Introduction

• The tutorial begins with a greeting from the creator, Anuta from “The Crochet World.”
• Anuta introduces the project: a beautiful crocheted phone cover.
• Materials used include 100% cotton yarn and a 4mm crochet hook.

Starting the Base

• Making the Slip Knot: Begin with a slip knot.
• Chain Foundation: Create a foundation of chains.
• Single Crochets: Turn the work and crochet along the back side of the chain, starting from the second chain.
• Mark First Stitch: Place a stitch marker on the first stitch.
• Add Stitches Near the End: Add multiple single crochets into the last chain to round the edges.

Round 1: Building the Base

• Continue single crocheting into each chain along the opposite side.
• Add extra stitches into the starting chain to complete the round.
• Finish round 1 by slip-stitching into the first stitch.

Round 2: Start Back Loop Crochets

• Chain One: Start the round with a chain to secure the section.
• Back Loop Only: Work single crochets into the back loop of every stitch.
• Finish Round: Proceed with back loop single crochets for the entire round.

Rounds 3 and 4: Establish the Pattern

• Switch to spiral crochet for subsequent rounds.
• Pattern Details:
  • Perform one single crochet and one double crochet into the same stitch.
  • Skip the next stitch and repeat the previous pattern into the following stitch.
• Continue until the end of each round.

Adding Length

• Repeat Pattern: Extend the phone cover by repeating the established pattern for multiple rounds until the desired length is achieved.
• Customizable Size: Adjust the number of rounds depending on the size of the phone cover – fewer rounds for a smaller cover, and more for a larger one.

Creating the Strap

• Chain 2: Begin the strap by chaining.
• Building the Strap:
  • Work single crochet stitches, looping them back into the new sections.
  • Continue until the desired strap length is achieved.
• Attach the Strap: Secure the strap onto the phone cover, ensuring it isn’t twisted.

Adding the Button and Loop

• Create Button Loop:
  • Make a separate loop using chains and secure it.
  • The loop size will depend on the button used.
• Attach the Button: Sew or glue the button to the front of the phone cover.

Creating the Flower Decoration

• Start with Magic Circle:
  • Form the base of the flower using a magic circle.
  • Work multiple single crochet stitches into the circle and close it.

• Build Inner Layers:
  • Add stitches in a spiral pattern for multiple rounds to expand the flower.
• Create Petals:
  • Switch yarn color and crochet each petal using a combination of double crochets, chain stitches, and picots.
  • Repeat until all petals are formed.

Final Steps

• Attach the Flower:
  • Secure the flower onto the phone cover using fabric glue or yarn stitches.
• Finish the Design: Ensure all loose ends are hidden securely.
• The completed phone cover features a strap, button closure, and decorative flower.
