Now here is a great gift; a cool looking Kindle cover! I made this for my husband and he really likes it. I hope he is not the only one, so here is the knitting pattern!
It is knitted back and forth using the cross stitch knitting technique. The cross stitch knit gives a dens material that is perfect for covers. The cover is sewn up at the end and an Icord in a contrast colour is attached to the opening and a loop is made to close the cover.
Cross stitch stitch is a bit time consuming and is therefore best used for smaller projects like this Kindle case. It comes out less elastic than stockinet stitches which works well for a snug fitting cover. The texture of the knitting is lovely and slightly masculine.
You need about 25g of yarn. The model is knitted in Jamieson and Smith, Shetland Supreme Jumper Weight, shade grey SSJW: 2009 Yuglet.
For the Icord you need some scrap yarn in a contrasting colour.
Skill level is easy, and keep in mind that cross stitch knitting is somewhat more time consuming than plain knitting.
