Crochet Laptop Case

SHARE or PIN this post to your Crochet Board for later!

I have made a few crochet laptop cases in the past, but this time, I wanted to share the pattern with you! I love this pattern because of its simplicity, modern look, and stitch thickness, which will provide protection for your laptop.

Feel free to adjust this pattern by using just one colour or adding more stripes in one or multiple colours – there are plenty of ways to customize your crochet laptop case and make it look unique!

This pattern is very simple, and it’s also quick and easy to work up. You could easily make one in just one day. Once you have a few rounds – it’s Puff Stitches all the way!

For the most part, it is just one stitch (Puff Stitch) all the way throughout the pattern. If you’re trying this stitch for the first time, it can be a little fiddly as you have to pull through 9 loops to make a puff stitch. Make sure your tension is not too tight, and pull all the loops quite tall so the hook can glide through all 9 loops without getting caught.

I’m using Moda Vera Starlight yarn for this project, which is 100% acrylic and light worsted weight. It’s super soft and really easy to work with. I especially love the color—it’s hard to capture in photos, but it has this subtle green sparkle that doesn’t quite show up in pictures. I love how it reflects the sunlight!

You can use any type of yarn in any colour. You’ll need to adjust the size of your crochet hook if you use a different-weight yarn. You can find the recommended size on the yarn label.

Special Stitches

Puff Stitch: Yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, and pull up a long loop (about the height of a double crochet). *Yarn over again, insert the hook into the same stitch and pull up another long loop. Repeat from * two more times, so that you yarn over and pull up a loop four times in total into the same stitch. For a visual guide, refer to the video demonstration below.

Puff stitches vary in how thick or ‘puffy’ they are, depending on the pattern. So the number of times you yarn over and pull up a loop into the same stitch can vary. You can make the stitches puffier or slimmer by adjusting the number of times you yarn over & pull up a loop.

Take a look at my Crochet Shawl/Wrap, where I used a combination of puff stitches and double crochet stitches to create a beautiful, lacy look.

Difficulty

Easy (Advanced Beginner-Intermediate)

If you already have some crochet experience and know how to do the basic stitches, then you’ll have no problem with this pattern!

Material

Hook: 3mm

Gauge

10 puff stitches x 13 rows = 4″ (10cm)

Note

This pattern is for a Surface Pro laptop. Adjust the number of chains and rows to fit the width and length of your laptop.

The initial amount of chains will depend on the type of yarn you’re using. Cotton yarn tends not to stretch as much as acrylic.

Dimensions

Laptop Dimensions (Surface Pro): width 20cm (8”) and length 29cm (11.5”)

Crochet Sleeve finished size: width 21.5cm (8.5”) and length 32cm (12.5”)

Abbreviations

Ch = chain

SC = single crochet

HDC = half double crochet

St = stitch

Sl st = slip stitch

Pf st = Puff Stitch: Yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, and pull up a long loop (about the height of a double crochet). *Yarn over again, insert the hook into the same stitch and pull up another long loop. Repeat from * two more times, so that you yarn over and pull up a loop four times in total into the same stitch. For a visual guide, refer to the video demonstration below.

Refer to the video demonstration below. Note that I’m demonstrating the stitches and all the tips for starting the rows and joining rows on a smaller example, which is not the actual size of the laptop case. This is just for demonstration purposes 🙂

Ch 44 (or any even number if you need to make it bigger)

Row 1: HDC in the second chain from hook and across, turn (total 43)

Note: It may look a little shorter than your laptop’s width in the beginning, as you can see in the photo below. But it should stretch as you continue with the next rows (that is if you used the same type of yarn as me). It may not stretch if you’re using a cotton or cotton blend yarn.

When you finish the first row, try stretching it to match the width of your laptop. If it’s not stretching enough, you’ll need to add more chains.

Row 2: Do not chain as you normally would at the beginning of a new row. Instead, stretch the loop on your hook a bit longer (to the height of a double crochet). To create the first Puff Stitch: Yarn over, insert your hook into the first stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop (three loops on hook). *Yarn over, insert into the same St, yarn over and pull up another loop (five loops on hook). Repeat from * two more times. You’ll have 9 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 9 loops on your hook. Ch 1 to complete the puff stitch. Skip 1 stitch, work a Puff Stitch in the next stitch, and repeat until you reach the end of the row. (Check out the video demonstration below for detailed instructions on making puff stitches.

Working in rounds from this row onwards, rotate and keep working on the other side of the chain. Work a Pf St in the first chain, *skip 1, Pf St in next *until the end of the row, Sl St (Total 42 Pf st).

Round 3: Stretch the loop on your hook and work the first Pf St in the gap between the puff stitches in the previous row, behind the loop on the hook (refer to video) and in each gap across. Sl St.

Crochet Laptop Case – Puff Stitches – short video demonstration

For demonstration purposes, I’m using a smaller size to demonstrate all the stitches. This is not the actual size of the laptop case 🙂

Row 4-43: repeat row 3

Note: Switch to contrasting colour in rows 26 and 28

Row 44 (final row): Ch 1, SC in next St and across the round. Connect round with a slip stitch, fasten off and weave in all ends.

Note: As you work through the pattern, you may notice the start of each row shifting slightly towards the middle. This is intentional due to the design, and there won’t be a visible seam, so no need to worry! By the time you reach the final row (row 44), it will likely begin around the middle of the sleeve. Simply finish off and weave in the ends. All done!

I didn’t find a button or zipper necessary, as the case has a snug fit and keeps the laptop secure, even when I turn it upside down. However, if yours feels a bit loose, you can easily add a button and make a loop, just like I did in my Crochet Clutch pattern.

I hope you had fun making this crochet laptop case! I’d love to hear how it turned out for you, so feel free to share in the comments 🙂
