My husband has always supported my knitting obsession, as he sees the wonderful benefit this hobby has had in my life. Although he financially and emotionally supports my hobby, he was always reluctant to allow me to actually knit anything FOR HIM.

Well, after viewing my last sweater, I have finally convinced him that this hobby has a worthwhile application for him. So, one day he asked me to create a cover for his new tablet, the Nexus 7 that I bought him for Valentine’s Day.

The interesting thing about this tablet is that it is a little odd shaped and will not fit a traditional tablet cover. My mind started churning and I came up with this little pattern.

In the pattern, I provide some tips to customize the size based on your tablet size. Please feel free to contact me on Ravelry if you have any questions.

Happy Knitting!
