Materials You’ll Need

• Yarn (cotton, worsted/medium #4):

  • Main color (case): 30–50 g (beige in the sample)

  • Red (rose): 10–15 g

  • Green (leaves & stem): 10 g

• Hook: 3.5 mm (E-4) for a dense fabric; if you crochet loosely, use 3.25 mm

• Notions: tapestry needle, scissors, 4 stitch markers, optional thin silicone case (liner)

• Optional: small amount of fabric glue for extra security on appliqués

---

Gauge

• Worked in sc, in the round: 18 sts × 22 rows = 4″ (10 cm)

• Phone cases need negative ease (snug fit). If your gauge is looser, go down a hook size.

---

Measurements & Fit

This is a made-to-measure pattern with an example for a 6.1″ phone (iPhone 13/14).

1. Measure your phone width and thickness.

2. Foundation chain length = phone width + thickness − 0.3–0.5 cm (for snug fit).

3. Example: For a 6.1″ iPhone (approx. 7.1 cm wide × 0.75 cm thick), a chain of 18–20 ch works with the given gauge.

---

Abbreviations (US Terms)

ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, tr = treble, sk = skip, st(s) = stitch(es), RS = right side, WS = wrong side, rep = repeat, pm = place marker.

Step-by-Step Instructions – Crochet Phone Case with 3D Rose

Notes Before You Start

• Work the case in a spiral (do not join rounds) unless stated.

• Use a marker at the first stitch of each round and move it up as you go.

• Two finishing options:
  A. Easy sleeve (open top)
  B. With camera window (as shown in photo)

---

Part 1 — Phone Case (Base)

Foundation & Round 1 – Oval Base

• Chain the length you calculated (e.g., ch 19).

• Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch to last ch; 3 sc in last ch to turn.

• Continue on underside of the chain: sc in each ch to starting end; 2 sc in same ch as first sc to round the second corner.

• You now have an oval. Pm in first sc to track the spiral.

Round 2

• Sc around, placing increases only at both ends: in each of the 3 end stitches, work 2 sc.

• Long sides: 1 sc in each st.

Round 3

• Repeat Round 2 (increase only at the 3 end sts on each end).

Stop increasing once the oval matches your phone’s bottom outline.

Rounds 4–? (Side Walls)

• Sc in each st around without increases until the height is 0.5–1 cm below the top of your phone.

Tightening Round (optional)

• [Sc in next 7 sts, sc2tog] repeat around (adjust multiple to your stitch count).

Choose Your Finish

Option A — Easy Sleeve (Open Top)

1. Top Edge: Work 1 round of sl st (loosely) or reverse sc (crab stitch).

2. Fasten off, weave ends.

3. Jump to Part 2 (Rose & Leaves).

Option B — With Camera Window

1. Mark the window with stitch markers (4 corners). For most recent iPhones, a 3–3.5 cm square works well.

2. Window starts 2–3 rounds below top edge.

3. Sc to Marker A (lower-left of window). Chain W (width in stitches — usually 10–12 ch for 3–3.5 cm).

4. Skip W sts on body, sc in next st (this creates lower edge of the window).

5. Continue round in sc. On next round, sc into each ch across the bridge.

6. Work 2–3 more rounds, always sc-ing across bridge stitches.

7. Top Edge: Finish with reverse sc (crab stitch) around entire top edge.

8. Optional: To round the corners, work 1 final sl st round around the window opening.
