Elena Knits: Cell phone sleeve
This sleeve is intended for an HTC Wildfire S (10 x 6 x 1.3 cm). For any other model of cell phone, the pattern will need to be adapted according to the specific measurements. This idea occurred to me after making the Kindle cozy but I didn't want the bulk created by the 3 needle bind off but a neat end like the toe of a sock. Gauge: 20.0 sts x 26 rows.
Material needed:
7 grams of Cascade 220 or any other worsted weight yarn. 4.5 mm (Us 7) and 4 (US 6) mm needles (or size needed to get gauge)
Make the sleeve:
1. CO 12 st using Judy's magic cast on. You can find out how to do it here. 2. Continue st by st in stockinette stitch. 3. After 9.5 cm (28 rows) from cast on edge, take smaller size needles (4 mm - US 6) and start 1x1 twisted ribbing (\*k1 through the back loop, p1. Repeat from \* across). Make 5 rows. I usually change to smaller needles one row before starting ribbing. 4. B0 in twisted ribbing using 4.5 (US 7) mm needle.
