Materials Required
- Yarn
- Crochet hook Scissors Yarn needle
Choose a yarn and hook size that will give you the fit and texture you desire.
The Best Yarn for This Project
For a neat shape and a sturdy feel, a smooth cotton yarn is a good choice. You can also use a lightweight acrylic if you want something softer but cotton usually gives a cleaner finish for small accessories.
Skill Level
Good for beginners.
Size & Fit Guide
Measure your phone as you go along and compare the piece often. Keep the width snug but not too tight, and repeat the main section until the case feels tall enough for your phone. You can also customize the opening or flap area if needed.
Stitches
The tutorial begins with a chain and then uses basic crochet stitches repeated to build up the cover.
How to Make It Step
Begin the Foundation
Make a base as wide as your phone. Test it with your phone early, so it stays neat.
Center Section Work
Crochet in the round or work in rows to build up the body of the case. The material opens out into a simple pouch shape to keep the phone secure.
Re-scale
Keep testing the fit as you go. Repeat the pattern until you reach the height you desire.
Join or Create
If the body is the right size, shape the top if necessary and be sure the sides hang evenly.
Complete the Edges
Make the opening neat and clean, then weave in all loose ends so the case stays strong.
Helpful Hints
- Use stitch markers to keep track of where you started.
- Check the fit frequently, rather than waiting until the end.
- Keep your tension even or the case will stretch unevenly.
- Weave ends as well as small projects are handled a lot.
Common Mistakes to Steer Clear Of
- Setting the initial width too loose.
- Not trying on for size.
- Uneven tension on sides.
- Stop before the case is too high.
- Ends dangling inside the pouch.
Personalization Ideas
Pick a solid color for a clean look or stripes for something playful. You can add a flap, a button, a tiny bow, edging or a wrist strap. A simple lining can also help protect the phone and keep the shape tidy.
STYLES IDEAS
This little case is cute to keep in a tote bag or small purse for everyday use. It also makes a lovely handmade gift for a friend, teen or anyone who loves practical crochet projects.
Care Instructions
If needed, wash gently in cool water. Moist and air dry to form. Do not wash roughly that the case may keep its shape.
Time Required
This may take a few hours depending on your speed, yarn and size and stitch pattern.
