Knit a Sweet Pop Tart Phone Cover

If you have a tween or teen with a cell phone, this is a great little project to knit up for them. Or for anyone young at heart who enjoys sugary treats. Or for a teen or tween knitter to whip up for themselves. Or, you know, sew all the sides closed and have a Pop Tart to play with. I won’t judge.

Kristen at Studio Knit developed this pattern for back to school, but it would be a fun holiday gift (especially with a phone inside…) or a just because present for a special person in your life.

It’s worked as a mini purse with an I-cord strap, but you could leave that off and just have it as a sleeve. Or make it a mini purse for a younger kid who likes bags (don’t they all?). The possibilities are endless for this one.

The pattern has written instructions, tons of pictures and a video tutorial so it’s great even for newer knitters. I’d love to know if you give it a try!

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
