Well, why not.
Sometimes we just want a project that is simple, straightforward and fun - and I think this cute little Kindle Sock manages to be all 3.
Knit using leftover sock yarn (fingering weight), it’s ideal for playing with colour or stripes or any kind of pattern you care to think of.
Essentially it is knit as a long tube, closed at both ends, you then fold it in half to create a simple, reversible pouch. The double layer of fabric giving some handy extra protection against accidental knocks whilst in your handbag.
And even better, the fact that the tube is closed means that you don’t even have to bother sewing in your yarn ends - they will safely be tucked away inside, free from prying eyes.
Because Kindles want to be cosy too.
This reversible pouch for your Kindle e-reader is worked in scrap sock weight yarn. You can have fun with colour whilst at the same time not worrying too much about weaving in your ends - they are all fully enclosed in the finished tube and no one will ever see them.
I knit this sample using the magic loop technique but it works with any method of small circumference knitting.
