** Please be sure you are using the right weight of yarn (heavy DK, which is in between a sport and worsted weight) or whichever yarn to get gauge in colorwork design so that your finished sleeve will be the correct proportions. I used Winding River Fiber Arts Classic DK which is 231 yards for every 100g of yarn. If your yarn choice is more or less than the 231yds/100g then you will have a larger or smaller result.

Knit yourself a Kindle Death! Using the Selbu “Deathflake” pattern by Art Fiend, I adapted the chart slightly and then created a sleeve for an e-reader.

It knits up quite quickly, uses little yarn, and is a simple colorwork design. It has a knitted inner sleeve making this quite a nice cushion for your Kindle.

No buttons are needed for this pattern as it has a flip-over construction for the striped flap.

If there are any errors in this pattern, please email me.

-If you’d like to make it smaller or larger to fit other devices, you can change your gauge by using fingering, sport, or worsted yarn. Just figure out your stitches per inch on a test swatch.
