New Pattern

Hello people sorry it has been so long before I gave you another update to the blog, but I had a lot of stuff to do and it's been very busy for these past six months (wow SIX months).  You will be happy to know that I will start to update this site more frequently even if it's just to say that I don't have anything for you at the mo.  Anywho I am going to put up a really simple knitting pattern that I taught the kids at a good news club I help at.  It was their last night and they have a party, so for the last four or five years at both Christmas and summer I had a craft table for them.  The pattern was for the boys to knit for their dads as Father's Day was coming along in a couple of weeks so here it is.



Mobile Phone Pouch

Supplies

4mm Knitting Needles
Double Knit Yarn in any colour that you want.
Snap Fastener
Sewing Needle
Thread

The Pattern

Cast on 15 stitches
Knit every row until work measures 30cm
Cast off and sew in ends
Fold the cast off edge up to about 7 or 8 cm from the top and sew up the edges.  The extra bit will work as a flap over the top of the pouch. ( You can make the flap shorter or longer depending on the size of the phone)
Finish by sewing a snap fastener under the flap and it's counterpart to the front of the turned up section.

And that's it.  If you are having any trouble with the pattern or the instructions please let me know and I will try to help you as best I can.

This has been tested for a sony erricsson cybershot phone so it should work for most other models as well.

Please don't sell this pattern.  You can sell any items you make but the pattern has been kindly given to you for free so don't spoil it for others.
