On top of being a devote crocheter, I am also absolutely obsessed with reading, so the absolute perfect birthday gift for me was a gorgeous new kindle.

However.

You know how kindles tend to scratch and chip at the screen, leaking a beam of light that totally runes the reading experience (I’ll give you three guesses as to what happened to my old one)? I desperately wanted to preserve this one, and decided that it would be the perfect test for my crochet skills.

This kindle cover is made with the star stitch, which has the duel benefit of looking absolutely stunning, and providing the case with a wonderfully protective cushy texture. For me, the best part about this pattern is the versatility - since you’re basically just making two rectangles, you can of course customize it for a variety of purposes; macbook case anyone? So put on your favorite songs, prep some reading material, and lets get crocheting!
