iPhone Knitted Cozy – Show The Love With Hearts!

Follow

I love my iphone!  I purchased the case for it, but I wanted a little more protection and a way to be able to instantly grab it out of my bag.  I have been working on a knitted project that seems no matter how much I knit it never gets longer, ugh!  So I wanted some instant gratification – something quick and easy.  I had made Stella an iPod cozy awhile back, so figured I could do the same for my iPhone – I didn’t like any of the patterns I found, so I made my own – I only had to rip it out twice – pretty good I think!

This looks like a really long pattern, which it is – but it took me less than 2 hours to finish and have my iPhone all snuggly!

Matching right sides together, sew up seams, weave in ends. I chose to sew up the seams before I did the strap, mainly because I wanted to make sure I was making the strap long enough – you can do it either way. Sew on button.
