ReplyDeleteThat is so clever! My husband's iPhone screen is scratched to bits.
ReplyDeletecute gift idea
ReplyDeleteDoes the PT in row 13 mean RT or something else because when I google it nothing comes up?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comments
DeleteLuna the PT in row 13 is correct and that is what it says on the pattern
it is the Twisted purl stitch
here is a link http://www.smart-knit-crocheting.com/twisted-stitch.html
I probably did the RT, (but instead of knitting I purled it)
Hope this helps.
Looking forward to see how it turned out. Let me know if there is an easier way.
