Tablet Case for iPad & Samsung

Tablet Case for iPad & Samsung — finished piece, photo from the original Poochie Baby blog post

A simple case for 9–10 inch tablets, with instructions for three yarns plus owl and flower appliqués to dress it up.

Hey everyone, Here is a new pattern for a tablet case. This pattern is intended for 9-10" tablets such as iPad, Samsung Note 10.1 and other tablets of the similar size.

A note about the yarn used to make the case :

I made three different cases. Two were made with Red Heart Supersaver yarn. The other was made with I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby. If you have experience with Red Heart Supersaver, you know that the thickness of the yarn is NOT consistent. Some colors tend to be thicker, especially the white and black. I will give you the instructions for each different yarn.

I used these particular yarns because they are very easy to find and purchase. Red Heart can be found at your local WalMart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Hancock Fabrics. "I Love This Yarn" is found at Hobby Lobby and can also be ordered online.

If you are using a different type of yarn, just measure as you go!

Instructions:

F Hook Red Heart Supersaver BLACK (thicker) - CH 74. SC in the second chain from the hook and then across the row. CH 1 and turn. SC across the next row. Continue to do this until you reach 28 rows.

Fold the piece in half and then SC the sides together. Tie off and weave in the ends.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Heart Supersaver BURNT ORANGE (thinner) - CH 80. SC in the second chain from the hook and then across the row. CH 1 and turn. SC across the next row. Continue to do this until you reach 32 rows.

Fold the piece in half and then SC the sides together. Tie off and weave in the ends.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- I Love This Yarn (all colors) - CH 76. SC in the second chain from the hook and then across the row. CH 1 and turn. SC across the next row. Continue to do this until you reach 30 rows.

Fold the piece in half and then SC the sides together. Tie off and weave in the ends.

Now for the fun part. Add embellishments! There are so many things you can add to spruce up and individualize these cases. Here are a couple of patterns to get you started:

Owl Applique:

R1 — SC six times in the second chain from hook. Join with a SS at the end (6 stitches)

Feet :

Working in back loops.

Using yellow yarn, attach yarn in the ninth chain (count down from the owl's left ear).

CH 3 and SS in the same stitch. Tie off. Skip one stitch and repeat the same steps.

Beak :

Using yellow yarn and a tapestry needle, sew on the owl beak. Or, you can use a small piece of yellow felt.

Finishing :

Sew on the eyes and wings using a needle and thread. Secure all of your loose ends to the back of the owl and sew the entire piece onto the case.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Flower :

CH 2 and SC six times in the first chain. Join with a SS.

(CH 3, skip a stitch and SS in the next stitch) four times. This will give you four CH 3 spaces around the ring.

Working in the CH 3 spaces, SC, DC five times, SC in each CH 3 space. At the end, join with a SS.

Tie off and secure your yarn on the back of the flower. Add a button if you wish. Sew the flower onto the case with a needle and thread.

I hope you enjoy making a new case for your tablet. These are also great for gift giving!!

Happy Hooking.

The hands behind the hook

I've been crocheting since I was 7 years old. What started as a hobby in 2006 turned into Poochie Baby — first selling on eBay, then Etsy, and now in my own little Poochie Baby shop.

Whether you're picking up a hook for the very first time or you've been crocheting forever, there's a chair pulled up for you here.

Learn to Crochet

Basic and foundational crochet stitches — the very stitches nearly every pattern is built from, one friendly video at a time.

start at the very beginning…

Do you want to learn to crochet?

Many years ago I made a set of instructional videos for my YouTube channel. Even though these videos are older now, crochet techniques don't change — everything in them still works exactly the same today.

Before you pick up a hook

When you're first learning, I recommend a cheap, sturdy yarn. Specialty yarn takes some experience, because you first need to get the feel of tension and gauge. The yarn I'd reach for while learning is Red Heart Super Saver — easy to find at your local Walmart, Michaels, or on Amazon.

For hooks, I recommend Clover Hooks. Believe me — your hands and wrists will thank me for this.
