Laptop Sleeve

 




I just bought a new laptop!  I have been thinking about getting a Chromebook for a long time, so I finally decided to pull the trigger.  I am SO satisfied with it!  It's like having a regular laptop and a tablet all in one.  If you haven't tried Chrome OS yet, you are missing out!

Anyway, the only thing this new laptop was missing was a nice sleeve to keep it safe.  So I sat down and got to work on one.  I went with the Rice Stitch and some Red Heart Super Saver Stripes.  I am so happy with how it turned out!

Note: This was designed to fit my laptop, but it does stretch to go over my Windows Laptop that is a 15" laptop.  You can customize this pattern by measuring the base chain to make it the same length as your laptop.  Your number of stitches will be different, but you can still follow the basic pattern based off that.

Materials Needed:

Abbreviations:

Ch = Chain

fpdc= front post double crochet

bpdc = backpost double crochet

Sl st = slip stitch

Pattern:

Chain 47 

Round 1: DC in 4th chain from hook. Space DC in each chain until you reach the end. Then turn and do one DC in the backside of the chain all the way around until you reach the chain three.  

Round 2: Fpdc around chain three from the beginning of the last round, and place marker. Bpdc next stitch continue alternating fpdc and bpdc around until you reach your first stitch. 

Round 3-28: continue alternating fpdc and bpdc while working in the round. You will always put a fpdc in a bpdc and every bpdc will always go in a fpdc. 

Row 29: fpdc in next stitch, bpdc in next stitch, repeat until you reach the other edge, 47 stitches total, turn. 


Row 30: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *bpdc in next stitch, fpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 43 stitches, turn.

Row 31: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *fpdc in next stitch, dpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 41 stitches, turn.

Row 32: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *bpdc in next stitch, fpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 39 stitches, turn.

Row 33: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *fpdc in next stitch, dpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 37 stitches, turn.

Row 34: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *bpdc in next stitch, fpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 35 stitches, turn.

Row 35: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *fpdc in next stitch, dpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 33 stitches, turn.

Row 36: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *bpdc in next stitch, fpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 31 stitches, turn.

Row 37: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *fpdc in next stitch, dpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 29 stitches, turn.

Row 38: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *bpdc in next stitch, fpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 27 stitches, turn.

Row 39: skip 1st stitch, ch2 (doesn't count as stitch) *fpdc in next stitch, dpdc in next stitch, repeat from * until you reach 25 stitches, turn.


Round 40: Rotate your work and put two SC in the side of the DC from the previous row. Continue to work two SC and the side of each row until you reach the end of the flap then put one SC in each stitch around until you get back to the other side of the flap and go back to two SC and the side of each row until you get to the top of the flap then one SC in each DC until you reach the end of the round

Round 41-42: One SC in each SC around.


Fasten off.

Textured Crossbody Tote Bag

I needed to make something for my niece's birthday, and I had a 10oz Skein of Red Heart Super Saver Ombre that I wanted to use as much as possible to make her a bag.  I couldn't find a pattern that clearly stated it would take around the amount of yarn (482 yards) that is in one of these, so I just sat down and started doing some things and out came this bag.  I used almost the entire skein, I had enough left to make 2 tassels, so I did and added those to the bag.   Materials Needed: Approx 10oz of   Worsted Weigh t or similar yarn, I used Red Heart Super Saver Ombre . 5mm Crochet Hook Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Optional: Tassel Maker Body: Ch 47 Row 1: Sc in 3rd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, 45 st.  Rotate, and sc in each ch on the other side, 45 st. (90 st). Place Marker. Row 2 - 4: Work in rounds, using your stitch marker at the end of each row to keep count.  Sc in each st (90 st) until the end of the round. Row 5: *Dc in next stitch, Fpdc in

Granny Square Market Bag

Materials Needed: Around 590yd of DK yarn, I used Lion Brand Yarn 525-201 Mandala Yarn, Unicorn, 1-Pack 5mm Crochet Hook I also love to use my Boye Ergonomic Crochet Hook Handle , it really makes a difference! Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just follow from row 24 on.  The chain 80 is for the straps, so you can adjust those on your preference.  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch hhdc = herringbone half double crochet Pattern: Row 1: ch 4, sl in 1st ch to form a ring.  Ch 3(counts as stitch), 2dc, ch2, *3dc ch2* repeat from * until you have 4 clusters of dc, sl to top of ch3. Row 2:  sl st to the corner

A Batty Tablet Stand Pillow

It's hard to find yarn projects that work for men! I needed a nice Father's Day gift, so I thought a tablet stand pillow would be a good idea! I also wanted it to have a bat on it, for you know, batty reasons. This was my first time both making a graph and working from a graph, but it came out better than expected. If you're no so into bats, you could also just skip the graph and do a solid color, stripes, or even a different graph of your own liking. So here's what I did: You will need: Less than a skein of black  Worsted Weight Yarn , but you will use most of it. I used Red Heart Super Saver . Less than a skein of yellow  Worsted Weight Yarn , you won't use that much of it. I used something I had already that didn't have a label on it anymore. Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Poly-fill A crochet hook a little smaller than what your yarn recommends. I used a  4mm Crochet Hook   First, I started with the bottom t
