Herringbone Tablet Cover – Free Crochet Pattern

Herringbone Tablet Cover - Free Crochet Pattern | www.thestitchinmommy.com

A couple of weeks ago, I received a package of stunning yarns to sample from Wool and the Gang. I was so excited and couldn’t wait to start creating beautiful projects. My first project is this simple but gorgeous Herringbone Tablet Cover using Mixtape Yarn from Wool and the Gang. It holds an 8 inch tablet such as an iPad Mini. It is easily adjustable for smaller or larger tablets as well. I hope you enjoy my review of the Mixtape Yarn and the pattern! Happy Crocheting!

Wool and the Gang Mixtape Yarn:

Mixtape yarn is a gorgeous jumbo yarn that is a cotton and polyester blend. It is made from upcycled t-shirts which is really cool. Here is what you will find on the label:

Fibres: 80% cotton 20% polyester
Yardage/Weight: 130 metres (142 yards) per 250 gram roll
Average tension: 10.5 stitches + 15 rows per 10 cm / 4 “
Suggested knitting needles: 8mm – 15mm (US11-19)
Suggested crochet hook: 6.5mm – 8mm
Weight: JUMBO | 3.5 wpi

This yarn is great to work with since it is thick and works up quickly. I was able to complete my project in just about 2 hours. The yarn has a slight stretch to it, which makes it very forgiving. Mixtape comes in several colors so you can create fun, colorful projects.  Mixtape yarn is great for items around the house, bags, and other accessories. It’s a sturdy yarn so it can stand up to every day use. I really enjoyed working with it and hope to create some other fun projects using Mixtape in the future!
