completed: tunisian crochet case for my kindle fire

kindle cover

I knew from the moment Junior gave me a Kindle Fire, I had to crochet a cover for it! This is what I made from the striped Tunisian block (#318) from the other day. I made the rectangle as wide as the Kindle and long enough to completely wrap around it, then I decreased at the beginning and end of each row until I got to a point to make a triangle flap. I skipped a few stitches to form the buttonhole.

I added a round of sc around the whole thing and then another row on each of the flat sides for seaming. I blocked the whole piece, sewed the seams, blocked it again, and then sewed the lining fabric into place. I wasn't sure how this would turn out as I've never made anything other than those four squares from Tunisian crochet, but it is perfect! I'm really pleased with the result!
