But the cover is necessary, because the book must be protected from dust, dirt, pressure or shock. It is not difficult to knit a cover; the yarn costs are small. Let's analyze the technique of knitting one of the possible options for an e-book cover. Knitting technology

Knitting requires the height and width of the book. General tips:
  • yarn is better to choose thick enough
  • the pattern should be tight and not stretch,
  • it’s better to use yarn of the same color so as not to mess with the tails of colored threads,
  • immediately you need to determine the method of closing the cover (zipper, buttons, Velcro, etc.),
  • do not use convex solid additions so that there is no pressure on the screen. If you want to somehow decorate a book, for example, for a child, then on the cover you can make a bright applique.

  • finish knitting the cover with 2-3 rows of garter stitch for the convenience of the fastener design,
  • we sew or glue the gasket to protect the book from pressure or shock on the inside of the cover. You can use a synthetic winterizer, thin foam rubber or even fur with a short pile.

    An intricate little thing turned out, and very pretty. Although for gadgets I still prefer purchased cases, they are more practical. But for crochet hooks I have about such a man-made "house".
