Tablet "Sweater" Pattern

Look what I got!
Yep I got myself a tablet! 
This thing is the coolest gadget in the world but there was one problem,
my tablet needed some protection.
So I knitted my tablet it's very own little "sweater", pretty cool huh?
Want to make your own? 
This project is relatively easy and a great beginner cable project that whips up in no time.
This pattern is based off the measurements of my Samsung Note Tablet
which is roughly 10"x 7"
It would be relatively easy to size this pattern up or down by adding or subtracting stitches in the knit sections of this pattern.

  small amount of fabric for lining
