About fragile (sleeve)
The perfect computer sleeve that is not only a stylish accessory but actually protects your computer. The sleeve becomes completely dense after felting. This sleeve fits a 13'' computer and measures approximately 32 x 23 cm. If you only want the pattern on one side of the sleeve, you can choose to follow only the specific part of the chart you desire.

About the pattern
The sleeve is crocheted flat in one piece using single crochet stitches, which are subsequently assembled and felted. At the end of each row, turn with 1 chain stitch (ch); this does not count as the first stitch of the next row.

About color changes and the color chart
I recommend being familiar with color changes and following a chart before starting this pattern.

Each square in the chart represents one stitch. I have used the Fair Isle technique, where the unused color (the passive color) is carried along the wrong side of the project (floats) until it is needed again. Complete the stitch before your color change with the next color in the chart, and let the passive color hang on the wrong side. Work the number of stitches shown in the chart, and again, complete the stitch before the next color change with the color indicated. Bring the passive color to the wrong side again. This way, you prevent the passive color from showing through the work.

The Tapestry technique can also be used, but be aware that the passive color may potentially be visible through the stitches.

Regardless of which technique you use, it is important that the passive color is not too tight. The work must not pucker or pull together as you go.
