3DS Carrying Case

Wow!  It's been a long time since I posted anything over here.  Sorry!  Anyway, I have a fresh new pattern to share with you guys!


3DS Carrying Case

Materials
WW Yarn in 2 colors
H hook
Carabiner



Back and Flap: In 1st color, ch 23


Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each across, ch 1, turn (22)
Row 2-18: Sc across, ch 1, turn (22)
Row 19: Dec, sc across to last 2, dec, ch 1, turn (20)

Row 24: Repeat Row 20 (16)
Row 25: Repeat Row 19 (14)
Row 26: Repeat Row 20 (14)

Row 28: Repeat Row 20 (12)
F/O, set aside for now.


Front: in 1st color, ch 23
Row 1-14: Repeat 1-14 of Back and Flap piece.  F/O, set aside for now.


Side Strip: In 1st color, ch 5
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each across, ch 1, turn (4)
Row 2-50: Sc across, ch 1, turn (4)


Carabiner Strap: In 1st color, ch 5
Row 1-10: Repeat Rows 1-10 of Side Strip.  F/O, set aside for now.
Side note: Make two of these if you want belt loops, instead.  You may have to make this part longer if you wear a wide belt.


Border/Putting it together:
This is a bit confusing, but I have photos to help you understand what I'm saying here.
In 2nd color, Sc the side strip to the front, F/O.




Repeat with Back starting at row 14. Then sc up the side of the flap, placing 2 sc in 1st coner, sc in next 2, tie down piece (ch 16, slst back down ch, slst back into stitch you chained from), sc until there's 2 sts left, tie down piece, sc in next st, 2sc in last stitch, sc back down flap, slst into 1sc of joining back and side.  F/O.








Now's a good time to go ahead and start weaving in ends.

In 2nd color, sc up both sides of Carabiner Strap, then sew onto one of the sides of the case.  If making belt loops, sew onto the back, neer the top and evenly spaced apart.

Last bit, I swear!

At two different points on the bottom trim of the front, join 2nd color, make a tie down piece, F/O, and weave in your ends.

Tada!  You're done!  Feel free to add velcro for extra closing power!
