My iPhone Case

Like all of us avid knitters we always have a "left over" yarn stash that we keep just in case there is something small that we knit.  My bin was getting quite large, considering I was also knitting for my Etsy store.  So what to do with all my left over stash?

A few months ago I decided to experiment and knit a nice cable knit phone case.  The reason being is that it didn't take too much yarn to make one, and they're quite quick to knit up.  I could have knit a plain stockinette stitch without the cable, but I find if you have a simple plain yarn it doesn't look as good (variegated or self-striping yarn produces wonderful cases with just a stockinette stitch.  I also wanted to make this case seamless because I just hate seaming!  The less seaming I do at the end the better!  Now I'm the type of knitter that likes to just pick up needles and some yarn and knit, coming up with the pattern as I go.  What I came up with was this :)


This has become a best seller at my store :)

I've also been approached with the pattern - it took me a while to get it out because it was in my head :)

Pattern is available to purchase by clicking the "buy now" button below (sold through Ravelry and is a direct file download)

  3. These amazingly slight weave don't unwind, making them incredible for clothing and underwear. In contrast to single weaves, tricot sew is a twist sew, which implies that the ribbing on the front and back are parallel rather than opposite. tindra garn

  4. The ribbing and heavy-weight quality makes it a bit thicker, so ribbed knit fabrics perfect for skirts, dresses, jackets, and coats. garn tindra
