How to Knit a Sweater for Your iPhone

The iPhoodie. Hoodie for your iPhone. It’s getting to be fall so don’t you think your iPhone deserves to be cozy? (If this looks familiar to you die hard knitters… I have had the pattern on Ravelry for a while now.)

I’ve had this pattern on Ravelry for almost 2 years. It’s received 3,000+ “likes” on my own personal knit version and over 500 knitters have created their own iphoodie from my pattern. Now, I want to share it with all of you!

You don’t have to be a master knitter to do this, but you should know how to knit “in the round”. If you don’t know how to knit at all and want to learn, KnittingHelp.com is a great resource with videos!

Below is the pattern. Enjoy, and happy knitting! (click the image to see the pdf of the pattern)

I am just wondering… can I make them for fundraiser for my sons’s highschool baseball team? I will make them in black and gold – the highschool’s colors.
I will donate all my labor to the team, and all the profit goes to the team to help pay for baseball equipments on their wish list. Would you give me a permission?

Hi, I’m a little unsure of the increase instructions, can you clarify how to “Repeat rows 1 and 2 until there are 10 stitches before the first marker” I’m just not sure if I should only increase the same number of times and in the same order between each marker as in row one or if I should keep the increases in the same place, next to the markers? For example on row 3 do I K2, Kfb, K1, move marker, Kfb, K2, Kfb, K2, move marker? Or would I K3, Kfb, move marker, Kfb, K4,Kfb, move marker? I was just gonna try one way and see what happens but if I do it wrong I’ll end up with a mess! Thanks for the pattern, I love it!

I’m confused. When you cast on, is it with the number 3 needles. Also, it says to move the markers. To where?
Jessica

Were you able to figure out the increase? I’m in the same spot now.

Hi Jessica, I kept the kfb on the ends (so for example if it was kfb, k3, kfb, then the next row I did kfb, k5, kfb)

Is there any way I can do this pattern all on straight needles as haven’t learnt to knit on dp needles yet ?
Brianne

I’m not an expert but I did make this and I don’t think you can do it without dpn’s. Give them a try! There are plenty of YouTube videos to teach you how, that’s how I learned! Good luck!

There is a way! Linda from clickerty click on Ravely wrote the original pattern inspiration and let me modify it for dpns and changing it up a bit here and there. Here is her version http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knit-ipod-hoody-mobile-phone-cozy Hope this helps!!
