Special Notes
- Pattern is easily adjustable to the size of your phone—simply begin with a chain that matches the width of your device.
- Make the case slightly shorter than your phone for a snug, stretched fit due to yarn elasticity.
- Pattern is worked in the round (up one side and down the other), forming an envelope with minimal seaming.
Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Base Chain & First Row
- Measure your phone width.
- Ch 23–25 (or as many as fits the width of your phone, plus 1 for turning).
- Dc in the 4th ch from hook (beginning 3 ch counts as first dc).
- Dc in each ch across to the end.
- In the last ch: 3 dc in the same ch (this turns the corner).
2. Work Down the Other Side (Round 1)
- Continue along the other side of the foundation chain.
- Dc in each ch to the start, working over the unused loops of the foundation chain.
- In the very first ch (where you first began): 2 more dc in same ch (3 dc here total to shape corner).
- Join with sl st to the top of beginning ch-3.
3. Continue Rounds for Body
- Ch 3 (counts as dc), do NOT turn.
- Dc in each st around.
- At each round’s “corners,” insert dc stitches evenly to keep the corners smooth and add height.
- Continue working in the round, joining with sl st, for as many rounds as needed to reach the desired height of your phone case. (Sample has about 16–18 rounds; adjust as necessary.)
- Fasten off and weave in yarn.
4. Seaming the Sides
- Fold the case in half, matching foundation edges.
- With yarn needle and matching yarn, seam one side closed (if you worked in the round, only bottom seam is needed).
- Turn right side out.
5. Top Flap/Strap (Optional)
Flap (if desired)
- On the center back edge, rejoin yarn and ch 6.
- Dc in 4th ch from hook and next ch, dc in last st.
- Ch 3, turn, dc across. Work for 4–6 rows to create flap as desired.
- Fasten off.
Strap (if desired)
- Ch a length for strap (approx. 30–40 ch, or as fits your preference).
- Working back down the chain, dc into each ch across for more stability (for a thicker cord, repeat rows).
- Attach to opposite edge with sl st or sew securely.
- Fasten off, weave ends.
6. Button Closure
- Sew button to the front of the case (centered below flap or centered at opening).
- If you made a flap, crochet a button loop (ch 6–8, sl st back to flap tip), secure, and fasten off.
Conclusion
This phone case is a stylish, quick project—customizable with any yarn or button you have at hand. Add a strap for portability or omit for a simple slipcase. Can be gifted or sold, and is suitable for any phone size.
Pattern Correction
- Ensure both sides of piece are equal; count stitches on both sides after round one to avoid twisting or uneven growth.
- If the case is too snug, add 1–2 extra chains to the base or rounds to the body.
- For extra security, line with fabric before seaming.
Tips
- Use a shimmery, stretchy yarn for a modern look, or swap for cotton for durability.
- Add embellishments (buttons, charms, embroidery) after seaming for a personal touch.
- Wash and block before the final assembly if using wool or acrylic that stretches.
