Crochet Kindle & Book Pouch Tutorial

Material :

Hot Pink Yarn
Baby Pink Yarn
Crochet Hook (Size H/5.00mm or I/5.50mm recommended)
Button
Scissors
Yarn Needle

Create the Foundation Chain:

Start by making a slip knot with the main color (hot pink).
Chain 21 stitches to form the foundation chain.

First Row:

Skip the first stitch from the hook, then make four single crochets.
On the fourth single crochet, switch to the new color (baby pink) by pulling it through the loops on the hook to complete the stitch.
Continue making three single crochets, then change colors on the fourth stitch. You will have five starting blocks of checks in hot pink and baby pink.

Chain and Turn:

Chain one and turn your work.

Create the Check Pattern:

Carry the yarn colors along the edge and continue making the checks by doing three single crochets and changing colors on the fourth.
Don't forget to chain one every time you turn your work.
Repeat this process to create a total of four rows for each of the checks.
The video suggests switching colors on the last stitch of each row to prepare for the next row.

Create Multiple Rows of Checks:

Repeat the check process to form subsequent rows, maintaining the pattern to create a checkered look.
Continue until you have a total of 15 sets of checks (15 rows).

Finish and Change Colors:

After completing the last checker, chain one and cut the baby pink yarn.

Single Crochet Border:

Begin a single crochet border by single crocheting around all four sides of the piece.
If the pouch is for a thick Kindle case, you might add another round of single crochets to make it a bit bigger.

Create a Buttonhole:

At the top right, single crochet eight stitches.
Chain three, skip three stitches, and single crochet into the fourth stitch.
Finish the row of single crochets to create the buttonhole.

Make Scallop Edges:

Fold the piece where the two rows of checks will form a flap.
Join the sides with a scalloped edge by working three half double crochets in every other stitch and a slip stitch in between.
