A tablet cover (tablet sleeve) in shell stitch. The cover is started at the bottom and crocheted round. The pattern is a video tutorial.

You need one 50 g ball of yarn for each of the main colours and half a 50 g ball for the single crochet stitches in between the shell stitches.

You can also use different weights of yarn:

Number of stitches needed
(always multiples of 8 +1)

  • Sport (5 ply) yarn, hook 3 mm: 8 x 9 + 1 = 73 stitches
  • DK (8 ply) yarn, hook 4 mm: 8 x 8 + 1 = 65 stitches
  • Aran ( 10 ply) yarn, hook 5 mm: 8 x 7 + 1 = 57 stitches

Please note: the pattern is a video tutorial, no written instructions.

There is a separate video for making a felt fabric lining for the cover.
