"Flower Patch Tablet Case" - Free Accessory Crochet Pattern For Home in Paintbox Yarns Simply DK

Flower Patch Tablet Case - Crochet Pattern Overview

What is Being Made

The Flower Patch Tablet Case is a protective accessory designed to fit tablets measuring 20 cm by 12 cm (8 inches by 4¾ inches). This crocheted case combines functionality with decorative appeal, featuring colorful flower patches that add visual interest to a practical storage solution for home use.

Crochet Techniques Used

This intermediate-level crochet project employs several key techniques to construct the finished case:

• Worked Flat: The pattern is constructed by working flat rather than in the round, making it accessible for crocheters who prefer this method
• Stripes: Colorful striping is incorporated throughout the design, creating visual texture and pattern variation
• Buttonhole: Functional buttonholes are worked into the construction, allowing for secure closure of the tablet case
• Seamed Construction: Pieces are seamed together, requiring finishing techniques to join the flat-worked components into a three-dimensional case

Stitches and Stitch Work

While specific stitch abbreviations are referenced within the pattern instructions using UK crochet terminology (with US equivalents provided), the pattern employs standard crochet stitches appropriate for creating a structured, durable tablet case. The modular flower patch design is built from basic squares measuring 4½ cm (1¾ inches), which are then assembled and incorporated into the overall case structure.

Materials Required

Yarn: The pattern calls for Paintbox Yarns Simply DK weight yarn in ten coordinating colors: Champagne White (A), Slate Green (B), Sky Blue (C), Blush Pink (D), Daffodil Yellow (E), Blood Orange (F), Raspberry Pink (G), Ballet Pink (H), Dusty Lilac (I), Buttercup Yellow (J), and Tomato Red (K). Small amounts of each color are needed, making this an excellent project for using yarn scraps or stash yarn.

Additional Supplies: A crochet hook appropriate for DK weight yarn is required, along with basic finishing supplies for seaming the completed pieces together and securing buttonholes.
