How To Knit a Koozie for a Cell Phone
You can purchase your own cell phone koozie at the store, but you will have to select from only the commercial options available. Instead, try knitting your own cell phone koozie; you will be able to choose the yarn and colors you like and knit your koozie to the size that is a perfect fit for your phone. You will need a basic understanding of knit and purl stitches, casting on and binding off in order to complete this project.

Tips & Warnings
If 20 stitches makes this koozie too wide for your phone, cast on fewer stitches. Just keep your cast-on in even numbers so you can use the knit two, purl two ribbing. The ribbing will allow the koozie to stretch, so you should make it slightly slimmer than the width of your phone.
