Continue to knit in k2 p2 ribbing up to the top of the mini ipad. Bind off in pattern. Weave in ends. Block and shape to dry.
These are very relaxing and fun to make. They're quick, simple, and practical. I would love to see a photo of your project if you knit up this pattern. Please give me credit for the design and link to my blog if you share it with your friends. Enjoy!
That's a cute iPad cover, ideal for gifts.
