Soft data


For treasurus papers, or treasurus moments, or for worn out folders, knit a special cover. I made this cover for P that was in need of a soft environment for her soft data. I measured the cover and made a test knit with the yarn and pattern. Then it is simple mathematics to figure out how many stitches that are needed to cover the folder, with the addition of a fold to keep it in place. I decided to make a rib stitch cover and to do the fold in gather stitch. After working in ribs for a while, I couldn't help but to make some cables... The cables made the piece a bit smaller than with only ribs, so I had to glue the cover in place. My original idea was to make the cover removable. The last touch was a P in linnen with a lace edge that I sew in place with some pretty leftover yarn.
