- H-8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook

Instructions
- Make a foundation chain of 31 chains.
- Row 1: Work 1 half double crochet (hdc) in each chain across, then chain 1 and turn.
- Rows 2 through 18: Work 1 hdc in each stitch across, then chain 1 and turn after every row.
- Continue Rows 19 through 34 in the same way, working 1 hdc in each stitch across.
- At the end of Row 34, fasten off by cutting the yarn and pulling the tail through the final loop.
- Fold the lower part of the rectangle upward to create a pocket.
- Sew the two side seams with small, even whip stitches.
- Shape the flap by folding the remaining upper section over the phone pocket and mark the button position.
- Sew the button firmly through the front layer.
- Make the button loop by chaining 8, then slip stitching back into the same edge area.
- Weave in the ends with the yarn needle and trim the tails.
- Block the case only if needed to settle into shape.
Notes
For a more personal touch, consider adding a small photo insert behind the front pocket. Adjustments can be made to yarn type or hook size if desired for different drapes or fits.
