How to Crochet a Cell Phone Case or Pouch Crochet Pattern

After checking what was available in stores for cell phone cases. I decided to save some money and crochet a cell phone case that was exactly what I needed and required for my phone.

A cell phone case is an easy item to crochet. First crochet a rectangle to the size of your cell phone and fold it in half. Crochet around the ends and decide whether you want an open case or a case you want to fold over flap to close. You can add a button to make the case close or use an open look like the one in the photo.

I choose to crochet mine leaving the top open instead of enclosed so that I am able to get my phone out quicker. The case was made to protect my phone while inside my purse or pocket. My phone is an LG that measures 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" but you can make your cell phone case in any size to fit any style phone. Also, you can add a handle, belt hook, key chain to make it easy to carry.

The choice of yarn and crochet hook size will determine the size and thickness of your case. Choose a durable yarn that will be easy to work with and a color that you like. A medium size crochet hook such as a size G or H works well for all cases. For tighter stitches use a smaller crochet hook and for larger stitches use a larger hook.

Materials:

Worsted weight Yarn - 1 Ounce approximately - Your choice of color

Crochet Hook - Size will depend on how large or small of a stitch you require

The cell phone case fits many sizes of phones.  As you crochet your case keep your phone with you to get the exact measurements of the finished product.  This case is for a phone 5.6" x 3.5" high.
