We all can use this one, a cool looking cell phone bag with shoulder strap.
I have been wanting to knit a wearable bag for my cell for a long time and since I just got a new phone, this was the perfect time because I also found a very special yarn for the project. A special shiny Cotton/Poly tube yarn does the trick beautifully. It is sophisticated, very sleek in appearance and the color choices available are stellar.
The finished project has a cool metallic look. Mine as shown in the photos is the Slate color. My phone is an iPhone 13 Pro Max plus it has a hard cover around it and it fits perfectly with measurements of 3.5" by 6.5".
Knitted all in one piece, blocked and seamed, with easy open magnet closure and no phones DO NOT get hurt by magnets. The front design is a simple, yet striking Eyelet unisex grid pattern. A small detail with a great overall effect.
The blocked bag size is 6 3/4" by 5".
The pattern is fully written and the Eyelet grid design is charted.
The knit kits include:
- The special tube yarn, 90 yards light worsted weight in a 30% cotton / 70% Polyester blend. (more yardage has been added to the kits as sometimes knitters don't make a gauge swatch or make the bag bigger. (?) :) Please be advised, if you need more yarn, you can contact us to purchase extra yardage at yarnz2go@gmail.com
- Two magnets in thin plastic covers to be easily sewn in.
