The Crochet Pattern! (Step-by-Step Instructions)

Step 1: Foundation and Base

1. Make a Slip Knot
   • Place slip knot on hook.
2. Chain Base
   • Ch 21, or enough stitches to match the width of your phone (must be even for symmetry).
3. First Row:
   • Sc in the second ch from hook and in each ch across. (You will have 20 sc for a 21-ch base.)
   • Ch 1, turn your work.

Step 2: Working the Case Body

4. Rows 2–42 (or until desired length):
   • Sc into each st across.
   • At end of each row, ch 1 and turn.
   • Continue until the length is double your phone height (for a simple fold-over pouch). You should have about 42 rows for a typical phone.
5. Secure Last Row:
   • After the final row, fold the piece in half so the base chain aligns with your last row.

Step 3: Side Seaming

6. Seaming the Sides:
   • Using slip stitch or whipstitch and the yarn needle, sew the two side edges together, making sure the stitches are matched evenly.
   • Leave the top edge open for the phone to be inserted.

Step 4: Creating the Opening/Edging

7. Round Top Edge (Optional):
   • For a neater finish, reattach yarn at the side seam and work 1 round of sc evenly around the top edge.
   • Slip stitch to join at starting point.

Step 5: Optional Chain Strap or Loop

8. Making a Chain Strap or Loop:
   • Ch 21 (or desired length for the strap).
   • Attach to the top corner of your pouch with a slip stitch.
   • For a full wristlet, ch longer as preferred.
   • To reinforce, work dc back along the chain: ch 2, turn, dc in each ch to the base, attach with sl st to pouch.

Step 6: Optional Double Crochet Accent (Top Edge)

9. Double Crochet Edging:
   • With yarn attached at edge, ch 2.
   • Dc evenly all the way around the opening.
   • Sl st to starting dc to join.
   • Fasten off, weave in ends.

Assembly & Finished Size

• Fold crocheted rectangle in half and seam both sides from base to top, leaving the opening unsewn.
• Add a strap or loop as desired for easy carrying.
• Case will be snug, stretching comfortably to fit your phone.
• Top edge and strap can be finished with double crochet or additional single crochet rounds.
• Weave in all ends with yarn needle for a clean result.

You now have a simple, custom-sized crochet cellphone case. Enjoy your new project—or gift it to a friend! For beginners, this is the perfect opportunity to practice your single and double crochet stitches, as well as simple shaping and finishing skills.
