Step-by-Step Details
Step 1: Starting with Foundation Chains
- Begin by creating 21 chains as the foundation base for the phone case.
- The tutor emphasizes proper tension while forming the chains to avoid tightness or looseness that could affect the structure later.
Step 2: Working Single Crochet into Chains
- Insert the hook into a chain, yarn over, and pull through the loop.
- Yarn over again and pull through the two loops now on the hook.
- Repeat this process to create 42 single crochet stitches in the first row.
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of the initial chain.
Step 3: Building Additional Rows
- Repeat the single crochet stitch along each subsequent chain to add rows, following the same process.
- Ensure consistency in tension across rows to keep the phone case symmetrical and neat.
Step 4: Transitioning to Double Crochet Stitches
- Yarn over before inserting the hook into a chain.
- Pull through the loop, yarn over again, and pull through the first two loops on the hook.
- Yarn over once more and pull through the final two loops on the hook to complete the double crochet stitch.
- Use this technique to make double crochet stitches across the width of the piece where required for design variation or additional coverage.
Step 5: Completing the Phone Case
- Continue crocheting until the piece reaches the desired size to fit around the phone.
- Seam the edges together by crocheting or sewing, creating a sturdy enclosure for the case.
