Minecraft iPhone Cosy


I have at last finished my Minecraft iPhone cosies. As with quite a lot of my knits I start off all enthusiastic at the initial creative bit. I have an idea, and then sit with my needles and wool, working out the best way to make it.  


But then it gets to the checking bit. I knit some samples, but then I get insecure. So I think I had better knit a few more, just to check that there are no errors in the pattern or notes.  So now I have a small pile of iPhone cosies. 

I then get a bit worried about the photos. The natural light has been terrible today, so I am not totally happy, but it is done ....

 


In the end I decided to do just one size, so the cosy fits an iPhone, an iPod touch, and a mini smartphone. But there are three separate charts for creeper, zombie or skeleton versions. I am rather fond of the skeleton version myself. 


My son is not convinced that there is much overlap between Minecraft fans and knitters.

  1. They are fab, and the overlap between Minecraft and knitting may be bigger than expected - you just never know! x

  3. These look spot on. You really got the likeness of the Minecraft creatures. Maybe you'll get some Minecraft crafters wanting you to make versions of their characters.

  5. These look great. It doesn't take much to get the message out to Minecraft fans with the aid of the internet! I hope it is very successful as you have worked very hard on them - and they look so good.

  7. It's a lot of hard work to get things just the way we want them but us crafters wouldn't have it any other way. It's worth it in the end. Good luck on getting sales :)

  17. Ah, this is great! I might just have to grab one of these patterns, as I have a teenager who A. loves minecraft & B. loves his iPod! I think the crossover potential is spectacular, myself. :)
