Use this roundup to choose the sleeve style you want, then open the linked step-by-step tutorial at the end of each section for full instructions.

Best yarn for a Kindle sleeve

Choose cotton, cotton blend, or smooth acrylic yarn so the sleeve has structure without becoming too bulky. Firm stitches help protect the device and keep the sleeve from stretching out.

Basic sizing rules

• Measure the Kindle with its case on if you use one.
• Add about half an inch of ease.
• Keep the fabric dense enough to protect the screen.
• Test the fit before final seaming.
