This is totally a non-lacy crochet project, and I
wasn’t sure whether I should post it on my blog. It doesn’t really fit in with
all my romantic doilies and soft baby blankets. But the truth is I really
wanted to show off my new iPhone case.
I made it with leftover Vanna’s Glamour by Lion
Brand yarn and size D (3.25mm) hook.
As I was crocheting it, I thought of making a flap
with a button, but then I thought by the time I manage to unbutton it, I will
probably miss the call. So I kept it as a simple small bag. I also wanted to
decorate it with a small flower, but I changed my mind about that as well. I
must say I like its simple look. The yarn has a metallic strand, which adds a
bit of sparkle to the case. Good enough for me!
I have a 3G iPhone (yes, when it comes to the latest
technology gadgets, I linger behind), but I think this case would fit the later
models as well.
Here is my super easy pattern:
Round 1: Ch 13, dc in 4th ch from hook
(3 skipped ch count as 1st dc), dc in each ch across, 2 dc in last
ch. Continue along the other side of the starting chain, dc in each ch across.
Join the round with sl st to 1st dc. (25 dc).
Round 2: ch 3, dc in back loop only of each dc
around. Join the round with sl st to 1st dc. (25 dc).
Repeat Round 2 additional nine times; that will
give you 11 rounds in total.
Fasten off.

Ольга, хоть и простая, но нужная вещь. Я связала чехольчик спицами, а теперь думаю, что крючком было бы лучше:).

I tried this and while one side stayed straight, the other end of the case got wider and wider. I have a feeling it has something to do with me chaining 3 times when I repeat round 2 but I'm not sure what I'm doing that's different from the instructions. Is there any other reason that the place where I slip stitch keeps getting bigger while the other side stays straight?
ReplyDeleteHi, I think you might be adding one extra dc in the beginning of each round. When you start 2nd round (and the following ones) ch 3 in the beginning of the round counts as 1st dc, so the amount of dcs in each round should be the same. I think what you do is you make ch 3, and then you make dc in the same space/stitch where sl st was made, and therefore it keeps getting wider.
DeleteThat's the only thing I can think about. It might help if you send me a closeup picture (you can see my e-mail in my profile), and I'll try to figure out what's going on.
