Materials;

For this sleeve, I used an 8 ply cotton yarn and a size 3.5mm hook. Cotton yarn is thinner than your average wool yarn so if you’re going to use wool, you may want to keep your stitches tighter or use a smaller hook.

Terms (I follow US terminology):

SC – Single Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet

You’ll need:

8 ply Cotton Yarn
3.5mm hook
Scissors
Yarn Needle

Button (at least 1.5cm in diameter)

3. 1 SC into next 13 free loops (also known as unused loops).

4. You should have a total of 28 stitches. DO NOT join round. Work continuously in the round.

5. 1 SC in each of the 28 stitches in the back loops only.
6. Your work will naturally curve outwards.
7. 1 HDC in each of the 28 stitches around working on both loops from here on.
8. Make the stitches tighter around the sides for a snug fit your phone.

9. Continue to make stitches until you have reached the desired height for your phone. Mine worked out at 22 rounds – that’s including the first round. To make the cover, make sure you start off your stitch from the right side – (see above picture, no. 9). Chain 1 then turn your work.
