OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

Our team strives to present you with a pattern that is accurate, complete and enjoyable. We know, however, that sometimes our best efforts are not enough and errata may slip through; for this we sincerely apologize. If we have overlooked a detail or you have any questions or comments please write us at patternsupport@impeccableknits.ca. Were always happy to help.

PATTERN NOTES
Choose a smooth-surface yarn for best results, a fuzzy yarn will obscure the texture of the cable pattern on the front. Also, a yarn with some 'give', like wool, will make the tight cabling of the design easier to work. If you have lots of yarn odds and ends, multiple colours would also work well for this design; simply change colours every 4 rounds when working the body. The double-yarn-over in R5 creates a small buttonhole closure; be sure to choose a button that will fit the size of the buttonhole. Description This little tote is an excellent way to transport all manner of small necessities the perfect cover for your phone.
