e-Reader Cover in all sizes

E-Reader Covers

As the pattern is written, the cover will fit the Original Kobo, Kindle Fire 1^st Gen and Kobo Arc with only slight modifications to it’s length (see Table 1). A separate chart for the Kobo mini is also included with cast on modifications for different yarn weights (see Table 2).

Directions:

Using the preferred weight of yarn, cast on the appropriate number of stitches ( DK weight yarn use 52sts, Worsted weight yarn use 46sts, Chunky weight yarn use 38 sts) and join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.

 

Using the chart below as a guide, (Table 1) knit in stockingette until 25mm (1”) less than the length of your e-reader device.
