Kindle Cover Knit

I made this as a Nook/Kindle cover for a man. All the other patterns have nice cables and such, but it’s not very manly. In addition, I could not find a button or bead to suit my needs, so I went with a tie. It took me no time at all to complete.

Yarn: 

1/4 skein of Patons Classic Wool in Dark Grey Mix

Pattern:
Use the Long tail cast on so you can sew up the bottom.

BO
Sew bottom

Use 4 inch scrap yarn thread through from back to front on both ends. Tie both ends, you may add beads if you like. To close the cover, thread through the holes you made on top.
