Crochet Biscuit Phone Case Cozy: Part Two – Shaping and Finishing71

Welcome back, crocheters! In Part One of this tutorial, we learned how to create the base of our adorable biscuit phone case cozy. Now, in Part Two, we'll focus on shaping the cozy to fit your phone perfectly and adding those final, charming details. Remember to adjust your stitch count and yarn weight based on your phone's dimensions and your personal preference. This tutorial assumes you've already completed the base from Part One. Let's get baking!

Step 1: Shaping the Sides

Before we begin, let's take a look at your crocheted rectangle. You should have a nice, even fabric. Now, we're going to start shaping the sides to create the snug fit for your phone. We will be working in single crochet (sc) for this section. This keeps the fabric firm and prevents stretching.

Begin by turning your work. We'll work along one of the longer edges of the rectangle. In the first stitch of this row, work 2 sc. Then, work 1 sc in each stitch across the row until you reach the last stitch. In the last stitch, work 2 sc. This increases the number of stitches, making the side curve inward. You should now have two more stitches than you had before.

Continue working rows in this manner. Each row will start with 2 sc in the first stitch and end with 2 sc in the last stitch. Keep working until you reach approximately one third of the height of your phone. The number of rows needed here will vary greatly depending on the size of your phone and the thickness of your yarn. Remember to periodically check the fit against your phone.

Step 2: Creating the "Biscuit" Top

Now, we'll create the slightly rounded top edge of our biscuit. Once you've completed the side shaping for approximately one-third the phone's height, we'll switch to a decreasing technique. We'll be using single crochet decreases (sc2tog). This decreases the number of stitches, creating the rounded effect.

In this row, instead of increasing at the beginning and end, we will decrease. Work one sc in each stitch until you reach the last two stitches. Work a sc2tog. Turn your work. The next row will only begin with a sc in the first stitch, continue working sc's and finish with a sc2tog in the last two stitches. Repeat this until you only have a few stitches left. This creates the slightly domed top of the biscuit.

Step 3: Finishing the Second Side

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on the opposite long edge of the rectangle. Remember to keep checking the fit against your phone throughout this process. You want a snug fit, but not so tight that it's difficult to get your phone in and out.

Step 4: Creating the Bottom Flap (Optional)

For added security, you can create a small flap for the bottom of your phone cozy. This is especially useful for phones with buttons on the side. To do this, simply continue crocheting in single crochet along the remaining unworked edge of the rectangle for about an inch or two, depending on your phone’s size. Fasten off and weave in your ends.

Step 5: Adding the Details

Now for the fun part! Let’s add some details to make our biscuit phone case cozy truly delightful. You can use a contrasting color yarn to embroider simple lines to mimic the cracks on a biscuit. Alternatively, you can use small buttons or beads to create a more decorative look. Get creative!

Step 6: Fastening Off and Weaving in Ends

Once you're happy with your biscuit phone case cozy, carefully fasten off your yarn, leaving a tail long enough to weave in your ends securely. Weave in all loose ends to create a clean, professional finish. This prevents them from unraveling and keeps your cozy looking its best.

Tips and Variations

• Yarn Choice: Use a medium-weight yarn for a cozy that's both sturdy and comfortable. Experiment with different colors and textures to achieve your desired look.

• Hook Size: Choose a hook size appropriate for your chosen yarn. The tension should be even and not too loose or too tight.

• Phone Size: Before starting, measure your phone carefully to ensure you create a cozy that fits snugly.

• Embellishments: Get creative with embellishments! Use buttons, beads, embroidery, or even small charms to personalize your biscuit phone case cozy.

• Different Stitches: While this tutorial uses single crochet, you can experiment with other stitches like half double crochet (hdc) for a slightly different texture.

And there you have it! Your adorable crocheted biscuit phone case cozy is complete. Enjoy showcasing your unique creation and keeping your phone safe and stylish. Don't forget to share your finished projects with us using #biscuitphonecasecozy! Happy crocheting!
