About the Design:

Whether you call it an iCozy, iSleeve, iSock, or iCover, this pattern is the first 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 about 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!


This is one of my favorite Faroe patterns – I find it rather addictive! I usually work it using white for the contrast stitches, but using only color is also playful. If you only have very short lengths of yarn to use up, the main color of each 3-round repeat only needs about 2.3 yds. yarn, so each rep could be worked in a different color!
