Cell
Phone Cozy (with window & accessory outlet) Everyone
knows that cell phones take a beating. After making and frogging Suss Cousins™
Cell Phone Case from her book Hollywood Knits, I decided to make some
improvements. This is a
great last-minute gift for anyone and it knits up super fast! Suss uses snaps to affix the flap to the
body, doesn't have a slit in the bottom of the case for the battery
charger or earpiece accessory, and only does 1 row of crochet. Plus, her case is a bit bigger. She suggests using 1 skein FITS most cell phones (i.e. Nokia 3595, any non-clamshell style cell phone about 4"x 2.5") TO KNIT all done in stockinette/straight stitch E-cast on 7 stitches. *Knit 1 row Purl 1 row* to 3 rows ROW 3: K3, Bind Off 1, K3 (making small buttonhole) ROW 4: P3, CO1 (e-cast), P3 Work in stockinette stitch for a total of 26 rows (You’ve finished the flap!) ROW 27: K1, M1, K6, M1, K1 Work in stockinette stitch for 21 more rows ROW 49: K3, BO3, K3 (Making slit for accessory access on bottom of case) ROW 50: P3, CO3, P3 Work in stockinette stitch for 14 more rows ROW 64: K3 and place on stitch holder (or leave on needle to be worked later), BO3, K3 (making window) Work 5 more rows stockinette stitch on first set of 3 stitches (can place on holder), cut yarn. Work remaining 3 stitches for 5 more rows (starting with P3) On the sixth row, P3, CO3 to join other column and P3. Work 4 more rows stockinette stitch. Bind off all stitches. To
FINISH: fold so that the top of window section meets where the flap
increased to 9 stitches. Sew
up side seams. Work 1 row
of single crochet around the top opening and 2 rows of single crochet
around the flap. Weave
in ends. Place button on bottom of case to fit
flap and sew on main body of case.
Voila! 1 finished cozy! |
