Easy crochet case pattern for any cell phone!

Hi!

Slowly temperature is falling in entire north India. It is time to take out our woolens  For crochet lover like me, November is the time to pick up the hook and shape the yarn in something interesting!

I wanted to make woolen sleeve cover for my relatives and friends as a gift so, I tried searching internet for pattern. Some of them were too specific with crochet hook size to be used, yarn/wool specifications like crochet tension, 2ply, 4ply etc. Such details turned out totally confusing for me.

 I have had few beautiful left over woolen balls from previous projects. So, I made these free styled cell phone case. It took two days leisure time to complete these small projects!

Here are some tips for you to make simple cell phone cozies!

Make a chain as long as the width of your cell phone. You should be able to slide your cell phone once you join the chain and make a loop as shown in the figure below.

For the next round make Single Crochet in each chain. Once you complete your round do not join but, continue making single crochet in each stitch. Continue crocheting till you reach the length of your cell phone.

Turn the work inside out. Now, here is my own trick to make the bottom of the case.

Leave the outside loops and grab only inside loops on to the hook from top most ring of your crochet work.Join inside loops of each parallel stitches with a slip stitch!

Turn your work and your own cell phone cozy is ready!

I did some embroidery using yellow and green wool.

I also enjoyed making stripes on another cell phone cozy!Thanks to a wonderful tutorial found here for seam color change in making these beautiful stripes. 

I tried one more Bottle green colored cell phone cozy and made some leaves for camouflage style!  

        

 Finally, I can say that I enjoyed making these tiny projects especially bottoms of these cozies!
