Crochet a Sweet Treat: The “Kissable Lips“ Phone Bag Charm Tutorial292


Hello, fellow crocheters! Today, we're diving into a fun and flirty project: a charming phone bag charm shaped like adorable, kissable lips! This tutorial will guide you through creating your own unique "Kissable Lips" phone bag charm using simple crochet stitches. Whether you're a seasoned crocheter or a beginner looking for a fun challenge, this pattern is perfect for you. Prepare to add a touch of playful personality to your phone and your everyday style!

Materials You'll Need:
Yarn: Two contrasting colors of your choice. We recommend a soft, lightweight yarn like cotton or acrylic for comfort and durability. For example, you could use a red or pink for the lips and a nude or beige for the outline. Approximately 20-30 yards total should be sufficient.
Crochet Hook: Choose a hook size appropriate for your yarn weight. The yarn label will usually recommend a hook size. A 3.5mm or 4mm hook is a good starting point for most yarns.
Scissors: To cut your yarn.
Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends.
Stitch Markers (optional): To mark rounds or significant points in the pattern.
Stuffing (optional): Poly-fil or similar stuffing material for added dimension. If you want a plump lip look, stuffing is recommended.
Small Chain or Ring (for attachment): You will need something to attach this charm to your phone case. This could be a small chain, a key ring, or a lobster clasp.

Part 2: The Lower Lip
With the same color as the upper lip, ch 6. Sl st to the first ch to form a ring.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in the ring (6 sc)
Rnd 2: inc in each st around (12 sc)

Part 3: Assembling the Lips
Place the upper lip piece on top of the lower lip piece slightly overlapping the edges.
Using your yarn needle and the tail from the upper lip, carefully sew the two pieces together around the edges, creating a seamless lip shape. If using stuffing, add it before closing the seam completely to achieve a fuller lip.
With your contrasting color (e.g., nude or beige), crochet a simple outline around the entire lip shape using slip stitches. This will give your lips definition and a polished look.
Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.
Attach your small chain or ring to the back of the lips to create a hanger for your phone.


Customization and Variations:

This pattern is a great starting point for creativity! Experiment with different yarn colors and textures to create unique lip shades. You can also adjust the number of rounds to change the size of your lips. For a more 3D effect, try adding a small amount of stuffing to each lip section before seaming them together. Consider adding small details like a subtle highlight with a lighter shade of yarn or adding a playful bow for extra flair.

Tips for Success:
Work at a consistent tension throughout the project to ensure even stitches and a neat finish.
Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds, particularly when working in the round.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different yarn colors and textures.
If you're a beginner, take your time and don't be afraid to unravel and redo sections if needed.
