Design ideas
The design of a knitted case for a mobile phone should correspond to the style and lifestyle of its owner. For office employees, laconic models without extra decor, made from dark-colored yarn, are best suited. For pupils and students who are not burdened with strict dress codes, the choice of design is much wider. It can be styles of rich colors, with bright stripes, inserts, appliqués and embroideries in the form of flowers, bows, hearts, snowflakes. It’s a good idea to embroider your own name on the case. Knitted phone cases in the form of funny animals or cartoon characters, books or TV shows are popular.
All sorts of foxes, hares, mice, everyone’s favorite minions, smeshariki and other characters are especially relevant. You can also make covers of different colors and change them depending on the palette of the outfit, season, mood.
Matching yarn
To make a quality knitted phone case with your own hands, it is important to choose the right yarn. It should be strong enough, not roll up in spools, reliably protect the phone from scratches. The best choice is natural threads made of wool or cotton: they are pleasant to the touch, look beautiful and are durable. Acrylic yarn belongs to more budget materials, but it is short-lived: it is quickly covered with unaesthetic spools. The problem can be solved if you regularly treat the product with a safety razor.
Covers made of fluffy threads look beautiful, but they are also not too practical: the fluff quickly erases. In this case, yarn called "grass" will come to the rescue, it looks cute, does not roll and does not come out.
Color palette
A mobile phone is constantly in use, so the cover should be practical. Products of light pastel colors in this case get dirty and lose their beautiful appearance, so it is best to give preference to darker, non-marking shades: gray, blue, black. You can also use melange yarn, pollution on it will be almost invisible. However, do not completely abandon the light colors. A handmade product belongs to the category of budget accessories, so you can make several pieces and change them at least every day.
Striped multi-colored cases look incredibly interesting and are very practical. The most stylish color combinations are black and white, navy blue and white, blue and red, pink and blue, orange and lilac. Neutral shades, such as beige and gray, harmoniously combine with any other colors and can be used without restrictions. You should also consider the color scheme of the main outfit, so that the cover is in harmony with the image of its owner as a whole.
