This cozy cabled cover for your mini-laptop or “netbook” starts with Judy’s Magic Cast-On to create a gusset and then is worked in the round on two circular needles. The simple cable pattern radiates from the center and is suitable for beginners, as well as being a great first chart-reading project. The top is finished with applied i-cord to make installing the zipper a breeze. The piece can also be adapted to fit larger notebook computers or made slightly thinner to accommodate an e-reader or iPad. Special thanks to my friend Ilene, whose pullover with radiating cables was the inspiration for this design.
