About this design
I’m always looking for opportunities that will help me use my little bits and bobs in my stash to produce something lovely and useful. I give you the Bespoke Phone Socks!

This small stranded colour work project is a terrific way to use up some leftover 4 ply/fingering weight yarn, plus you get the chance to hone your skills for knitting in the round, reading charts, holding your two strands of yarn in different ways, managing your floats and learning something about colour dominance.

As if that wasn’t enough, you produce a set of three mix and match fashionable protective covers for your phone, which you can change as the mood takes you. These phone socks are also terrific little stocking fillers when the festive season rolls around. Whether you opt for glowing bright colours or more subdued earthy tones, I guarantee that there is a colour combo already waiting for you in your stash. What are you waiting for?

Tension
32 st x 40 rows over 10 cm/4 inches in stocking/stockinette stitch using 2.5 mm (UK size 12) circular needles/double-pointed needles. Please measure your gauge using a blocked swatch that is knitted in the round using the stranded colour work technique. A close match for tension is important for this pattern in order to ensure a good fit for your phone. Please move up or down a needle size and swatch one more time if your gauge does not match.

Yarn
To knit three Bespoke Phone Socks you will need approximately 25 g of two different colours (main colour and contrast colour) of any 4 ply/fingering weight yarn that knits to match the required tension gauge (equivalent to 78 metres/85 yards for each colour).

Needles
2.5 mm (UK size 12) needles. Please use your preferred needle configuration for knitting a small tube in the round.

Notions
Tapestry/darning needle.
Stitch marker.
