Crocheted telephone cover – DIY

Crochet phone cover with bubble pattern

I have lost my old crocheted telephone cover. Of cause loosing it is not great, however, it is a good opportunity to make a new. For a while I have been wanting to crochet with bubble stitches and therefore the new cover is made with bubbles.

DIY – Crocheted telephone cover

The cover is crocheted with blue and beige cotton and a crochet hook no. 3,5.

Bubble stitches:

As my yarn is quite thin and most of my cover is made with double crochet stitches, I had to make my bubbles a little bit different then what is normally done. Normally you would crochet 5 treble stitches in the same chain leaving the last chain from each stitch on the hook (total of 6 chains on hook). In the end the yarn is pulled through all 6 chains and a new stitch is started. If I made my bubbles this way they would be too big and pull the cover uneven. To compensate for the this I have made 4 half treble stitches instead of 5 treble.

Cover:

  1. Make 30 chains and make a ring using a slip stitch
  2. Make 1 double crochet stitch in each chain in the ring
  3. Continue with double crochet stitches in a ring until you want to start the bubble pattern
  4. Make 7 double crochet stitches, 1 bubble (as described above), 22 double crochet stitches
  5. Continue with the bubble pattern as shown on the drawing below. Each cross is a double crochet stitch and each circle is a bubble. The ‘back’ of the cover (the other 15 chains) are all double crochet stitches.
  6. Continue with double crochet stitches until the cover has the desired size

Finally the bottom of the cover is sewn together and the phone has a new home.

When the phone is rolling around in the handbag it is great to know that it is protected by a soft cover. If the phone has a tendency to fall out of the cover you can sew a button/sting closing mechanism on it.
