Fast off.

As you can see in the photos, there is a little “patella” to close the cell cozy.

To get it, replace about 10 sts of the upper part of the cozy and rejoin yarn.

Work in stockinette stitch for about 6,5 cm. Fo.

Felt the two ovals the way you like.

Now we have to sew the cozy. Sew 3 sides leaving little holes double end.

Please see photos to see how.

With a pair of scissors cut a little space to obtain the buttonhole on the “patella”. Sew all around the buttonhole.

Sew the button on the cozy in correspondence to the buttonhole.

Enjoy it!
