So cute!!! I'd love to get some of that yarn! I love that pink to gray gradient! 😍 I'll have to look into that. I love cotton and I love polyester, and the combination of both. And it's recycled which I've been trying to do more of lately. Thanks Anja for another fantastic project to add to my ever growing list! ❤️

I know right? My daughter is over in England right now! I'm going to ask her to hunt this brand down and pick some up for me. I don't know how much of anything you can but over there before customs makes you pay some kind of export fee on it, I'll have to ask other to ask around about that. I think there is a base limit for goods brought out. But I am definitely going to ask her to grab me some for me yarn stash.
Hi Anja! This would make a great gift for someone who has everything but doesn’t have this!! 🥰

What a beautiful name over 20+years ago thanks for sharing beautiful. I am making it as a gift thanks
Looks great. I might use a button closure, because my curious kitties love to play with strings! 🧶 I wish I had that yarn, it's so pretty. I might use a lion brand twisted cotton cake instead. 💚❤️

Oooh, I've got a TON of the twisted cotton. That's a good idea.
I've been crocheting for about a year now and have always been confused by what the point of crocheting "in the round" is, and stuck to crocheting in rows. Thank you for showing and explaining so clearly!

If I'm making it for an ipad which would be thinner than a laptop, how do I reduce the size of the base?
hi! I am interested in the yarn you used, but I don't know how to buy it.....can you help me please?
Hi Anja! What's the model of your laptop? ❤️🥰

Good day Ophelia, I'm still struggling to grasp the corners. After the first two rows / circles (if I may put it that way), do I follow the the same instructions at every turn for the complete work - e.g. s stitch in the third loop; chain one and then half double crochet in the following until you get to the other end?

Thank you Hippie, glad you enjoyed the video, Anja x
Great tutorial! I think I am missing something though.. So after the base is complete and we have to crochet all the way through, do I still make the slip stitch on two corners or only in one? Because I've been doing it on both ends and I think something is wrong :)

cansurendeci251, you only need a slip stitch at the end of the round, to close up, not sure how you're putting one in the other end!! Good luck, Anja x
Hi Anja. Where did you get the James C Brett retwist yarn from? I'm in the UK and have searched The Wool Warehouse and others and Amazon and can't seem to find it ?😂 xx

Hello :) Thank you for your help, I'm a beginner but your explanations are very clear so I can follow easily :) I have a question tho... do I have to do this trick ( 11:41 ) every time I go around a corner as it goes up? I don't know if I'm making myself clear. Or should I continue with basic double crochet, ignoring the corners?

hello, what if I have a thicker laptop, then I should make 2 single stitches as the base?
@jellybean4562
10 ай бұрын
i think that could work but i suggest using a either half double stitch or double crochet stitch instead and then working from there. You can even use treble stitch if its thick enough. I used half double for my chromebook and it worked great.
If I used HDC for the base, do I continue using HDC when I start the sides or do I upgrade to DC since I already used HDC for the base?

hello, thank you for the tutorial! I am trying to follow the exact tutorial but my edges (the one where we need to skip two and do the slip stitch) are tapering. the number of stitches seem to be getting lesser. anyway I can fix this?

Sam, sadly the only way to really 'fix' it is to frog it back to where you have the right amount of stitches, and make sure you keep a count, every row. The pattern/tutorial is correct as many people have made it successfully, please try again. Thanks, Anja x

I"ve followed along and made a perfect back BUT when I reach the last row, I did not end at the corner because the slip stitch to connect made it like I created a design of half triangle hence I'm not able to make the flap haha.

4mm hook equals what size e,f,g,h,I, j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,. What kind of yarns Anja. How's your parents doing and feeling? How is princess Layla?,where is she? When you get to make the single chrochets, do you make them all the stitches in the same pace.

A 4mm hook is a G Susan. I nearly always use Stylecraft Special DK (SSDK) these days, it has a wonderful range of 100 colours, it's great quality, and wears extremely well, I cannot fault it, BUT, in this video I'm using a ReTwisst Chainy Cotton Cake I had in my stash. Yes, the 6 SC go in the same chain, you are correct. I hope this helps Susan, enjoy, Anja x
