Crochet Laptop Case
Materials Needed:
- Multicolored macramé yarn (half cotton, half polyester, bulky)
- Crochet hook (4.5 mm)
- Scissors
- Stitch marker
- Laptop (for sizing)
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.
