Pattern Instructions

Making the Foundation Chain:

• Start with a slip knot.
• Pull the yarn through to form a loop, and place it on your hook.
• Chain 26 or any even number of chains that fit the size of your laptop.
• To create a chain, yarn over and pull through the loop on the hook.
• Make sure the number of chains is even because you will be using the moss stitch.

First Round:

• Chain 1 (turning chain).
• Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook and make a single crochet (SC).
• Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch.
• Work one SC into each chain across the foundation chain.

Working in Rounds:

• In the last stitch of the chain, make an additional SC.
• Do not turn the project; you will be working in rounds.
• Continue to work along the opposite side of the foundation chain by making one SC in each stitch across.

Completing the Round:

• In the last stitch of the round, place two more SCs.
• Join to the marked stitch with a slip stitch.
• In total, you should have 28 stitches now.

Second Round (Moss Stitch begins):

• Chain 2. This will count as the first stitch.
• Skip one stitch and work one SC into the next stitch.
• Chain 1, skip one stitch, and SC into the next.
• Repeat this sequence (chain 1, skip one, SC in next) around the round.

Subsequent Rounds:

• At the end of the second round, chain 1 and work a SC into the chain-2 space from the beginning of the round.
• Continue by chaining one and placing a SC into the chain-1 spaces from the previous round.
• Repeat this for each subsequent round.

Checking the Fit:

• After a few rounds, check the fit by placing your laptop inside the pouch.
• If it's too tight, go back to the foundation chain and adjust accordingly.

Completing the Case:

• Continue working rounds until the case covers the laptop.
• After approximately 53 rounds, the case should cover the laptop entirely.
• Finish off by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving.
• Chain 1 and then make a slip stitch to seamlessly finish off the round.
• Pull the yarn through, tighten, and weave in the end securely.
• You can make a couple of knots to secure it before cutting off the excess tail.

Final Touches:

• The pattern results in a snug-fitting, beginner-friendly handmade laptop case with a textured moss stitch pattern.
• You can customize this pattern by using different yarn or stitches to achieve different outcomes.
