Pinky Mobile case

Good day friends !!!

  A Mobile case crochet was the first thing  i did when i started to learn . It turned out well enough to give me more confidence to do further .Infact , it is the best quick thing to do for ourselves .

Crocheting is both fun and versatile... Be it decorations , accessories like handbag,clutch jewelry,etc,utilities such as dishcloth ,baskets ..anything can be crocheted 

Choosing the right type of yarn gives us amazing results.

In this post am posting a simple and easy mobile case with just double crochet stitches .

      


Considering the ease of use ,i preferred drawstring in the case to flip cover.

Materials used:
Yarn :cotton 100%(both pink and white)
hook :2mm


Crochet in cotton yarn makes the stitch look more distinct .though it is little tough than the woolen and as you can see simple dc stitch looks good enough.

Look Into dc (double crochet),hdc(half double crochet) for further details.



Steps to do :

1.Measure the  width of your mobile .and do the foundation chain of the length  twice the width of the mobile .  Add two more chain  and slip stitch to the first chain to form a round. The extra two chains covers the thickness of your mobile.

Mine is Moto e and chains made is 35+2 =37

2. After slip stitch chain 3 and dc on each stitch.To finish the round slip stitch on the 3rd chain made a first.  .so the work goes round row by row  .\

3. White yarn is changed when 3/4th of length is covered with pink yarn.

   Change of yarn :

 on the top of 3rd chain made at the start of the row white yarn is pulled  instead of pink leaving a small amount of yarn forward ,yarn over and continue crocheting with white and pink beneath as shown in below pic 

continue holding beneath  for some stitches holding both yarn and leave them knotted or as such . this way inside out of the case also looks neat.

white and pink beneath the stitches 

4.With white hdc is made just for small variation . continue till height  of the mobile .

5.After finishing till the height only drawstring stitches  can be added .When drawstring is pulled top of the case should be shrinked without affecting the case stitch .So stitches are increased in drawstring holder.

Stitch increase- 1 stitch per 2 stitches.

finishing  the hdcs , chain 3 and dc2tog the next stitch,chain 2 ,dc 2 tog next two  stitches chain 2 and move on like the same till the end of the round 

so, for two stitches three stitches are made .and this itself worked out well. Slipstitch to finish the case.

Drawstring:

Using any yarn chain upto a length desired .the drawstring should go into the dc2tog stitches alternately  and come around as shown  in pic.

After chaining the desired length, chain one more but little loose ,take out the hook ,cut the yarn after some length.now, fold the remaining yarn into the chain like shown in the pic below .

Insert into the mobile case using other end and the insert the starting leftover yarn also into the last chain and tighten it. cut at the end to form the bunchy part.

 A simple bow added made it look still more good.

Bow is simple and easy to do .For easy and quick understanding i drew a picture for the flow.

hope you got into the flow.!!!. TheBlack line is the start.for each part of the bow 8 chain are made.tail two parts are for chain with sc s.

steps:

• Chain 12 and slipstitch into the 5th stitch from the start .lets keep this as centre.
• Chain 4 downwards ,sc across,slipstitch in the centre ; again chain 4 downward  ,sc across ,slipstitch in the centre .
• chain 4 and slip stitch in the start, 
• 4 sc s into the loop , slipstitch in the middle ;8scs into another loop ;then do remaining 4 scs in the first loop.fasten off ;

Sew the bow with sewing needle and thread on the desired place of your case.

 Hang on for further interesting patterns!!!!
