Rabbit in the Moonlight Smartphone Case

Called rabbit in the moonlight because the rabbit doesn't stand out as well as I hoped - it's more a mirage of a rabbit (hard to capture on camera). But all the same, I still like the ribbed look. It's based on my Little Owls Smartphone Case using cabling and french knots within a rib repeat.

Using DK wool and 3.5mm needles...

row 38 - cast off following rib pattern

Sew french knots for tail on the 2 rabbits, and then mattress stitch a seam down the side and along bottom using long cast off end.


The idea is to be a snug fit, my phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace) is 11cm x 5cm x 1cm. The ribs are a size to fit a 'chunky' phone (i.e. iPhone 4 square edge rather than 3 curved taper) and nicely edge it, but I'm sure would also fit more slimline models too. Let me know how it looks and fits for other models.
