Crochet Long Wallet Phone Case: A Step-by-Step Guide33

This comprehensive guide will walk you through crocheting your own stylish and practical long wallet phone case. Perfect for keeping your essentials organized and your phone safe, this project is surprisingly easy, even for beginner crocheters. We'll cover everything from choosing the right yarn and hook to finishing techniques, ensuring you create a beautiful and functional accessory.

Materials You'll Need:

Before we begin, gather your materials. The quantities will depend on the size of your phone and your desired case thickness. It's always better to have a little extra yarn than to run short!
Yarn: Choose a worsted weight yarn that's durable and easy to work with. Acrylic yarn is a great option for its affordability and easy care. Consider a color that complements your style and existing accessories. Approximately 100-150 yards should be sufficient, depending on the size.
Crochet Hook: Select a hook size appropriate for your chosen yarn. The yarn label will usually provide a recommended hook size. A 5mm or H/8 hook is a good starting point for worsted weight yarn.
Scissors: To cut your yarn.
Yarn Needle: For weaving in the ends.
Measuring Tape: To ensure your case fits your phone perfectly.
Optional: Stitch Markers, to keep track of your stitches.
Optional: Buttons, zippers, or other embellishments for added personalization.

Gauge:

While not crucial for this project, determining your gauge (stitches and rows per inch) can help ensure your finished case is the right size. Create a small swatch using your chosen yarn and hook, and count your stitches and rows.

Pattern Instructions:

This pattern is written for a standard smartphone, but you can easily adjust the dimensions to fit your specific phone. Remember to measure your phone before starting.

Part 1: The Case Body
Foundation Chain: Chain a number of stitches equal to the width of your phone plus 2 inches (5 cm) for seam allowance. For example, if your phone is 3 inches wide, chain 5 inches (12.5cm).
Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn.
Rows 2- (Height of Phone + 2 inches): Sc in each stitch across. Turn at the end of each row.

Note: The height should be the height of your phone plus 2 inches for seam allowance. Adjust the number of rows accordingly.

Part 2: The Flap (Optional)
Foundation Chain: Chain a number of stitches equal to the width of your phone plus 1 inch (2.5 cm) for seam allowance.
Rows 1- (Height of Flap): Sc in each stitch across. The height should be approximately 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm), depending on your preference.

Part 3: Assembly
Seaming: Fold the case body in half, right sides facing. Using a slip stitch or single crochet, seam along the sides, leaving the top open. If using a flap, attach it to the top edge of the case body before closing the top seam.
Finishing: Weave in all loose ends securely. You can add buttons, zippers, or other embellishments at this stage, if desired.

Tips and Variations:
For a sturdier case: Use a heavier weight yarn or double the yarn over when crocheting.
Add lining: For extra protection, sew a fabric lining inside the crocheted case.
Experiment with stitch patterns: Try different crochet stitches, such as half double crochet or double crochet, to create texture and visual interest.
Embellishments: Add beads, buttons, or other embellishments to personalize your case.
Consider different shapes: This pattern can be adapted to create different shapes and sizes.

Troubleshooting:
Uneven stitches: Make sure you are working consistently and not skipping or adding stitches.
Loose stitches: Check your tension and make sure your stitches are firm but not too tight.
Size issues: Measure your phone carefully before starting, and adjust the pattern accordingly.

This detailed guide provides a foundation for creating your own unique long wallet phone case. Remember to adapt the measurements to your specific phone and personal style. Happy crocheting!
