Introduction: Vintage Fan Ripple Crochet IPad Cover

About: A Software Engineer. I love learning new things. Hooked up with Instructables. It is the biggest find I ever made. :D Cooking and Crochet are my passion. I love to learn different techniques and cuisines.

It's a basic ripple and fan stitch. It is simple and elegant cover. With this pattern you can make a crochet cover for any phone and tab. The feather and fan lace stitch is a standard lace pattern and creates the illusion of alternating waves. I wanted a cover for my iPad and came across this pattern. I loved the waves and the ripple effect.
