Crochet 2DS Case

Batman 2DS Case

Good morning, tiny corner!  I have missed you.  Between my new job and studying, I haven't really had too much time for much (except for wasting my time on Pinterest.... sounds like I need to get my priorities straight!)  Anyways, finals are over, and "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas."

I promised a bit back that I was going to make my husband a case for his Nintendo 2DS that he got for his birthday. The case was super simple to put together, and didn't take very long.  I've actually had it completed for a while, but haven't gotten a chance to tell you about it.

I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in black and red, a size D crochet hook, and worked (for the most part) with double crochet stitches in the round.  How many did I initially chain?  Who knows?  I was constantly measuring my work against the handheld gaming system to see if it would be a good fit.  The logo is an attempt at the Batman symbol; I found the pattern here at Louie's Loops via Pinterest...but we all know I'm not very good at following patterns.

This was also my first attempt at adding a zipper to a crochet project.  It is really easy, though it would have been much easier if I had pinned it in instead of just trying to hold it in place with my fingers while I tried to avoid poking myself. Though as plain and simple as I may think it is, my wonderful husband loves it, and that's all that matters.

UPDATE

I know it's hardly a win at all for something so obscure, but this is the #1 hit on Google for "Crochet 2DS Case," and I think that's cool. Maybe I should come up with a pattern...
