Crocheted phone case - a cozy DIY accessory

Today everyone has a mobile phone or a smartphone, even very young children, this is an essential attribute of modern life. The functionality of the device matters at the stage of its selection, but the aesthetic side of the issue shows itself already during operation. Phones are scratched, bruised, and a convenient case is essential to keep them safe. You can always buy a ready-made accessory in the store, but it will be much more pleasant to use a thing that is made with your own hands, for example, a knitted cover.

Crochet Cover Knitting Tools

It doesn't take much to create a mobile phone case, just take care of the material and tool:

• Yarn. For knitting a cover, it is better to abandon the use of thin threads - in this case, the protective function of the product will not be fully performed. Also, you should not use a purely cotton or woolen thread - the first will not stretch at all, and the second, on the contrary, threatens to deform the cover during operation. The best option would be threads with a thickness of 300 meters per 100 grams, made of acrylic or acrylic with impurities of natural fibers (cotton, wool). You can choose any color based on your preferences, but do not forget that phones are used actively and a light product will often get dirty.

• Hook. The selection of the hook should be done after the thread has been selected. It will be enough to look at the yarn label - there will be indicated the recommended tool size. When buying a hook, pay attention that it does not have a too sharp end, otherwise the finger leading the thread will suffer greatly during operation. Most needlewomen are most comfortable using metal tools with a wooden or plastic handle.

  

  The hook must be selected according to the directions on the yarn.

Additionally, it is worth acquiring various decorative elements, because the finished product can be decorated.

How to tie a phone case

You need to start work on the cover by studying the scheme and taking measurements. So, there are two ways to make a product:

• tie the pipe, and at the end connect one edge of it with single crochet columns;
• start knitting from the bottom of the cover and continue it in a circle.

In the first method, the thickness of the phone will not be taken into account at the bottom of the case, and when putting on the corners will be sharp and not very attractive to stick out. Therefore, it is better to resort to the second way and start knitting from the bottom.

To knit a phone case, you need only knowledge of air loops and single crochet

According to the presented scheme, knitting should go according to the following algorithm:

1. You need to dial a chain of air loops. The length of the chain will depend on the width of the phone, to which you need to add approximately 0.5 cm for the ease of use of the case.

2. Next, you need to tie the resulting chain in a circle with single crochets, adding one at a time at turns.

   

   The cover is knitted with single crochet in a circle

3. The 3rd circle is knitted in the same way, but at the turn you need to make not one single crochet, but 4. At this stage, be careful and focus on the thickness of the phone - if it is small, then 2-3 columns at the turn may be enough.

   

   The cover is knitted in a circle without any reductions or additions until the desired length is achieved

4. Further knitting in a circle involves repeating the 3rd circle until the desired length of the product is obtained. You can use threads of different colors, changing them during knitting - this is how you get a striped fabric.

When the cover is ready, you need to think about the fastener. It may not be there at all, but you can use a button or button. If desired, on the back side of the cover, you can impose a strip of single crochet posts, which would overlap the top and go to the front of the cover, and put a button on it. A chain of air loops fixed with a loop will be enough for a button.

My friend is engaged in knitting products for sale, and she does not create clothes. In our city, unusual knitted covers made it popular and in demand. Her tables on inserts were full of the most original accessories - a cover in the form of a minion, with a pug, an owl cover, etc. I myself became the proud owner of a cover in the form of my favorite cartoon character - Homer Simpson.

Cover decoration options

When the base is ready, you can start decorating. Here, you can not limit your imagination using different techniques:

• To impose additional elements and sew them on the base. So you can create a cover in the form of an animal's face or just with colored knitted circles. The decor may well go beyond the cover itself, for example, you can make paws or ears.
• Sew decorative felt elements. This material does not crumble along the edge and is easy to cut, so you can create an excellent applique from it.
• Make embroidery with beads, attach beads, thorns, etc. Here it is worth using small-sized elements so that the cover is convenient to use.
• Make tassels from bundles of thread.
