CROCHET LAPTOP CASES

This 100% cotton laptop case is a quick and easy project that is not only useful, but makes a great gift as well!  It's also a great way to use up all those small leftover scrap lengths of yarn!

Supplies Needed:

• 100 % Cotton Sugar'n Cream Yarn in any color(s) (quantity depends upon size of case)
• Size 7 (4.5 mm) Crochet Hook (check out how hook sizes vary)
• Yarn Needle
• Button (if adding the closure)

You need to measure your laptop case and determine how many base chain stitches you need.  Note that the case will, and should, fit tightly so that it is not easily able to slide or fall out!

• For the 15 inch laptop above (the beige case), I used 50 base chains.
• For the 13 inch laptop above (the multi-colored case), I used 40 base chains.  This fits my macbook pro perfectly!

To Make the 13 x 9 Inch Laptop Case:

• Bottom: Chain 41.  Do one single crochet (sc) in the second stitch from hook and in the next 38 stitches.  In the 40th stitch, do 4 single crochets and then work your way around the other side by doing one sc inch of the next 39 stitches.  In the 40th stitch, do 3 single crochets.  Connect with slip stitch. You should have created an oval base with 84 total stitches.  See the pictures below.

This shows one side of the base crocheted. I am about to go around the end and crochet the other side.

This is the base (bottom) of the case.

• Row 1: Chain 1 and single crochet in each of 84 stitches around.  Connect with slip stitch.
• Rows 2 - 36: Repeat row 1. Change colors if and as desired.

Create The Handle:

• ​Row 37: Chain 1 and single crochet in each of the next 14 stitches, then chain 18, skip 14 stitches and single crochet into the 15th stitch.  Do one sc in each of the next 27 stitches.  Chain 18, skip 14 stitches, and single crochet into the 15th stitch from hook.  Single crochet into the next 13 stitches and connect with slip stitch.
• Row 38: Chain 1 and single crochet in each of the next 14 stitches, then single crochet 20 stitches into the handle loop you created in row 37, then single crochet into each of the next 28 stitches, sc 20 times into the second hand loop, and then single crochet into each of the next 14 stitches. Slip stitch to connect (should be a total of 96 sc).
• Row 39: Chain 1 and sc into each of the 96 stitches around. Slip stitch to connect.
• Rows 40 - 41: Repeat row 39.  Knot off at the end.

​
Finish by using the yarn needle to weave all loose ends into the work.

Create the Strap/Button Closure (If desired):

• Row 1:  Create a loop and use a slip stitch to connect to the 5th stitch from the right side of the handle along the back of the case (You have 14 stitches in the handle loop, count 5 stitches in from either side).  Single crochet into each of the next 5 stitches (total of 6).
• Row 2: Chain 1, do six single crochets.
• Rows 3 - 6: Repeat row 2 (you may need more rows depending upon the size of the laptop).
• Row 4: Create the button hole by sc into the first stitch, then make 4 chains, then sc in the last stitch.
• Row 5: Single crochet in the first stitch, then do 4 sc into the loop for the button hole, then sc in the last stitch.  Finish off with a knot.

Finish by weaving all loose ends into your work.
