Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight cotton yarn
• Knitting Needles: US 10 (6 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 24 stitches onto your knitting needle. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement.
2. Work the Ribbing:
   • Row 1: *K2, P2; repeat from * until the end of the row.
   • Row 2: Repeat Row 1.
   • Row 3: Repeat Row 1.
   • Row 4: Repeat Row 1.
   This creates a 2x2 ribbing that will give your phone case a snug fit.
3. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K2, *C4F (cable 4 front), K4; repeat from * to last 2 stitches, K2.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.
   • Row 3: K2, *K4, C4B (cable 4 back); repeat from * to last 2 stitches, K2.
   • Row 4: Purl all stitches.
   Repeat Rows 1-4 until your piece measures the length of your phone. This will create the beautiful cable texture that makes your phone case unique.
4. Bind Off: Once your piece is the correct length, bind off all stitches. Make sure to do this loosely to maintain the elasticity of the fabric.
5. Seam the Sides: Use the mattress stitch to seam the sides of your phone case together. Be sure to leave openings for buttons and the charging port, ensuring your phone is functional while protected.
6. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends of yarn, securing your work and giving it a polished finish.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Chunky Cable Knit Phone Case. Enjoy your new accessory and the satisfaction of having created something beautiful and functional with your own hands!
