This quick and practical iPhone pocket is a fun scrap-yarn project that knits up in one evening.
It’s worked flat in rows and requires no seaming, making it beginner-friendly while still looking polished.
The double-strand construction gives the fabric extra strength and stretch so the pocket can hold your phone securely without sagging.

You can easily customize the length, width, or handle depth to fit your phone model, and the ribbed bottom helps the pocket keep its shape even with daily use.
It’s perfect for carrying your phone hands-free, for storing small essentials around the house, or for gifting to someone who always misplaces their phone.

If your gauge differs, simply adjust your needle size or the number of stitches cast on.
Size adjustments are included below.

Size Options

The written instructions fit most standard iPhone sizes.
You can adjust:
• Width: by adding or subtracting stitches in multiples of 2
• Length: by knitting more or fewer rows before shaping the handle
• Handle depth: by adjusting the number of rows worked before joining again

Finished measurements will vary depending on your yarn choice and blocking.

Additional Gauge Information

This project is very forgiving, but gauge affects:
• final width (phone fit)
• stretch
• fabric thickness

If your gauge is looser, the pocket will be wider and softer.
If your gauge is tighter, it will be more snug and sturdy.
Choose the feel you prefer — both will work.
