Crochet:
Note: The bag is crocheted with double strands of Alma. You can use two strands of the same color, or combine 2 different colors.
The rounds are crocheted in individual rounds and not in a spiral. To finish each round, you make a Sl St in the first St you crocheted in the round, then a Ch to get to height for the new round. (Image 1-3) This setup starts from R2 onwards.
There are instructions on how to adapt the pattern to your own size. The written pattern is suitable for a MacBook Pro 16-inch.
R1. Start with a slip knot and then make 22 Ch. The last Ch counts as a turning chain, skip it and start crocheting in the second St from the hook in the next R. (22)
For custom size: Make a chain of Ch as long as your laptop (Image 4)
R2. On the first side of the chain ⭢ 20SC, 3SC in the same St, on the other side of the chain ⭢ 20SC, 3SC in the same St (46)
For custom size: Make SC along the chain until you only have one St left. In the last St on the chain, make 3 SC in the same St. Repeat on the other side of the chain.
R3-34. (32 rounds) 46SC around (46)
For custom size: Make as many rounds as you need to achieve the desired length.
Secure all loose ends carefully with a tapestry needle, then the sleeve is finished!
