Elsie iPad Cosy

Elsie iPad Cosy by Jo Bodley

A great project for crochet beginners – felting can be great fun, but the results are not always what you’d expect!

MATERIALS
● SMC Wash + Filz-it! Fine, 100% wool, 50g/100m/109yds
Yarn A: Mango 104 x 1 ball
Yarn B: Blanket Charcoal 120 x 1 ball
Yarn C: White 102 x 1 ball
Yarn D: Cherry 127 x 2 balls
● 5mm hook
● Lining fabric, four times larger than iPad (optional)
● Padding (optional)

YARN ALTERNATIVES
Any DK to aran weight feltable wool will work well for this design.

TENSION
We recommend that you make one complete granny square and test felt it first, in a mesh bag. Using recommended yarn, granny square should measure approximately 13 x 13cm/5 x 5in before felting. After felting it should measure approximately 10 x 10cm/4 x 4in.

MEASUREMENTS
After felting, cosy measures approximately 30 x 20cm/ 11¾ x 7¾in.
