E-reader Book Cover

This e-reader cover looks like a book cover. I did mine in white because that's what i had in my stash. You can use any size needle for the type of material you'll be working with.

What you'll need;

• pair of knitting needles
• material to knit with
• sturdy cardboard or plastic
• a button or braided wool

What you'll need to know;

• st-st = Stockinette stitch
• K2tog = Knit 2 stitches together
• YO = yarn over 

The pattern;

Measure your e-reader. You'll need to know length "A" and "B" from the picture posted. The pattern it self will be stitches measuring the length of "A". You will need to knit 4 lengths of "B" . Also about an extra 1cm or so for the spine, and 2" or so for the closing flap.

After knitting in st-st the 4 lengths of "B" and the spine you'll knit the closing flap. For this knit half your flap and mid way through your row K2tog and then YO  twice. continue the other half of your flap. You will notice this creates a hole in your work. This is where the tie/ button will be.

Now you have this long piece of work. it will fold in two and slip the protective hard material inside with a small piece of the protective material for the spine. Sew the entire piece together. Attach braided wool or button to the cover and slip it through the hole. At this point I knitted 2 small ropes to sew onto the back inside of the reader to keep my e-reader in place. There you have it a knitted e-reader cover. Feel free to jazz it up. I'd love to see your e-reader photos!

     

Furniture Booties (Chair Foot Covers)

I made this pattern as a request for a friend. As i was making these I noticed how very little published free patterns there were of this type. So this pattern came to be. This pattern can be made into any size that you require.  The pattern itself can be molded to any shape or size. The pattern can be altered to fit any style you'd like. Make sure you measure your furniture leg and make the proper gauge for your needles and yarn or wool.

What you need to know for this pattern;
 - "kfb" = Knit front and Back (of stitch)
 - "c/o" = cast on
 - "b/o" = bind off 
 - "dpn" = double pointed needles
 - "sts" = stiches
 - "k" = knit

 What you will need for this project;
- set of dpn
- yarn

Pattern;
c/o 6 sts (divide 6 sts between 3 dpn)

1. kfb
2. (all even rounds) knit
3. kfb, k2, kfb [x3] (6 sts)
5. kfb, k4, kfb [x3] (8 sts)
** Please note that here you can continue expanding the bottom of your pattern here the same way that it has been expanding until you reach desired diameter**
7, 13, 19, 25. Purl
All other rows besides those mentioned above are knitted. Keep going until you reach round 30 then b/o.

This will give you the pattern shown in the picture (will post a picture as soon as i can find one.). You can make any pattern you'd like, as I mentioned this pattern came out of need for one. There you have it, your furniture booties. Make as many as required for your furniture.
