EReader Cabled Cozy

When I got my Nook, I knew it needed a cover. I looked at all the possibilities, but they weren’t quite right. In the end, I had to knit one for it.

This pattern fits all the new mini tablets that are now on the market (such as the iPad Mini, the Nook HD and HD+, the Kindle Fire, the Kindle Fire HD, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and the Google Nexus 7).

This starts at the flap, working flat. Then the remainder of the stitches are cast on and the rest of the cozy is worked in the round. The pattern calls for double pointed needles as that’s how I prefer to work in the round, but it will just as easily work using circular needles.

Techniques used in the pattern include a crochet cast on, cabling, crochet edging (single crochet and reverse single crochet), 3-needle bind off, and I-cord. Increases are done by knitting into the front and back of the stitch.

The cable pattern is given in chart form. Familiarity with cabling will be very helpful in completing the project.
