e-Reader crochet Pattern with handle

Step by step tutorial for an e-Reader or tablet crochet pattern with handle.

I've been planning on adding this pattern to my collection and here it is.  It's very simple and perfect for beginners. I shot a video on how this pattern is done.

Below is the pattern in text

1.  begin with a slip knot
2.  chain 38
3.  form a circle with the 38 chain by connecting the ends with a slip stitch

Row 1 -  is a row of single crochet in each stitch.  completing the row with a slip stitch
Row 2 - is a row of double crochet in each stitch.  completing the row again with a slip stitch to form the circle

Row 3 - this is where you begin with a different color yarn.
draw in new yarn.  chain one and complete this row with single crochet in each stitch.  slip stitch again at the end of the row.

Row 4 - drop the white yarn and pick the purple and this row is a row of double crochet.

Row 5 - drop purple yarn and pick up the white yarn and this row is a row of single crochet.

Repeat row 4 and 5 until you have 6 rows of purple and 6 row of white.  this measurement is for Nook Simple Touch e-reader or Kindle Touch.  for any of the 7" tablet, you have to add additional rows but they have the same width.

Loop for a Button
on your last row, chain 2, sc in the next 9 stitches,
chain 18 and slip stitch in the same stitch that you began the loop.
continue to single crochet till end of row.  slip stitch once again to complete this row

Handles
chain 2, single crochet in the next 4 stitches, chain 18
