This is a very simple phone case pattern which I created last year, simply by crocheting round my own phone!
It only takes about an hour to make, and ends up with a quite chunky feel which adds an extra protective cushioning layer for when you drop your phone.. which I have done many times (both accidentally and on purpose), and so far without breaking! Although I’ve not dropped it from any great height..
The rib stitch is one of my favourites; it’s really easy to do, and it gives a nice look and feel to simple shapes and items.
To make this phone case you need any double-knitting wool or yarn, or chunkier if you prefer.
3.5mm crochet hook.
Pattern as described fits a phone 62mm x 122mm x 8mm (W x H x D). To modify the size, increase or decrease the starting chain by 2 stitches at a time (always have an even number of stitches in the starting chain).
Working in the round, do not turn at the end of each round.
