Give your phone handmade protection with this Herringbone Phone Cover Pattern by Kirsten Ballering! It’s a quick project for making a vibrant and functional accessory. It uses simple stitches and beginner-worthy color changes, which create a vibrant ombre effect. What else could one wish for from a crocheted phone holder?
Is The Herringbone Crochet Stitch Hard For Beginners?
Not at all! The pattern uses herringbone half double crochet stitches, very simple to master, even for beginners. It’s a pretty variation on the regular half double crochet, but it’s a bit taller and twisted, creating diagonal, woven-like lines that give a textured look.
For this, you yarn over, insert the hook through the stitch, yarn over and pull through, then yarn over and pull through two. You can also watch this video tutorial for extra help.
What Yarn and Hook Do I Need for This Pattern?
The pattern works great with sport-weight yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook. The designer recommends using Phildar Phil Coton 3. It’s a 100% cotton yarn with a sturdy finish that ensures high durability and easy washing. However, any other cotton yarn in the same weight is sure to give similar results.
For the eye-catching ombre design, prepare yarn in four shades from the same family of colors.
How To Resize A Herringbone Crochet Phone Cover
This crochet phone cozy will fit a phone that’s 5.5” x 2.7” x 0.4” (14 x 6.8 x 1cm) if made with the suggested supplies. You can also easily adjust its width by adding or removing stitches from the starting chain. If your phone is longer, you may need to add one row of each color to achieve a coherent look and better fit.
