Following a cartoon in this week’s private eye, I decided to make up a pattern for an iPhone cover. It uses less than one ball of dk wool and will fit all models of iPhone (I have made it slightly longer to fit the new iPhone 5 too) I think I am going to write one for the iPad too, but have too many other presents to make at the moment so it is further down my todo list. Anyway, this is how it turned out:
