Scissors
Yarn Needle (for weaving in ends)

Stitch Markers (optional, but highly recommended for keeping track of your stitches)
Safety Pins (optional, for holding pieces together before seaming)

Getting Started: Measuring Your Phone

Before we dive into the pattern, it's vital to accurately measure your phone. Measure the length and width of your phone, adding about ½ inch to each measurement to allow for a snug fit and seam allowance. This extra space will ensure your phone doesn't feel cramped inside the case.

The Bunny Body:

This pattern assumes a phone approximately 6 inches long and 3 inches wide. Adjust accordingly based on your measurements. We will be working in rows for the body to make it easier to customize to your phone’s dimensions.
Foundation Chain: Ch 30 (adjust based on your phone's width).
Row 1: Sc in the second ch from the hook and in each ch across. (29 sc)
Rows 2-12: Ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across. (29 sc)
Rows 13-18: This will be the bunny's tummy portion. Ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch across. (29sc). You can decrease the number of rows for a shorter phone case.
Rows 19-24: Ch 1, turn, sc across, decreasing in both ends. (27sc)
Rows 25-28: Repeat Row 19-24 (Decreasing in both ends)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

The Bunny Ears:
Chain: Ch 10
Row 1: Sc in the second ch from the hook and in each ch across. (9 sc)
Row 2-3: Ch 1, turn, sc in each sc across. (9 sc)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
Make another ear using the same instructions


Assembling Your Bunny Phone Case:

Once you've completed the body and ears, it's time to assemble your adorable creation.
Sewing the Ears: Using your yarn needle and the remaining tails from the ears, sew the ears onto the top of the bunny body, one on each side.
Seaming the Body: Using the long tail from the body, carefully seam the short sides together using a slip stitch. Make sure it fits your phone snuggly.
Adding Details (Optional): You can embellish your bunny case with embroidery, adding details like eyes, a nose, and whiskers using white or black yarn.


Tips and Tricks:
Gauge: While this pattern provides a general guide, it's essential to check your gauge. Crochet a small swatch using your chosen yarn and hook to ensure your stitches match the pattern's dimensions.
Yarn Choice: Consider using a washable yarn for easy cleaning.
Blocking: After completing the case, you can gently block it to give it a neater, more professional look. Blocking helps to even out stitches and relax the fabric.
Personalization: Don't hesitate to personalize your bunny phone case! Add buttons, ribbons, or other embellishments to create a truly unique accessory.

Beyond the Basics:

This pattern is a fantastic starting point for your crocheted phone case adventures. Once you've mastered the bunny, you can experiment with different shapes, colors, and designs. Try crocheting a flower-themed case, a geometric design, or even incorporate your favorite characters into your creation. The possibilities are endless!
