Blackberry Handysock Mobile Phone Cover

We all know that boys love their toys - my boyfriend is certainly no exception!



I knitted this mobile phone cover using some old leftover aran yarn because Ed was worried that his keys would scratch the surface of his fancy new phone in his pocket. This is a super quick, easy project, and is perfect for using up some wool from your stash. I thought using black wool was the most classy colour for the project, given that it's for a blackberry!


The pattern is as follows:
  • CO 22 stitches,
  • (K2, P2) repeat to end of row,
  • Continue in (K2, P2) until the piece measures 12 cm,
  • Cast off in pattern


Finishing off:

Fold in half, lengthways. Stitch along the long edge, and along the cost off edge to create the finished piece. The holder will look much too narrow to fit a blackberry, but it will stretch easily, for a snug fit.

Easy peasy!
