Sleepy Owl Ipad Crochet Bag

I have been so busy these past weeks, I have a couple of patterns that need to be written and upload here so you can enjoy them.
Last Sunday was my daughter's birthday and I wanted to make something special for her other than baking her a cake. So I made her a bag for the Ipad she received. This bag was inspired by my owl headband I made a couple of weeks ago. I Hope you  enjoy this pattern.

 
 
 This Ipad bag is made to fit an Ipad with a cover case, it also has a fabric lining. The reason I used fabric is because I don't want the yarn to over stretch due to the weight of the ipad with the cover case.
Ok, here is the pattern...
 
Note: This pattern hasn't been tested. If you find any mistakes or problems with the pattern, feel free to contact me, I'll be glad to help you. You can use this pattern for your personal use, craft and other sales, but please do not share a copy of my work or claims as yours, instead share my page where they can find the pattern for free.
Thank you
