This sleek, padded laptop sleeve is perfect for protecting your device in style. Made with dense stitches and a flap button closure, it’s both functional and modern — great for students, professionals, or anyone who wants a custom-fit case.

Materials
– Bulky weight yarn (approx. 200 g)
– US 10.5 (6.5 mm) knitting needles
– Tapestry needle
– 2 wooden or plastic buttons (1–1.5” diameter)
– Measuring tape
– Optional: thin felt for lining, sewing needle & thread

Instructions

1. Measure Device:

   • Measure your laptop's width and height. Add 1” to both for ease and seams.

2. Cast On:

   • Calculate stitch count based on gauge (e.g., 14 sts = 4”) to match the width of your laptop.

   • Cast on enough stitches to reach that width.

3. Main Body (Garter Stitch):

   • Knit every row until your piece reaches double the height of the laptop plus 3” extra for the flap.

4. Bind Off and Fold:

   • Bind off all stitches loosely.

   • Fold the piece so the bottom half becomes the sleeve body. The top 3” will fold over as the flap.

5. Seaming:

   • Sew the side seams with mattress stitch.

   • Attach buttons to the body and cut small slits into flap for buttonholes or sew loops with yarn.

6. Optional Lining:

   • Cut felt to match inner dimensions and hand-stitch inside for added protection.

How To
– Choose tightly spun yarn for better structure and durability.
– You can felt the piece slightly for extra stiffness (if using wool).
– Adjust the size to fit tablets or larger laptops.
– Add a small inner pocket for cables or a mouse.
– Spot clean with a damp cloth or hand wash only.
