I don’t know about you but I’m always feeling the retro vibes. However, I didn’t quite plan for it in this pattern. I merely decided on a very basic tapestry crochet design and found a few colors that really seemed to pop. While I was making it I realized how retro it was and found myself thinking about all the ways I could use this color pattern/design in other creations.

I think making your own tablet cover is the perfect way for crocheters to accessorize the techy things that they have. Like the Beachrock Tablet Cover, this one is basic and a great chance to play with color.

Follow along with the graph to crochet this chevron color pattern and be sure to read the Color Pattern Notes to best understand what to do. And as always, keep crocheting!

Color Pattern Notes
– Graph starts at Round 12, start from right to left (or vice versa if you are left handed) as with most graphs and reverse when you turn for the next round.
– The graph shows half the color pattern you will be doing for the entire cover. On each round, repeat the graph once more for the opposite side of the cover.
– White stands for color A, darkest gray stands for color B, and colors C and D follow.
– Be sure to carry your yarn along as you crochet for easy color changes
