Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn (in forest green for the case and various colors for the floral motifs such as lavender, blush pink, and sunny yellow)
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends and sewing floral motifs

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Base of the Phone Case

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through.
2. Round 1: Inside the magic ring, crochet 6 single crochets (sc). Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. You should have 6 stitches.
3. Round 2: Chain 1 (ch 1), then crochet 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You will have 12 stitches now.
4. Round 3: Chain 1, then *crochet 1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st. You will have 18 stitches.
5. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing by adding 1 sc between increases until the base measures the width of your phone. For example, if your phone width is 3 inches, keep increasing until you reach the desired width.

Working the Body of the Phone Case

1. Work Even: After achieving the desired width, work in single crochet (sc) without increasing until the piece measures the height of your phone. Measure your phone from the bottom to the top to determine the height needed.

Adding the Scalloped Edge

1. Prepare for the Scalloped Edge: Once you reach the desired height, prepare to create the scalloped edge.
2. Scalloped Edge Round: *Skip 1 stitch, crochet 5 double crochets (dc) in the next stitch, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around the top edge of the phone case. This will create a beautiful scalloped effect.

Finishing Touches

1. Fasten Off: Once you complete the scalloped edge, fasten off your yarn and cut it, leaving a tail for weaving in.
2. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
3. Add Floral Motifs: To create small flowers, crochet several small flowers in your chosen colors. Sew these flowers onto the phone case using a tapestry needle, placing them wherever you like for a whimsical touch.
