This is a free practice pattern for another pattern of mine, Ela the Matryoshka doll.
Practice your spike stitch, skip stitch, and color rotation – while making this strawberry cover.
You can adapt it into anything you like… a phone cozy, tablet sleeve, pencil case, or maybe a cute little pouch?

Use any kind of yarn with a matching hook.

Difficulty level: INTERMEDIATE
You will need to switch between yarn colors, use back & front loops, skip stitch and spike stitch.
All stitches & techniques are explained in detail.

This is a step by step, easy to follow written pattern, photo tutorial and a strawberry chart.
In English only… (for now).
Written in standard US terms.
All used abbreviations are listed and explained.
