How to Crochet a mini phone case✨💕💕👜👜

Creating a mini crochet phone case is a fun, practical project that’s perfect for beginners. It’s an excellent way to practice basic stitches and learn how to create a flat, rectangular shape that’s later seamed into a pouch. This guide will walk you through a simple pattern for a custom-sized phone case.

Materials Needed

Yarn: A durable yarn like cotton, acrylic, or a cotton blend works best. Choose a medium-weight (worsted) yarn for a sturdy case.
Crochet Hook: The size recommended for your yarn.
Scissors: For cutting yarn.
Tapestry Needle: For weaving in the ends and sewing the case together.
A Button or Clasp (optional): To close the case.

Abbreviations

ch: chain
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
st(s): stitch(es)

Part 1: The Body of the Case

The body of the case is worked in a flat, rectangular piece. You can customize the size to fit any phone.

Measure Your Phone: Measure the width of your phone.
Foundation Chain: ch a number of stitches that is about the same length as the width of your phone. A good starting point is usually between 15-20 chains.
Row 1: sc in the second ch from the hook and in each ch across. You should have one less stitch than your starting chain. ch 1 and turn.
Row 2: sc in each st across. ch 1 and turn.
Repeat Row 2 until your piece is long enough to fold around your phone, covering both the front and the back.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Part 2: Assembly

This is where your flat rectangle becomes a phone case.

Fold the Rectangle: Lay your crochet rectangle flat. Fold it in half to form the pouch.
Seam the Sides: Using the long yarn tail and a tapestry needle, sew the two sides of the case together. You can use a simple whip stitch or a slip stitch seam for a clean look.
Weave in Ends: Weave in any remaining yarn ends on the inside of the case.

Part 3: The Flap and Closure (Optional)

For extra security and a finished look, you can add a flap and button.

The Flap:
- With the yarn still attached to the top of the case, ch 1 and turn.
- sc in each stitch across the top edge.
- ch 1 and turn.
- Repeat this row for 5-7 rows, or until your flap is the desired length.
Buttonhole:
- In the middle of your last row, ch 3, skip the next stitch, and then sc in the following stitch.
- This creates a small loop for your button.
Finishing the Flap: ch 1 and sc across the final row. Fasten off and weave in the end.
Attach the Button: Sew a button onto the front of the phone case, right below where the buttonhole on the flap will land.

Finishing Touches

Strap: You can add a strap to your case so you can carry it around your neck or wrist. Simply ch a long chain, then sl st back down the chain to make it sturdier. Sew each end of the strap to the sides of your case.
Embellishments: Get creative! You can add a small crocheted flower, a shell stitch border, or some beads for a unique look.
