Toothless Knitter: Crochet Phone Case

Crochet Case with Button for a Phone

- What do you need to make a simple crochet case for a phone?
- Not much: crochet hook, embroidery thread, button, and half an hour.

The case is made from embroidery thread using a 3.00 mm crochet hook. We start by making a chain of length equal to two and a half times the length of the longest side of the phone. Work it using the double crochet stitch, changing the colour of embroidery thread as desired, until you get a rectangle of length equal to two and a half times the length of the phone, and width equal to twice the width of the phone plus three times the thickness of the phone.

Crochet phone case schema.

To make the case you need to do the following:

1. Fold the rectangle along the bottom fold marked on the schema above (this exposes the inside of the case, which is what we will work on in the following steps).

2. Sew together the side seams marked by continuous red lines.

3. Turn the case inside-out.

4. Make edgings along the sides marked by continuous orange lines on the schema above either using double crochet stitch or slip stitch. You can omit this step.

5. Sew the button onto the case half way down, or slightly lower.

6. Form a loop from a chain of sufficient length to allow the case to be buttoned up. Strengthen the loop with slip stitches.

7. Wave in all the threads.
