About The Design
Whether you call it an iCozy, iSleeve, iSock, or iCover, this pattern is the 5th 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, family, and your 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!

Knitters familiar with my ‘Springtime Tea Cozy’ design will recognize this new incarnation! I look at all types of textiles for design inspiration. This motif was inspired by a lace pattern, called ‘Springtime’, in Marianne Kinzel’s “First Book of Modern Lace Knitting”.

Four color charts are enclosed, but feel free to put your own color choices to the pattern.
