Cell Phone Case Pattern

A friend of mine asked me to make him a cell  phone case for his Blackberry. So this is how I did it. There are no exact measurements or stitch counts. It all depends on the size of your phone or whatever you decide to put in the case. This would be good for an IPOD too. I had to use another case for my measurements since I didn't have the phone.

Materials:

• worsted weight yarn
• size F hook
• velcro (sticky or sew on)
• a phone for perfect measurements

 

Abbreviations:

•  hdc = half double crochet
•  st = stitch
•  ea = each
•  ch = chain

Pattern:


Make a chain that goes across your phone, plus 1. Mine came out to 15 chains.

hdc in second ch from hook and in ea st across.
make a second hdc in the last st.
hdc in the next st and ea st across on the other side of the ch.
it should look like this

do not join. hdc in next hdc and ea st around.
the corners will bunch up which is what we want. 

just push the corner in towards you so you can continue crocheting on the outside of the case.

continue with hdc in ea st, spiraling around until it is the length of your phone. do not fasten off.

now we'll make the the flap. 
hdc in ea st across the back of the case.
ch 1 and turn.

hdc in ea st back down the row.
my count here was 12 sts, yours may be different.

ch 1 and turn.
continue making rows with the same amount of stitches until your flap is as long as you want it.

fasten off. 
to close the case, I used sticky back Velcro. You can use a snap or button or leave it as is. 

I cut about 2 inches of the felt part, rounded it off and stuck it on the case. Then I cut a smaller piece of the other part and stuck that on the flap. I made the flap piece smaller because if the little hooks catch on the yarn it will eventually get all fuzzy and felted. 

Here is a pic of the first case I made for my own phone. It is old, dirty and beat up, but it still does the job. The Velcro looks much better on the black because it blends in. I think a button would have been cuter for the blue one, but I don't think my friend was going for cute.

 I love seeing finished products from my patterns. If you want to be featured on my blog with your finished items, just shoot me an email. If you don't want to be featured but still want to send me pics, that's great too! Just let me know in the email if you want me to post your pics or not.
