Hi everyone! I don’t know about you, but I love to read! Ever since I was little, I have always had a book in hand. I recently got a new kindle for my birthday because I had the original one from 10 years ago. My parents offered to buy me a case for it, but I saw an opportunity to make my own. The yarn I used was a from a yarn shop and I lost the label so I have no idea what it is. I Love this Cotton by Hobby Lobby is a very similar weight and is softer than the one I used. This soft case is perfect for my Kindle Paper white and I am actually making another one for my mom. I have a YouTube video at the bottom of the page showing how to do the stitch pattern. I hope you enjoy! (:
