“OMG! I’m so excited I know what to do with my leftover sock yarn!”
I’m on my way to the Big Apple, getting ready to tell the national media what’s so great about knitting nowadays. One of my favorite things? All the accessories you can make.
So here’s a quick and easy pattern for a perfectly-fitting iPhone cozy pattern — a great way to use up leftover sock yarn, practice Magic Loop, and protect your precious screen!
It even features a slot to plug the phone in, as well as a ribbed “cuff” to keep the top secure.

Ok!! I just got my first iPhone, (YAY ME!) and I needed a new small project to do, for fun-I can’t wait to get started~
Thanks! you are AMAZING! T:D
YOU are amazing!! Just curious – how did you find this pattern? I’m so happy it was exactly what you were looking for!
cool! I’ve searched for an iPhone cover for days. And found a couple that would “work” but I wasn’t happy enough with them. This is inspired….. a slot at the bottom so I can plug it in, thus leaving the phone in its case all the time :) …. handy when you have a house full of cats who refuse to consider you might want a space they can’t “enter” – LOL — thank you, Liat!!
You’re welcome! Yay! I love mine – I’ve made like 3 of them because I lose one every few months – but they take like an hour to make. Glad you found mine!

Thank you for the IPhone cozy pattern! I’ve been planning to devise something to use to carry my phone when I’m walking for exercise and have no pockets.
I will add an icord strap and hang it around my neck!
So glad I joined your newsletter list!
