Notes

For I-phone Pro Max 14 (6.33 x 3.07 x .31). It is always so hard to figure out how many stitches to cast on, i.e., how much will the knitting stretch, etc. I tried many times before settling on 62 stitches with the Kroy yarn on size 3 needles & 1 x 1 rib for .5” before switching to SS. I decreased 8 stitches for the body because it flared out too much from the ribbing.

I used double zero needles for the hearts. After the first one, instead of adding another strand of yarn to do the second heart top, I cut about 6” of yarn when finishing the first top, then used an embroidery needle to weave the yarn over to the middle. That saves one end from having to be woven in when done. The solid lavender hearts turned our very small, so I decided to make a bigger one with variegated baby yarn & size 3 needles. I sewed the hearts on with needle & thread.

She likes it!
