Crochet iPad cover

My lovely DH bought me an iPad for my birthday & I finally took delivery of it last Thursday - I don't care what anyone says its a great little gadget.  We have barely put it down since I got it.

Rather than get one of those dull, shop bought, commercial, everyone has one, covers I thought I'd just make my own :)  What's the point of being able to make things if I don't make myself something now and again?

Crochet iPad Cover

Being every so slightly ironic I decided to go retro on the colours and use brown and yellow.  The front is a yellow apple on a brown background and the back is reversed.  I made up the pattern to create the apple image, so its not quite 100% but I guess its close enough.

Its closed over with a little tab and button.  The cover is made with 100% cotton DK yarn, so its not scratchy and its pretty thick without being bulky.

This particular one is to keep my personal iPad cozy & protected.  I plan to come up with other designs to make some more.
