knit phone cozy

After completing my Crochet iphone cozy, and making a couple more for friends, I decided I wanted to create a Knitted one. I came up with this little pattern that is inspired by the dishcloths I’d been working up the past few weeks. (see earlier post)  I've written up a tutorial if you’d like to make one too.

What you’ll need:

Any worsted weight yarn

Size 4 or 5 knitting needles

Size E crochet hook

Tapestry Needle

I used cotton stria (50g/116yd worsted) and size 4 needles. Go ahead, bust some stash.

Body;

Using 1^st color of your choice, loosely cast on 24 stitches (you may need to adjust for your phone)

WS; Row 1 Knit

Row 2 Purl

Row 3 Knit, cut about a 6” tail

Change Color

*RS: Row 1 Knit

Row 2 Knit

Row 3 Purl

Row 4 Knit, cut a 6” tail*

Change Color and repeat the group of 4-rows for (8 more color changes)

Cast off loosely.

 Crochet edge

With right side facing and the color of your choice, *Slip stitch into first stitch of the cast off edge, (single crochet, chain 1, single crochet) into the next stitch, repeat from * across. Fasten off last stitch.

 Assembly

Fold piece in half with right sides together. Whip-stitch bottom and sides using matching colored tails as you move up the side (3-4 stitches per color).  Tie off each set of color tails into a knot and snip to approx. ½” from knot. Turn right side out to complete.  Add crochet flower if you wish and Enjoy!
