Description
This How To Crochet Bow Phone Case For Beginners pattern has that satisfying shape: a simple crocheted sleeve, a softly raised bow, and a little rhythm that feels manageable on a couch, porch, or kitchen chair.
Ingredients
- 120 yards of worsted weight yarn (weight 4, medium), 100% cotton or a cotton blend
- One H-8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
- Yarn needle with a blunt tip for sewing the sides and weaving in the ends
- Small scissors
- Tape measure
- One stitch marker (optional)
Instructions
- Check the difficulty and stitch multiple. This is an easy project with a 2-stitch multiple.
- With your H-8 (5.0 mm) hook, chain 22.
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the third chain from the hook, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through all three loops on the hook to make one half double crochet. Repeat across the chain for 20 hdc. Chain 2 and turn.
- Work one hdc in the first stitch and in each stitch across. The chain 2 counts only as a turning chain and does not count as a stitch. Chain 2 and turn at the end of every row. Repeat until you have 15 rows total, with 20 hdc in each row.
- Lay the rectangle flat without stretching it. It should measure about 4 inches wide by 6 inches tall (10 cm by 15 cm).
- Place the wrong side facing you and fold the bottom edge upward so the two side edges meet. Match the rows carefully before sewing.
- Thread your yarn needle with a long yarn tail. Use a whip stitch or mattress stitch through both layers, working from the bottom corner to the top on one side. Repeat on the other side, then fasten off.
- Chain 15. Work 14 sc across the chain, then chain 1 and turn.
- Work 4 rows of 14 sc, chaining 1 and turning after each row.
- Pinch the strip at its center so the two ends fan outward. With a separate length of yarn, wrap the middle several times until it looks like a small bow, then knot the yarn securely on the back.
- Place the bow near the upper front of the case, about 1 inch below the opening. Sew through the center wrap and into the case several times.
- Weave in the ends by changing direction through several stitches, then trim the yarn close to the fabric.
