In this instructable, I will show you how to knit a Star Trek kindle cover.

Let's begin with supplies and materials.

Supplies:

Size 5 circular needles. I used Knitpicks interchangeables. (They happen to be on sale right now)
Scissors
Darning needle

Materials:

Knitpicks worsted weight yarn (creme brulee)
Knitpicks worsted weight yarn (black)
Black felt
Liquid Stitch fabric glue

Please note that these are just the exact supplies that I used. Please feel free to use any yarn you like and just customize to the size of your Kindle or other device.

Also, I made this isntructable with a standard Kindle in mind. If your device is larger or smaller, you will need to make adjustments as necessary.

Step 1: Cast on and Knit Up

I knit this cover as if I were doing toe-up socks, using Judy's Magic Cast On (fantastic method in case you are not familiar with it)

Cast on 20 stitches (20 stitches on each needle)
Begin working in the round, one knit stitch in each stitch around
Continue until the case covers all but about 1" of the Kindle.

Step 2: Change to Black and Make Ribbing

At this point, change to your black yarn.

Knit one row in black
Knit 2, Purl 2 for the next 5 rows (or until you reach the desired height.

Time to bind off....

Step 3: Bind Off the Black

Time to bind off!

A stretchy bind off is not required for this project. Just do a normal bind off.
Knit the first two stitches, then pull the first stitch over the second and off the needle
Purl the next stitch and slip the knit stitch from your working needle over the purled one and off the needle.
Purl the next stitch and slip the first purl stitch over this one and off the needle
Repeat this process until you are finished binding off.
Be sure to knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches.

Step 4: Attach the Logo

Download the image of the Star Trek logo here and print to size. I printed it out at 1.5" tall.

Cut out your printing
Hold it to the felt and cut around it
Trim up your felt as necessary for a nice clean look
Affix the logo with fabric glue (do not do this with the Kindle in the case as glue could seep through onto it)

Step 5: All Done!

Let the glue dry for a few hours to make sure the logo doesn't come off and to make sure you don't get glue on your Kindle.

I wish you luck in your own projects, and as always, if there is anything I can do to help, please ask!
