Crochet Phone Holder Tutorial
The tutorial on the Clean Its YouTube channel provides a step-by-step guide to making a simple yet functional crochet phone holder using three-ply yarn and a 3mm crochet hook. The video is designed for beginner crafters, offering straightforward instructions and flexibility to use any size yarn or hook. Below is the detailed breakdown of the process:
Materials Needed
- Three-ply yarn (or any yarn size you prefer).
- 3mm hook (can be substituted with any size, depending on your preference).
Steps to Make the Phone Holder
Step 1: Create the Base
- Begin by making a slip knot and crocheting a chain to serve as the base.
- Add three extra chains to prepare for double crochet stitches.
- Skip the extra chains and start working double crochet into the fourth chain.
- Continue making double crochet stitches along the chain.
- At the last chain, create an increase to shape the holder.
- Work double crochet stitches along the opposite side of the original chain to complete the base.
- Close the round using a slip stitch.
Step 2: Build the Pattern with Double Crochets
- Start the second round by chaining three. Work double crochets into the same space.
- Skip a few stitches, and then make another set of double crochet clusters (three double crochets in one stitch).
- Repeat this pattern until the round is complete.
- Close the round by making a slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain.
Step 3: Create the Rows for the Holder
- For subsequent rounds, follow similar steps to create clusters of double crochet.
- In this round, you will work into the open spaces (holes) from the previous row to continue the cluster pattern.
- Repeat the process for as many rows as needed to achieve the required length of the phone holder.
- Ensure that the edges are uniform and symmetrical.
Step 4: Measure and Finalize the Phone Holder
- Once the double crochet rows are complete, measure the phone holder’s length and width to confirm it fits your phone. The recommended dimensions are approximately 7 inches in length and 3.6 inches in width.
Steps to Add the Handle
Step 1: Choose the String Style
- Without cutting the yarn, begin crafting a handle or cord starting from one side of the holder.
- You can create the handle directly using simple crochet stitches or attach a premade cord.
Step 2: Adjust the Handle Length
- Create a handle of your preferred length—11 inches for a hand-held option or longer for a shoulder-length strap.
Step 3: Finish the Handle
- Once the handle is complete, fasten off the yarn, weave in the ends, and attach it securely to the phone holder.
Final Touches
- Straighten the holder and handle for a professional look.
- Test the phone holder’s fit with your phone to ensure it works as intended.
Conclusion
This crochet phone holder tutorial is beginner-friendly and allows for personalization in size and handle length. Once finished, the phone holder can be used as a practical accessory or given as a gift.
