Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight yarn in the following colors:

• Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the electric blue yarn, create a magic ring. This will form the base of your tablet cover.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 8 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. You should have 8 stitches.
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with sl st. You should have 16 stitches now.
4. Round 3: Ch 1, *sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. Join with sl st. You should have 24 stitches.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (adding 1 more sc before each increase) until the base reaches the width of your tablet. Measure as you go to ensure a perfect fit.
6. Switch to Deep Sea Black: Once the base is the correct size, change to deep sea black yarn.
7. Rounds 6-20: Ch 1, sc in each stitch around. Join with sl st at the end of each round. Repeat this for a total of 15 rounds to create the body of the cover.
8. Switch to Neon Green: Change to neon green yarn for the next section.
9. Round 21: Ch 1, *sc in the next 3 stitches, bobble stitch in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. Join with sl st. This round adds texture and mimics the glow of deep-sea organisms.
10. Rounds 22-25: Ch 1, sc in each stitch around. Join with sl st at the end of each round. Repeat for 4 rounds to finish the top section.
11. Finish Off: Fasten off your work and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
12. Add the Button Closure: Using electric blue yarn, sew a large decorative button shaped like a sea creature onto the cover for a whimsical touch. Position it so that it can easily secure the cover when folded over your tablet.
