Kindle Sleeve Crochet Pattern – Simple and Textured Patterns
Remember when I designed a chunky book sleeve pattern? Well, I’ve decided to branch out and make sleeves for my Kindle Paperwhite! I basically have a stash of Red Heart Super Saver yarn that I’ve been trying to figure out how to use effectively, and they’re stiff texture is perfect for a sturdy Kindle sleeve. I used a 5 mm crochet hook with this yarn to make a sturdy fabric to protect your sleeve. Personally, I don’t like button enclosures on my sleeves because I don’t like them to stack unevenly or snag in my bag. This sleeve is designed to fit snugly around your device and is definitely perfectly swaddled.
I’ve decided to put both the simple and textured patterns together in the same post and downloadable set since they start exactly the same on the first two rounds. The only difference between them is whether to continue with a double crochet stitch or the alpine stitch pattern for the body of the sleeve. In both patterns, we end with a half-double crochet round to neaten the edge.
