If anyone out there uses my nook case pattern, please let me know what you thought. I would love to feature some of your photos!

NOOK CASE---FREE PATTERN!

6MM HOOK

I USED RED HEART SUPER SAVER YARN

BUTTONS (OPTIONAL)

YARN NEEDLE

USES:  SINGLE CROCHET (SC)    SLIP STITCH (SL ST)   HALF-DOUBLE CROCHET (HDC)

THE REASON FOR THE CH  1 AND TURN, INSTEAD OF JUST WORKING IN THE ROUND IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET TO ROUND 5, YOU WILL BE WORKING BACK AND FORTH AND MY FIRST ATTEMPT LOOKED FUNNY BECAUSE THE STITCHES DID NOT BLEND TOGETHER (IF THAT MAKES SENSE LOL)

CH 18

ROUND 1:      SC IN 2^ND CH FROM HOOK, AND IN NEXT 15 CHS. 3SC IN LAST CH. TURN YOUR WORK SO THAT YOU ARE NOW WORKING ON THE BOTTOM SIDE IN THE REMAINING LOOPS OF YOUR STARTING CHAIN. SC IN NEXT 15 CHS, 2SC IN LAST CH. SL ST IN 1^ST SC. (36 SC)

ROUND 2:      CH 1, TURN. SC IN SAME SPACE AND IN NEXT 35 STS. SL ST TO 1^ST SC (36 SC)

ROUND 3:      REPEAT ROUND 2

NOW AT THIS POINT, YOU CAN FIT IT ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR NOOK TO ENSURE THAT IT WILL FIT COMFORTABLY, AS ALL OF US CROCHET DIFFERENTLY. IF YOU FIND IT TOO SNUG, FROG IT AND ADD A COUPLE CHAINS TO YOUR STARTING CHAIN. IF IT IS TOO LOOSE, IN ROUND 4 YOU CAN DO A COUPLE SC DECREASES ON EACH SIDE AND THAT SHOULD TIGHTEN IT UP, OR FROG IT AND START AGAIN WITH A COUPLE FEWER CHAINS.

ROUND 4:      REPEAT ROUND 2

ROUND 5:      NOW TURN (DON’T CH1) AND SL ST IN SAME ST, AND IN NEXT 2 STS, THEN CH 1 AND TURN.  SC IN SAME ST, AND IN NEXT 25 STS. LEAVE REMAINING 10 SC UNWORKED. (26 SC)
ROUND 6:      CH 1, TURN. SC IN SAME ST AND IN NEXT 25 STS. (26 SC)

ROUND 7-24:             REPEAT ROUND 6 UNTIL YOUR LAST ROUND REACHES THE TOP OF THE NOOK SCREEN, FOR ME THAT WAS AT ROUND 24. AT THE END OF ROUND 24, DO NOT CH 1, TURN. INSTEAD, CHAIN 10. THEN SL ST TO FAR SIDE OF LAST ROUND.

ROUND 25:    CH 1, TURN. SC IN SAME ST AND IN NEXT 10 CHS. SC IN LAST 25 STS. (36 SC)

ROUND 26:    CH 1, TURN. SC IN SAME ST AND IN NEXT 35 STS.

ROUND 27:    REPEAT ROUND 26

ROUND 28: REPEAT ROUND 26. FINISH OFF AND WEAVE IN END.

ATTACH YARN TO THE MIDDLE SC ON THE BOTTOM WITH A SL ST. SL ST AROUND THE OPENING, MAKING 3 OR 4 DECREASES ON THE LEFT SIDE AND 3 OR 4 DECREASES ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THUS TIGHTENING THE FRAME OPENING. FINISH OFF AND WEAVE IN ENDS!!!

OPTIONAL SCREEN COVERING: 

ROW 1:        WITH INSIDE FACING YOU, ATTACH YARN TO  RIGHT SIDE IN FRONT LOOP ONLY. SC (FRONT LOOPS ONLY) TO LEFT SIDE.
ROW 2:           CH 1, TURN. SC IN SAME ST AND IN EACH ST ACROSS.

ROW 3-24  :    REPEAT ROW 2

AT THE END OF ROW 24 FINISH OFF

FINISHING:  ATTACH YARN TO TOP LEFT CORNER. HDC AROUND. END OFF AND WEAVE IN ENDS. THEN ATTACH BUTTONS TO HOLD IT SHUT AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!
