My friend Lucy was in need of a case for her new phone so I made her this one. I hate sewing and avoid it at all costs, which is why this case is knitted in the round on double-pointed needles. The fair-isle pattern is based on a Swedish design that I’d seen – appropriate as Lucy has family in Sweden.
