• Yarn: Choose a medium-weight yarn such as worsted weight (4). Cotton yarn is a great option for durability, but you can use any yarn that suits your personal style. For a standard phone holder, you will need approximately 100 yards of yarn, depending on your phone’s size.
• Crochet Hook: A 5.5mm (I-9) hook is typically recommended for worsted weight yarn, but make sure to check your yarn label for the recommended hook size. The right hook will ensure that your stitches are neither too tight nor too loose.
• Yarn Needle: You’ll need a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends after you complete your phone holder.
• Scissors: To cut the yarn after finishing each step or at the end of your project.
• Stitch Markers: These can be helpful for marking the beginning of rounds or rows to ensure your work stays consistent.
• Optional: A button or a decorative clasp to close the phone holder, or to add extra functionality.

Now that you have all your materials ready, let’s move on to crocheting the cell phone holder itself!

2. How to Crochet the Cell Phone Holder

Creating the Crochet Cell Phone Holder involves working in the round to form a pouch that fits your phone securely. Here’s how to crochet it step by step:

1. Make a foundation chain: Start by chaining 20-25 stitches, depending on your phone’s size. This will create the base width of the pouch. You can always adjust this number as needed for a snug fit.
2. Work in the round: Join the foundation chain into a ring with a slip stitch, making sure to crochet in the round. This will form the base of your phone holder. From here, you’ll work in continuous rounds without turning your work.
3. Crochet the body: Begin by crocheting single crochet (sc) stitches around the ring. Work in rounds, adding more rows to create the sides of the pouch. Continue until the pouch is tall enough to cover your phone completely, leaving a little extra room for ease of use. You’ll typically want to crochet at least 6-8 rows, but you can adjust the height depending on your preferences.
4. Shaping the top edge: To finish the top edge of your phone holder, you can work a few rounds of half double crochet (hdc) to create a more structured and sturdy top. This will help the phone holder maintain its shape while also providing extra durability.
5. Add the strap: For the strap, chain 40-50 stitches (depending on how long you want the strap to be) and attach it to the sides of the phone holder. You can crochet back and forth in rows of single crochet or half double crochet, depending on the thickness of strap you want. Once your strap is the desired length, attach it securely to the other side of the pouch.
6. Optional button or clasp: For added functionality, sew a button to the front flap of your phone holder. You can create a small flap at the top and secure it with a button or a snap clasp. This will ensure your phone stays safe inside the holder.

Once you’ve finished these steps, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using your yarn needle.

3. Customizing Your Crochet Cell Phone Holder

One of the best things about making a crochet cell phone holder is the ability to personalize it with your own colors and designs. Here are some ideas for adding your own personal touch:

1. Add a pop of color: Use different colored yarns for the body, strap, and decorative button. You can alternate colors between rounds or add stripes to create a fun and unique look.
2. Use different stitches: Experiment with different crochet stitches like the bobble stitch, shell stitch, or crossed double crochet to create interesting textures. For example, you could crochet the body of the phone holder in single crochet and the strap in half double crochet for a subtle contrast.
3. Add embellishments: If you want to make your phone holder extra special, consider adding embellishments such as crochet flowers, appliqué designs, or embossed initials. These can add a personal touch and make your holder stand out.
4. Decorative closures: Instead of a button, try adding a decorative clasp or magnetic snap for a modern look. A fun pom-pom or tassel could also be added for an extra flair.
5. Add a lining: If you want extra protection for your phone, consider lining the inside of your phone holder with fabric. This will keep your phone safe from scratches and add an extra layer of style.

By customizing your Crochet Cell Phone Holder, you’ll end up with a one-of-a-kind accessory that is functional and uniquely yours.

4. Tips and Tricks for a Perfect Crochet Cell Phone Holder

As you work on your crochet cell phone holder, here are some helpful tips to ensure that your project turns out beautifully:

1. Gauge matters: Make sure your stitches are even and that the phone holder fits your phone properly. If the holder feels too tight or loose, adjust your stitch tension or the number of stitches in the foundation chain.
2. Use the right yarn: Choose a yarn that has a bit of stretch to it. Cotton is a popular choice because it holds its shape well, but if you want more elasticity, opt for a yarn with a blend of acrylic and nylon.
3. Secure the strap: When attaching the strap to the pouch, make sure it’s securely fastened so that it doesn’t come loose when you’re carrying your phone. Reinforce the attachment by stitching it multiple times for extra durability.
4. Consider your phone’s size: Before starting, measure your phone to ensure the pouch will fit. Adjust the foundation chain and body height accordingly to create a snug, secure fit.
5. Keep the top open: Leave a small opening at the top of the phone holder to make it easier to slide your phone in and out of the pouch. If you add a button or closure, make sure it doesn’t make it too difficult to access your phone.
6. Experiment with texture: Don’t be afraid to try different stitch combinations or textures. For example, use a herringbone stitch or basket weave pattern to add a unique texture to the phone holder that complements your style.

With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating a beautiful and functional Crochet Cell Phone Holder that will last for years to come.
