Kingdom Hearts Cell Cozy


~ugly, fuzzy, webcam pic of GS's black one is here~

I tried charting it out in two colors and sort of came up with a 25x25 grid.

Pre-string yarn with 78 [for dense heart] or about 60 beads
Cast on 34 sts on US3 dpns [leave 6-inch tail]
Join and knit for 3 rows before beginning chart
Place bead in front of each stitch in chart
straight stitch another two rows
one eyelet row [*YO, K2TOG*]
K next row
bind off VERY loosely
on last stitch, pick up two more sts and begin an i-cord
knit i-cord for 4 inches [or longer if your wrist is wider] and join it to three stitches at the opposite end [this forms the wrist-loop at the top]
Make sure the i-cord is situated so that the beaded logo appears on the front of the cozy

Bottom: flip the cozy inside out. Take cast-on tail of yarn at the bottom and stitch the two sides of the bottom together. Leave the middle 1/3 open if this is where your charger plugs in so you needn't remove cell from its cozy.

Turn bag back to right-side out and place your cell inside!

Fits clamshell-type cell cozily. For wider phones, use US4 dpns or cast on 36 or 38 stitches [each of those methods has yielded me a cozy wide enough for a Razr]. Keeping number of cast on stitches even will allow you to make your eyelet row. May also thread a ribbon thru this eyelet row and tie a bow in it. If your bag wasn't snug enough, tie this ribbon tighter to ensure your cell won't slip out.
