About The Design:
Whether you call it an iCozy, iSleeve, iSock, or iCover, this pattern is the 3rd 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 a little over 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!

The lice pattern in the right sample, worked in bright colors on a black background, reminds me of Christmas lights shining at night! The left sample’s larger motif evolved from the lice pattern, for a more color-rich option.
