Double-Knit Phone Pouch

Double knitting is hollow without color changes (you can pull two layers apart).This simple phone pouch is

made using the hollow nature of double knitting. It can be a quick project using leftover yarns, and will make

a perfect gift!

A little pro advice - consider the length of strap so that the phone will be on your belly area. If it’s too short, it

will interfere with your breast or armpit, and if it’s too long, it will hit your crotch or ground when squatting!

This design uses yarn generously provided by Ancient Arts Fibre Crafts - ancientartsfibre.com in Calgary, Alberta of Canada.
