Designed by Aoibhe Ni Shuilleabhain, this lovely little phone cosy is the perfect project for beginners to try their hand at Tunisian Crochet.

As each Tunisian Simple Stitch works up into an almost perfect square, it can be used easily as a cross stitch medium. Use each Tunisian Simple Stitch as one cross stitch space.

Yarn: 4Ply/Fingering weight Yarn with extension (see notes) 70 metres/77 yards, plus scraps of 4ply/fingering weight yarn in green, lilac, white and yellow for cross stitching.

Shown In: Drops Baby Merino – 17 Beige (50 g = 175 metres/191 yards, 100% wool plus random 4ply/fingering weight scraps

Hook: 4mm/US G/6

Finished cosy will fit a phone measuring 85mm x 160 mm, with some generous wiggle room in either direction.

If your phone is much bigger or smaller, simply add or subtract chains and rows in multiples of two to alter the fit.
