Knit an iPhone 4G cozy

Are you one of the individuals who endured the painful process of upgrading/ordering an iPhone 4G from AT&T, or perhaps stood in line for 10 hours to get one the other day from your local Apple Store? Well, do you have a case yet?

Joanna from the Austin Knitting Examiner posted about knitting your own iPhone 4 cosy. Curious about the actual dimensions, I did some research on the differences in size. There’s not much to speak of:

3g dimensions: 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm
4g dimensions: 114.3 x 58.7 x 9.4 mm

Perhaps 3 mm smaller? Not enough to sneeze at, really. Unless you’re knitting an iPad cosy, you should be able to use any of the 3g patterns to cover your new iPhone 4. Here are a few:

Carl Tashian’s cover

Sarah E. White’s cabled cover at About.com

Susie Blackman’s cosy

Bittersweet Blog’s Pop Tart cover

Cotton and Cloud’s iPhone cover

All Free Crafts cover

There are tons more out there, so dive into your stash and save some $ on a cover and knit your own.
