It’s true. I made a sweater for my phone.
I bought the chenille yarn that I used for my phone sweater at Big Lots, most of it went into some scarves I knit to bring out my inner rock star. I always end up saving the ends thinking that I’ll find a way to use them up, and then when little projects (like this one) come along I usually grab one of my hand spun yarns and totally ignore the cheapo stuff I bought at the cheapo store.
Here’s the pattern: on sz 4 knitting needles gauge should be about 6 rows to an inch and 4 st to an inch. I used a non-stretchy cast off.
Front: CO 14 st, 1st row k5, p 4, k5 2nd row p5, k 4, p5 repeat rows 1 & 2 12 more times for a total of 28 rows, cast off.
Back: CO 14 st, 1st row k, 2nd row p repeat rows 1&2 12 more times for a total of 28 rows, cast off.
Sew back and front together by the sides leaving the top (bound off edges) open as well as weaving invisibly past the middle 4 stitches in the bottom (this will allow you to keep your phone in the cozy while it’s charging. Cast 3 stitches onto the top corner with a dpn and knit an i-cord, when it is the length you want, break yarn and graft it to the other side (where you started sewing.)
This will fit an iPhone 4 or 4s, for the iPhone 5 you’ll want to add three rows to each the front and back, and when sewing the bottom (front wrong side facing out and up, and sewing from right to left) you’ll want to sew the bottom 2 stitches, skip one (for the headphone jack), sew the next 5, skip the next two (for the power supply/usb cord), then sew the rest normally.
