Cell Phone Cozy

I finally finished my 2nd knitting project….that is cell phone cozy…If you guys want to make one...

my 2nd project

Just follow these instructions…

1. Cast on 6 stitches

2.Knit 3 rows of garter stitch.

3. Row 4: Knit 3 stitches, yarn over, and knit the remaining 3 stitches. You now have 7 stitches. (The yarn over creates the buttonhole.)

4. Rows 5 through 7: Knit in garter stitch.

5. Row 8: Knit 1, increase 1 by knitting through the front and back of the next stitch, knit until 1 stitch remains, and increase 1. You now have 9 stitches.

6. Rows 9 through 12: Knit in garter stitch.

7. Row 13: Knit 2, yarn over. Knit until 1 stitch remains, increase 1. You now have 11 stitches. (This yarn over creates an opening for your antenna.)

8. Rows 14 through 80: Knit in garter stitch.

9. Bind off, leaving a 24-inch tail.

10. Fold your strip of knitting almost in half so that the antenna hole is located at the top of the cozy and a 2-inch flap with the buttonhole overlaps the rest. Using your yarn needle, sew up the sides of the cozy using the overcast stitch. (You can use your bind-off tail to do this.) Weave in and trim the loose ends.

11. Sew a button on the front of the cozy, directly behind where the buttonhole falls, using your sewing needle and regular thread.

Improvisation idea: Make your cozy into an over-the-shoulder carrying case. Braid a 27-inch cord of yarn and attach it to the top of the opening flap, knotting the ends to keep the cord secure and the braid from unraveling.
