Cell Phone Cozy
This cozy was designed for the G1 Google phone, but it fits the iPhone, iPod Touch, and many digital cameras. The cozy is about an inch longer than the G1, so the ribbing pulls closed near the top and keeps the phone from falling out without a closure. If you wanted the cozy to be the same size as your phone, remove four rows from the beginning and end of the pattern. The pattern is worked in the round on DPNs, and the cables are beginner level.
