The delightful butterfly bow adds a touch of feminine elegance or playful charm, depending on your yarn choices and color combinations. Get ready to unleash your creativity and let's get started!

Materials You'll Need:

Before we begin, gather these essential materials:
Yarn: Choose your favorite yarn weight. Worsted weight (medium) is a great option for this project, providing a good balance of texture and workability. Consider using two contrasting colors: one for the phone cozy base and another for the butterfly bow. Approximately 50-75 yards total should suffice.
Crochet Hook: Select a hook size appropriate for your chosen yarn weight. The yarn label will usually recommend a hook size.
Scissors: To snip your yarn.
Yarn Needle: For weaving in the ends.
Measuring Tape: Helpful for ensuring consistent sizing.
Phone: To measure your phone's dimensions.

Abbreviations:

To make the instructions easier to follow, we'll use standard crochet abbreviations:
ch: chain
sl st: slip stitch
sc: single crochet
inc: increase (2 sc in one stitch)
dec: decrease (work 2 sc together)

Instructions: The Phone Cozy Base

Round 1: With your chosen base color, make a magic ring (or a chain 4 and slip stitch to form a ring). Sc 6 into the ring. (6 sc)

Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 sc)

Round 3: *(sc in next st, inc)* repeat around. (18 sc)

Round 4-8: Sc in each stitch around. (18 sc)

Note: At this point, measure the height of your phone. Continue adding rounds until the height is approximately the same as your phone's height. Adjust the number of rounds as needed to achieve a snug fit. Remember to keep your stitches consistent to create a uniform fabric.

Round 9 (and subsequent rounds if needed): Sc in each stitch around. Once you reach the desired height, fasten off, leaving a long tail for seaming.

Instructions: The Butterfly Bow

Part 1: The Bow Loops

With your contrasting color, chain a length approximately twice the width of your phone. This will form the loop of the bow. Chain 20 (adjust as needed depending on phone size). You’ll need two of these loops.

Part 2: Connecting the Loops

With your loops completed, fold one loop in half and join them together, creating the basic shape of a bow. With your yarn needle, carefully weave in the end of the chain, ensuring that the two loops are secured together nicely to keep them in place.

Part 3: Attaching the Bow

Once you’ve finished the bow loops and created the bow structure, carefully sew or crochet the bow to the top of your phone cozy, ensuring it is positioned centrally.

Finishing Touches:

Weave in all loose ends securely. You can use a yarn needle to carefully thread the ends through the back of your work and tie them off. This will prevent them from unraveling and create a clean finish.

Adding Personalization:

This is where your creativity can truly shine! Consider these fun additions:
Embroidery: Add a name or initial to personalize the cozy.
Beads or Buttons: Attach small embellishments to the bow or the cozy itself.
Different Yarn Textures: Experiment with different yarn weights and textures for a unique look.
Color Combinations: Explore various color combinations to match your personal style.

And there you have it! Your handmade crocheted butterfly bow phone cozy is complete. Enjoy its adorable charm and the peace of mind knowing your phone is safely tucked away and looking fabulous.
