Step-by-Step Instructions
Part 1: Phone Case (Main Body)
Step 1: Foundation
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain a foundation row: Create sufficient chains to match your phone’s width. For example: Chain 22–30 sts for standard phones (adjust as needed).
- Row 1:
- Skip the first chain, and work 1 sc into the second chain.
- Continue working 1 sc into each chain until the end of the row.
- Row 2 onwards:
- Ch 1, turn your work, and work 1 sc into each st across the row.
Step 2: Repeat Rows for Length
- Continue working rows of sc until the piece reaches the desired length to cover your phone completely.
- Match the dimensions: Place your phone next to the project periodically to ensure fit.
Part 2: Bear Head (Circular Base)
Step 1: Create Foundation Ring
- Make a Magic Ring: Hold the yarn and wrap it around your fingers, and then work into the ring.
- Round 1:
- Ch 2 (does not count as a st).
- Work 12 dc into the magic ring.
- Pull the ring tight, and sl st into the top of the first dc to close the round.
- Round 2:
- Ch 2, then work 2 dc into every st from the previous row (increase round). You should now have 24 sts.
- Sl st into the top of the first dc to close the round.
Step 2: Adding Decorative Texture
- Round 3:
- Add ear-like texture: Work 5 dc into the first st, and then follow it with 1 sc in the same st.
- Sl st across the next 5 sts.
- Repeat for the second ear: In the next st, work 5 dc followed by 1 sc, and then sl st in the next few stitches to the round’s end.
- Finish the round and weave in ends: Cut yarn, leaving a tail for sewing later.
Part 3: Bear Snout
Step 1: Magic Ring
- Start with a magic ring.
- Round 1:
- Ch 1 and work 12 sc into the ring.
- Pull the ring tight, and sl st into the first sc to close the round.
Step 2: Round 2:
- Work sl st into every st from the previous row. Insert a stitch marker into the first sl st for reference.
- Finish the snout: Cut yarn, leaving a tail for sewing onto the head.
Step 3: Embroider Nose and Mouth
- Use black yarn, and embroider:
- A triangular nose, filling densely in the center of the snout.
- Small curved lines to define the mouth beneath the triangle.
Part 4: Attaching Features
Step 1: Sew Snout onto Bear Head
- Place the snout in the center bottom of the bear’s round head piece.
- Using the tail from the snout, sew along the edge, working through the back loops of the snout stitches and onto the head fabric.
Step 2: Add Eyes
- Position safety eyes or crochet small black ovals for eyes.
- Sew or insert eyes securely on either side of the snout.
Part 5: Attach Bear Head to Phone Case
- Position the bear head at the center top of the phone case.
- Use the yarn tails from the head, sew it securely onto the case, working around the edges in small, even stitches.
Part 6: Crochet the Top of the Case
- Turn the case inside out.
- Work 1 sc into every edge stitch around the top of the case to create a neat border.
- At the seam edges, ensure stitches are evenly spaced to avoid gaps.
Part 7: Sew the Case Closed
