About The Design
Whether you call it an iCozy, iSleeve, iSock, or iCover, this pattern is the 7th 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 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.

This design was inspired by “Lilac Time”,
a lace pattern in Marianne Kinzel’s Second Book of Modern Lace Knitting. But, in looking at the lace pattern, I saw color work!
