I propose to knit an original case for electronic media as a gift. In addition to pleasant impressions, a person will receive a useful thing to prevent damage to the flash drive when dropped or exposed to low temperatures.
To work you will need: a flash drive, a ruler, a hook and thread.
The proposed model uses “Iris” cotton threads, but if desired and possible, you can use any.
Before knitting, you should measure the length and width of the flash drive. Knit a chain of 25 chain stitches, one and a half times longer than the length of the flash drive itself.
Next, you need to knit the first row with single crochets, and perform 3 stitches in the last chain stitch.
Then, without turning the product, we continue to knit stitches in a circle, sticking the hook into the air loops of the chain.
In the last loop we knit 3 single crochets. We proceed to the second row without a lifting air loop. Now we knit single crochets all the time in a circle without adding 11-12 rows so that the flash drive placed inside is completely hidden inside.
This produces a small bag with a height of about 2.5 centimeters.
Next, we connect both sides and knit a common row of single crochets, inserting the hook into two loops of the stitches in the previous rows.
We do not tie the connecting row to the end by 2 cm - a distance equal to the width of the flash drive, so that it can freely enter and exit the case. We pass the thread through the last loop and tighten. We pull the thread inside out with a crochet hook, fasten it and cut off the end.
For reliability, I recommend attaching the flash drive to the case. This way you don’t have to worry about losing the case and can comfortably wear it on your hand or neck.
You need to tie a string. To make it stronger, you need to knit it in two threads. To do this, you should unwind, without tearing it from the ball, a thread four times longer than the required lace. Then knit a chain of air loops of the required length with a double-folded thread.
When the lace is ready, we thread it through a special hole on the flash drive.
Turn the cover inside out and thread the lace through the bottom of the cover using a hook.
We straighten the lace and tie its ends together.
Turn the case right side out and twist the lace so that the knot is inside and not visible.
We pull out the entire lace through the side loop at the bottom of the case, while placing the flash drive in the case.
