How to Knit a Pop Tart Phone Case
Hi, Guys, I’m Kristen and Welcome to Studio Knit!
Today we are knitting up these super cute and easy to knit Phone Cases. I’ve been
getting lots of requests from you for a knitted phone case and I thought that its rectangular
shape was perfect so that we could design it into a yummy Pop Tart.
Our design includes the pinched Pop Tart crust on all four sides, a smooth crust middle in
stockinette stitch, a thick layer of frosting, and fun sprinkles! You may also add a strap,
if you like! They also make really cute mini purses.
The Materials we will use are 2 Straight Knitting Needles. I’m using size 7 US, and if you
want to make a strap, you will need 2 Double Pointed Knitting Needles, Scissors, a Tapestry
Needle, and worsted or aran weighted yarn and you color choice is TOTALLY OPTIONAL to
match your favorite Pop Tart Flavors!
Links to my Written Pattern and Lessons on all of the Knitting Techniques we are using
are in the description below. Oh, and if you think this Pop Tart phone cover would be a
fun quick knit, please hit LIKE to let me know you would like to see me make more videos
like this.
To begin, we will cast on in multiples of four stitches, plus two, and we are going
to match the width of your phone. For me, I’m casting on twelve stitches, plus two,
for fourteen total stitches.
We will be making the first crust edge by Knitting Two, then Purling Two, and repeating
this rib pattern until we reach the last two stitches, which we will simply knit.
On the second row, we will purl two, then knit two, repeating this rib stitch pattern
until we the last two stitches, which we will purl.
For Row 3, we will purl two stitches, knit all the wayt across the row until the last
two stitches, and then purl those two stitches.
Okay, Row 4, let’s knit two stitches, purl all the way across the row, on on those last
two stitches, we are going to knit them.
On Row 5, we simply knit all the way across the row.
Now on Row 6, we Purl all the way across the row.
Now, repeat these last four rows, rows 3 4 5 and 6, until your Pop Tart is the height
of your phone.
Then we will finish up with our top crust edge with Knitting the series of Purl Two,
and Knit Two, all the way across Row, finishing up with Two Purl stitches.
On our last row here, it is Knit Two and Purl Two, and on our last two stitches, it is knitting
two.
Okay, and then we are going to bind off. And make one more crust for the other side of
your phone case.
To make our Frosting Layer, we will cast on ten stitches, and we are knitting in the stockinette
stitch. You know, I like to slip the first stitch of each row, it creates a smoother
edge. Row one, we are knitting and row two we are purling and continue knitting until your frosting
is the height you desire. Okay and then simply bind off.
And now for the really fun part! Let’s add sprinkles! This is a great stash buster, too.
I like to just tie off my ends on the wrong side, and use the tails of my yarn as a bit
of stuffing for a nice thick layer of frosting. Using our tapestry needle, tack our frosting
onto one layer of crust.
Then with our Crust’s Bind Off Edges on the Bottom, we will piece them together with
the wrong sides touching, and the right sides facing outward, of course. And we just stitch
our Crust together on all three edges, leaving the top open.
If you would like to make a strap, using your double pointed needles, knit up a four stitch
I-Cord. I'm doing it in 4 stitches. And knit it up in the length you desire. My I-Cord
Knitting Tutorial link is in the description below! Then just stitch them onto your phone
case.
I hope you are inspired to knit up some Pop Tart Phone Covers, too. I would love to see
photos of your knitting! My social links are in the description below!
