Wool is such an amazing fiber. For centuries it has been used not only for clothing but for insulation and padding. This laptop cozy begins with a garter stitch rectangle. Using a circular needle, stitches are picked up at all four sides and rounds of garter stitch are worked in different colors to create stripes. Then the Fair Isle fun begins with a graphic pattern for the central section of the cozy. A striped border is added. Stitches are bound off leaving just enough to create a flap that is worked back and forth. Once the piece is complete, it is run through a washing machine in a hot wash and cold rinse until it shrinks to the desired size. The extra bonus is that besides insulating, it also will protect a laptop somewhat in a tumble. Attach a closure of your choice -- buttons and loops, snaps, or velcro.

This design was originally published in my book Color By Kristin by Sixth and Spring in 2009.

Personalize your laptop cozy by choosing your own Fair Isle body pattern from the 240 different Fair Isle charts in my Color by Kristin eBook. The eBook includes lots and lots of instructions for beginning Fair Isle knitters along with 24 different edge treatments and over 240 Fair Isle charts.

Supplies: Two main colors of worsted weight yarn and 2 assorted contrasting colors of the same yarn for stripes.
