Crochet Kindle Sleeve Pattern (With Video Tutorial)

If you want a cute sleeve for your kindle so you can take it on the go with you to keep it protected, this is the crochet pattern for you! I made this crochet kindle sleeve for my Kindle Colorsoft but I have added notes to the pattern so you can make it for the device you have. BONUS! I added a video tutorial so you can follow the pattern step by step.

If you are both a kindle and physical book kind of reader – I also have a book sleeve pattern that you can find here. I love reading both and having the crochet covers add such a cozy touch even when I’m not necessarily bringing the books anywhere. 

You can technically also use this kindle sleeve pattern for a physical book as well by following the notes for modifications in the pattern below. Not all books are the same size but I’m sure you have many laying around and can make a sleeve with the dimensions that are right for your books!

Yarn + Materials for Kindle Sleeve

For this pattern, I used worsted weight acrylic yarn. Acrylic yarn gives a more bouncy texture vs cotton and I think it is better suited for a kindle sleeve where you want a bit of padding to protect your device. Plus, I’m sure most of us have this yarn in our stash!

For the closure, I used a 1″ button. You will also need a needle and thread to attach this button to the sleeve.

Materials

Worsted weight yarn

6.5mm crochet hook

1” Button (needle and thread to attach)

Tapestry needle + Scissors

Notes

You will turn your work after each round.

Beginning chain of each round does not count as a stitch.

A stitch marker may be helpful to use to mark the first stitch of each round.

To make the sleeve wider, add to the beginning chain in multiples of 2.

To make the sleeve longer, continue to add rows by repeating Row 4.

Bean Stitch: insert hook into st, YO, pull up a loop, *YO, insert hook into same st, YO, pull up a loop, repeat from * one more time, pull through all 6 loops on your hook, ch 1

Ch = chain, sc = single crochet, sk = skip, st = stitch, YO = yarn over

Row 22: Ch 1, fold sleeve in half to close up the bottom, sc together both sides all the way across (see photo 4)

Assembly

Sew on button 6 rows down from the opening of the sleeve.

Flip the sleeve over and attach yarn to the top edge of the sleeve in the center, ch 20, attach one stitch over, fasten off and weave in ends. This will create the loop/closure to go around the button. (See photo 5)
