This pattern is intended to be a template for your own creativity. Cell phones come in all shapes and sizes, and so must cell phone cozies. So as long as you’re working those brain muscles to adjust the sizing for your own cozy, think of what else you can do. Would you like to try a crazy color combo from your stash scraps? Are there any neat-o stitch patterns you’d like to try out for just a few rows, in lieu of these mini-cables?

I recommend stash diving for scraps of any aran/worsted weight yarn. (Despite my love of bamboo, I recommend a sturdier fiber like wool or cotton.) Of course, if you choose to buy new yarn for this project, be prepared to crank out holiday gifts for everyone you know. This little cozy uses so little yarn, you’ll have as many sweaters to give out as Ron Weasley’s mother.
