NOTES
I knit very loosely and usually have to go down 2-3 needle sizes
Gauge is important to ensure that pieces fit together and that phone will fit in pocket
This is a good project to use up scrap yarn; only a few yards were needed for face and pocket and about half a skein of the Bernat Softee Chunky
Base is worked flat in garter
Stitches are picked up from base on purl bumps on the inside to make it rectangular to stand
