Cast on 3 sts.  

Knit these sts (now on the right needle).

With the left needle (and without turning), move the stitches back to the left needle again.  Your working yarn will be on the left of your knitting.

With right sides facing, use your needle and the cast on tail  to close the bottom of your case.

Use the cast off tail and your needle to close the side.

Weave in all the ends.

to wrap it up:

Find the middle of your cellphone case and sew the i-cord on the inside of your knitted mobile phone case, to form a loop.

Place your i-cord loop in position (back to front) and sew the rose to the front.
