Pattern Notes
- The sleeve is worked as a rectangle that is folded and seamed, or worked in the round.
- A textured stitch (such as ribbing or linked stitches) gives extra cushioning and visual interest.
- The flap is added at the top and closed with a button.
- Keep tension firm so the sleeve fits snugly but slides on easily.
Complete Crochet Instructions
- Main Body
With Color A, chain the required width.
Work in a textured stitch pattern (for example, alternating front and back loop stitches or a simple rib) until the piece is long enough to cover the laptop and form a flap.
Fold the lower portion up and seam the side edges securely. - Flap
Continue a few extra rows for the flap.
Add a small chain loop or buttonhole in the center of the flap edge. - Assembly
Sew the wooden button onto the front of the sleeve so the flap closes neatly.
Weave in all ends carefully. - Finishing
Optional: add a light fabric lining or thin padding for extra protection.
Lightly block if needed so the texture sits evenly.
Tips and Variations
- Change the color to any shade you like (navy, charcoal, soft gray, or cream).
- Make it larger for a 15–16 inch laptop or smaller for a tablet.
- Add an internal pocket for the charger or mouse.
- Use cotton yarn for better structure and easier care.
