Red & White iPad Case Crochet Pattern

Red & White iPad Case Crochet Pattern

Project Overview

This downloadable crochet pattern, designed by Sayjai Thawornsupacharoen, provides instructions for creating a structured iPad case measuring 8 x 10.4 inches (20 x 26 cm). The finished case features a classic red and white color combination, making it both functional and visually appealing for protecting tablets during daily use or travel.

What is Being Made

A protective iPad case constructed entirely through crochet techniques. The case is worked in the round to create a seamless, fitted container suitable for standard iPad devices. The project includes a button closure detail for securing the case opening.

Crochet Techniques Used

This pattern employs the spike stitch as its primary decorative and structural technique. The spike stitch creates visual texture and dimensional interest by working stitches into rows below the current working row, producing a distinctive raised pattern. The case is worked in rounds using a continuous circular construction method, beginning with a chain foundation and joining rounds with slip stitches rather than turning the work between rows.

Stitches Used

• Chain (ch) – foundation stitch for beginning the project
• Single crochet (sc) – basic stitch used throughout the pattern
• Slip stitch (sl) – used to join rounds together
• Spike stitch (sp1) – specialty stitch created by working single crochet into a stitch one row below, providing texture and dimension

Materials & Tools

The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn, specifically DK/Light Worsted Cotton Time from Schachenmayr in red (030) and white (001). A 4.00 mm crochet hook is used to work the yarn. Additional materials include a 1.7 cm button for closure and a tapestry needle for finishing and weaving in ends.

Gauge & Sizing

The pattern specifies an alternating spike stitch gauge of 20 stitches over 4 inches (10 cm) horizontally and 26 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) vertically. Maintaining proper gauge ensures the finished case achieves the intended dimensions of 8 x 10.4 inches.

Difficulty Level

Rated as a beginner-friendly pattern, this project is accessible to crocheters new to the craft. While it introduces the spike stitch technique, the overall construction using basic stitches and straightforward round-by-round shaping makes it suitable for developing foundational skills.
