Crocheted DS Cozy Pattern on Etsy

You know how cozy afghans are. Well, how about making a cozy crochet case for your Nintendo DS Lite? Crocheting is fun, fairly fast and not very hard once you learn a few basic stitches. If you want to try your hand at crocheting a case for your DS Lite, there are a handful of patterns to be found online. Even if you’re not an advanced crocheter, you can also experiment with your own design, doing something as simple as making rows of half double crochet stitches, perhaps with a size E or F hook, and then stitching the piece together to form a pocket or sleeve with a simple closure.

“Fruppi” crocheted a Nintendo DS Lite case for the Lion Yarn Challenge and even added little crocheted mushrooms. Super cute! You can see the results and pattern on Instructables. She included little pockets to hold DS games and there’s even a pattern for the mushroom.

There are several already-made, handcrafted crochet Nintendo DS cases available for purchase on Etsy, but one seller, celiaescuela, offers a crochet pattern for a DS Lite cozy (pictured). It’s $5 and comes in printable, PDF form. Her example is pink, with scalloped edges and flowers added to the closures.
