iPad Cozy
This is a simple recipe-type pattern to show how any handspun can be adapted in a pattern. I used almost all of a 4 ounce handspun in roughly DK weight.
This iPad Cozy pattern is a one-size recipe for nearly any type or weight of yarn. It was originally designed for handspun yarns, which are generally less consistent than commercially spun yarn, but I have included directions for commercially spun yarn as well.
You MUST determine the stitch gauge in the yarn/needle you are using to successfully complete this pattern. Row gauge is not important for this pattern. Fabric should be dense but still flexible, so I recommend using a needle size slightly smaller than recommended for the yarn weight. Suggestions are also given below.
Materials:
4 ounces handspun yarn: 10-14 wpi OR
100g commercially spun yarn in fingering to worsted weight.
One large button – at least 1.5”/3.5cm in diameter
Tools:
Straight or Circular Needles in a size to match the weight of wool. You will want a denser fabric, so I suggest the following as a starting point:
Fingering – 2.25 mm/US 1
Sport - 3.5mm /US 4
Worsted - 4.5mm/US 7
