Midnight Snowfall Cell Phone/Eyeglass Cover, PDF pattern

About The Design:

Whether you call it an iCozy, iSleeve, iSock, or iCover, this pattern is the 2nd in a series of knit covers for your cell phone or eyeglasses. Cell phones are ubiquitous, so, with a small investment of time, you can knit yourself, your family, and friends a colorful i-cover!

The covers only weigh about an ounce, so they make good use of all those tiny balls of stash yarns we can’t bear to get rid of, or the discontinued yarns or colors we can’t get more of!

This cover will bring the delight of a winter night’s snowfall into your home to enjoy, even if you too don’t get to see snow! This drama is enhanced by a third color duplicate stitched on afterward, which makes the snowflakes twinkle! There is also a light color background option.

Finished Dimensions: 3.25” wide x 7.25” long
