i have been wanting to make a phone pocket thing, and i love this! but all of my knitting skills have gone out of the window – along with one of each pair of needles i have, can i ask if anyone knows a crochet alternative? i’m not as fond of the crochet one available.
i did this in art class (at school) and it was a lot easier and it looked better
Good!
i’m expecting a cell phone soon, so i must make this!
now i will not have to buy another cell just because it was broken
I love it for my ipod
It Is A Nice Idea For Your Cell Phone When It Needs A Cover.

If you don’t know the stitches then try a beginners pattern
i don’t understand! can you make it more clear. i only know the purl stitch and the knit stitch.
Very, very NICE

Wonderful Project Idea for my teenage daughter
