Looking for a fun and functional gift idea? Try this free crochet tablet holder pattern—a colorful, quick make case that fits most 10.9″ to 11″ tablets (finished size ≈ 9″ × 10″). You can easily personalize the colors for the recipient and create something unique.
What You’ll Need:
- I’ve used a few different colors of Wool Ease Thick and Quick Yarn.
- A size N crochet hook
- A button and matching yarn for the loop closure.
- Scissors.
With this pattern you’ll make two rectangular panels (front & back), assemble them together, and add a button loop closure. It’s simple enough for a confident beginner and quick enough for a weekend project.
I kept the back panel a solid color and turned the front panel into a cheerful rainbow stripes by switching colors every two rows. Feel free to customize the colors however you like: solid back, multi-stripe front, contrasting join color.
free crochet tablet Holder Tutorial:
If you’re new to crochet or just need a quick refresher, this pattern uses only simple beginner-friendly stitches: the chain (ch), the single crochet (sc), and the basic stitch (st) repeats. I have easy step-by-step tutorials for all of these on the blog, so feel free to brush up on how to chain in crochet, and how to single crochet for beginners. These basics are all you need to make this entire crochet tablet holder from start to finish!
How to Crochet the Tablet Holder
1. Make the Front and Back Panels
- For the back panel, chain 26. Work the moss stitch for 26 rows in a single color.
The result is a sturdy, cushiony rectangle that forms the back of your case. - For the front panel, chain 26. Work the moss stitch for 26 rows, changing colors every two rows for that fun striped look. You can use yarn scraps, a coordinated palette, or full rainbow stripe!
2. Assemble Your Crochet Tablet Holder
- Lay the front and back panels together with the right sides facing out.
- Using a contrasting yarn, single crochet around three sides (left, bottom, right)
- Leave the top open to slide the tablet in and out.
I used a bright pink yarn for joining because it made the edges pop.
3. Add the Button Loop
- On the top back edge, attach your yarn with a slip stitch.
- Chain about 20 (adjust depending on the size of your button).
- Slip stitch back into the starting spot to form a loop.
- Sew the button onto the front panel so the loop fits snugly around it.
And just like that—your crochet tablet holder stays securely closed!

Finished Size
The finished crochet tablet holder measures about 9″ × 10″, which fits most 10.9″ and 11″ tablets comfortably. If your device is larger or smaller, you can easily tweak the starting chain or add a few extra rows.
If you are crocheting handmade things as gifts, you can also make this co ordinating Free Crochet Pouch Pattern. which will be a matching set for their headphones or lip gloss!
These are both great super bulky 6 yarn ideas, and the thick yarn works up quickly making it perfect for a last minute handmade gift idea. The moss stitch adds such lovely texture, and the bulky yarn gives the case natural padding to help protect your tablet. Plus, it’s a fantastic stash-buster if you want to mix and match leftover yarn.

Had a wonderful time creating this case. It was so easy to follow along, made a case for my Kindle and iPad. Used my leftover yarn.
Lovely!
