Day 17 in the 24-simple advent patterns: Raspberry Kindle cover
Today’s pattern sends me right back to my first kindle!
This cover was created to protect it from my daughter. She was a 9-months old baby with a passion for throwing electronic devices! So, shortly after I got my Kindle I had to make a cover for it and I opted for one very simple.

About
The main stitch of my knitted Kindle cover is the Raspberry stitch, also called the Trinity Stitch or Blackberry stitch. It is a textured bobble stitch with staggered bunches of stitches that resemble a raspberry bush.
The Raspberry Kindle cover is worked in flat in one piece.
You need to know how to knit, purl, basic increase, and decrease.
The instructions are written in standard American terms. The pdf features photo support.
