This Laptop Cover knitting pattern utilises the Blackberry stitch - one of the most notable aran knitting stitches as it is the only aran knitting stitch that can’t be achieved with a knitting machine - the mark of a hand knit garment.

This pattern is written up for a 2021 Apple Macbook Pro 14” with the following dimensions: Height: 8.71” (22.12 cm)
Width: 12.31” (31.26 cm)
However, there are directions within the pattern on how to adjust the pattern to fit your laptop for if it is a different size.

Aran knitting originated off the west coast of Ireland within the boundaries of its namesake home, the Aran Islands – a neat group of Gaeltacht isles nestled in the cold, restless waters of the Atlantic; their history long, rich and holding tight to an Irish-speaking status to this day. It is here that the ‘Aran Jumper’ hails from, this notable knitwear incorporating the very techniques created in inspiration from the surrounding environment.
