NOTES
The Tablet Cover is worked using the amigurumi method. Work in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch. You may find it helpful to place a marker in the first st of each round and move it up as you work.
From Round 2, all stitches are worked in the back loops only (bl).
When changing colour, twist the ends of the two colours together. Pick up the new colour in the last yrh of the previous stitch. Always carry the yarns not in use across the WS of the work.
You will nd the Chart needed on page 93.
